Intelligent Textiles for Physical Human-Environment Interactions

Adjunct Proceedings of the 36th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, 2023
Physical human-environment interaction is a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, involving the constant use of our sensory and motor systems to extract, process, and communicate information. Capturing, modeling, and augmenting these physical interactions are crucial for enhancing human well-being and promoting intelligent system designs. However, the

Functional Gestures for Human-Environment Interaction

2013
In this paper, we describe an opportunistic model for human-environment interaction. Such model is conceived to adapt the expressivity of a small lexicon of gestures through the use of generic functional gestures lowering the cognitive load on the user and reducing the system complexity. An interactive entity is modeled as a finite-state machine.

Psychology and the science of human-environment interactions.

American Psychologist, 2000
Psychology has an indispensable role in understanding environmental problems and finding solutions. To fill this role, psychologists must work within an interdisciplinary effort to build a scientific understanding of human-environment interactions. This article enumerates 8 widely held beliefs about these interactions and assesses the strengths and ...

Human–environment interaction in the Baltic Sea

Marine Policy, 2014
A model based on a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) has been constructed for the Baltic Sea with the aim of investigating future scenarios of human activities in the region and informing environmental management strategies, such as those developed under a Science and Policy Integration for Coastal Zone Assessment Systems Approach Framework application ...

Modeling Human-Environment Interactions

2005
Geographers are committed to understanding and exploring the many intersections that exist within and between human (social) and environment (physical) systems (see Turner 2002; Butzer 2002; and CGER 1997). However, much of the research performed at the nexus of social and physical systems is ideologically framed and emphasizes the vulnerability of ...

Human-Environment Interactions: A Plea for the Humanities

Nature and Culture, 2007
Research on human-environment interactions often neglects the resources of the humanities. Hurricane Katrina and the resulting levee breaches in New Orleans offer a case study on the need for inclusion of the humanities in the study of human-environment interactions, particularly the resources they provide in examining ethics and value concerns ...
