Shaping Human—Environment Interactions

2015
Whereas humanity was still at the stage of hunting and gathering having little impact on the biosphere just a few thousand years ago, humans have become a global force in shaping the planet in the 21st century. This transformation has been accompanied by fundamental changes in the perception of human–environment relationships.

Multi-modal Human–Environment Interaction

2006
AmI environments require robust and intuitive interfaces for accessing their embodied functionality. This chapter describes a new paradigm for tangible multi-modal interfaces, in which humans can manipulate, and converse with physical objects in their surrounding environment via coordinated speech, handwriting, and gesture.

A model and framework for human–environment interaction

annals of telecommunications - annales des télécommunications, 2010
This paper describes our approach for studying and prototyping human-environment interaction (HEI) within a pervasive space applied to ambient assistive living context. The objective of our approach consists in developing and implementing an HEI framework to modelling the human-machine interaction.

A Second Environmental Science: Human-Environment Interactions

Science, 1993
Concerned scientists recently signed a World Scientists Warning to Humanity that advocates policies necessary to change a collision course with the natural world that human activities are engendering. The document calls for an end to population growth and poverty and it predicts conflicts over increasingly scarce resources.

Towards Better Human–Environment Interactions

2011
The Damodar riverbed has provided a home for marginalized communities, but the riverine environment itself has deteriorated; presenting us with a challenge to develop a more holistic and sustainable water management system. There should be a mix of structural and non-structural measures that acknowledge and incorporate local cultural attitudes ...

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 ...

HEI! – The Human Environment Interaction

2007
As computers are becoming more and more ubiquitous, moving from the desktop into the infrastructure of our everyday life, they begin to influence the way we interact with this environment - the (physical) entities that we operate upon in order to achieve our daily goals.

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.
