Such tools were purposely introduced to disrupt the way designers generally interact with textiles and generate conversations around it. The study was conducted in a textile fair during two consecutive years with an expert audience who were in the mind-set of sourcing. This study resulted in four main themes that reveal the importance of the multisensory experience to textile selection, and the complexity of remembering and communicating such experiences in the design process, given how tacit such experiences are.","PeriodicalId":267763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127374363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students were instructed to solve the physics problems by presenting them three coherent representations about a phenomenon: Vectorial representations, data tables and diagrams. The effectiveness of each representation was assessed for three levels of student expertise (experts, intermediates and novices) using entropy-based transition analysis of the gaze data. The results show that students of different skill level (a) prefer different representations for problem-solving, (b) switch between representations with different frequencies, and (c) can be distinguished by the density of representation use. The obtained results confirm earlier findings of physics education research quantitatively which were initially obtained by student interviews and observational studies.","PeriodicalId":267763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124894027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It aims to use lifestyle information to map out the key elements of a regular railway commute, the stressors encountered during the process, and the factors that make it a salient habit. Research will then involve the utilisation of both travel and lifestyle data to identify the points in a person's life at which these habits can be influenced -- namely, the question of whether information provision during times of lifestyle/contextual change can be effective in influencing travel habits. Furthermore, it will involve the analysis of key stressors within the travel context, and how they can be avoided through the provision of appropriate information at the right time. The objectives of this form research involve improving customer experience for the individual through personal optimisation of everyday travel, while also providing train operating companies with a more comprehensive understanding of customer issues. The project will give the academic literature a comprehensive understanding of the psychological motivations, and situational factors that influence the daily commuter; thus providing a more in-depth understanding of how the concept of digital identity can be used to understand the life of a typical railway traveller.","PeriodicalId":267763,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct","volume":"17 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126095175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel method for eyelid identification and aperture estimation is proposed and evaluated against challenging data from an eye-tracking experiment conducted in driving scenarios in the wild.
