Comparing mixed reality use in ecologically distinct urban sites: embodied tools for participatory environmental design

open access: yesFrontiers in Virtual Reality
Mixed reality (MR) environments offer new opportunities for embodied interaction in participatory design processes. This study evaluates whether mobile MR tools influence ecological awareness and co-design behavior across two distinct urban settings ...

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Nodding detection system based on head motion and voice rhythm

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2021
Human beings communicate using more than verbal communication. To communicate smoothly, humans tend to use nonverbal information such as nodding during embodied interactions.

Embodiment as a means for scaffolding young childrenʼs social skill acquisition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, we discuss the notion of embodiment in the context of the ECHOES project, which aims at developing a multi-modal interactive environment for scaffolding young typically developing (TD) children and children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) in ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Hands on - hands off: on hitting your thumb with a virtual hammer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In a wired world even the most physically embodied craft skills are affected by computer facilitated communication. To consider how different sorts of space – both real and virtual – influence the learning of craft skills this paper presents three types

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...
