There are already countless relevant platforms and components available that may be reused to become part of new ecosystems for supporting new services for improved human system interaction. The CAMINO Ecosystem, developed as part of the European CAMI project, aims at providing a framework and reference implementation of a vendor agnostic ecosystem built on existing platforms and components. Specifically, the CAMINO Ecosystem aims at identifying which existing technological building blocks are needed and available for creating such an open and agnostic ecosystem for supporting optimal human system interaction without being tied to a single vendor. CAMINO should be seen as a conceptual ecosystem, that relies on third-party frameworks, platforms, and components, and which is intended to evolve over time. The aim of this short paper is to present the CAMINO Ecosystem and the building blocks it consists of in order to showcase a fully functional ambient assisted living ecosystem offering novel human system interaction components. We present the preliminary experiences gained and discuss future relevant developments.","PeriodicalId":441117,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Conference on Human System Interaction (HSI)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123476870","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}

To what extend older users acceptance and use of the autonomous robot is the central research topic covered in this paper. To evaluate this problem user validation was performed together with 5 older people in their own homes during 10 weeks of trials. Detailed results covering user acceptance, their attitude towards the robot, perception of the robot and scores regarding the naturalness, animacy and intelligence of the tested system were measured using The Godspeed and the Almere questionnaire. The results show high acceptance of the robot in the context of perceived enjoyment, perceived ease of use, trust and social influence.

By forming them to thin wires, they can shrink at a certain temperature; and then extend to original length after cooling below this temperature, thus shape-memory effect is observed. When pulse current is applied to a SMA wire, Joule heat generated inside makes the wire shrink about 5% of its length, and returns to the origin length when the pulse stops, which generate vibration in accordance with the frequency of the current. A novel designed actuator using the vibration of two SMA wires is proposed in this paper. The actuator has compact size and low energy consumption of milliwatts order. Tactile sensation is one of the important ways in human's five senses, which are used to acquire information from surrounding environment. In this paper, we are trying to transmit recognized information by translating it to tactile sensation perceived by skin around eyes. We divide the skin area around eyes into 4 zones, and design two tactile display prototypes. By installing multiple actuators in prototypes and applying pulse signals with different parameters, we conduct experiments to find optimal driving parameters to generate tactile sensation in designated skin areas. The higher-level perception in these area is tested by combining different parameters and stimulation patterns. Finally, information transmission is evaluated by the feedback from subjects and it turns out the proposed system performs well. In the final part we also propose potential applications of this system.","PeriodicalId":441117,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Conference on Human System Interaction (HSI)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128408272","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}

State-of-the-art VR is rapidly evolving and has resulted in enhanced user experience, which leads to a completely immersive experience. Advances in high-resolution displays and highly powerful computer graphics hardware drive the most substantial advancement in VR, which is the introduction of low-cost consumer-grade head-mounted displays (HMD). Despite being inexpensive and providing a high-quality VR experience, commonly used HMDs have a limited field of view, and giving multiple people access to the same virtual environment is inherently challenging. CAVE™ Automated Virtual Environments (CAVE) have benefitted from the same advances in computer graphics hardware and from improvements to binocular (stereo) projection technology, which has reduced the cost and complexity of such systems and increased the visual display quality (resolution, colour, frame rate, etc.). Unlike in HMDs, in a CAVE tracking system, interaction technologies and audio are distinct sub-systems that need to be designed to achieve the desired purpose. A designer needs to consider applications to be used in CAVE and optimise performance. In this paper, we present the design specifications of a reconfigurable CAVE-like VR system that incorporates 6-degree-of-freedom haptic interaction and 3D ambisonic audio. The system was designed for the Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training, VR Lab, at Deakin University. Future directions and different use cases along with a comparison matrix are presented to highlight the advantages of the presented system over other existing VR technologies.","PeriodicalId":441117,"journal":{"name":"2018 11th International Conference on Human System Interaction (HSI)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114264897","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}

Error measures are proposed to express the frame-wise accuracy of classifying algorithms, as well as the segmentation of the result sequences which they produce. The two compared algorithms, after applying the FSA improvement, perform better in terms of all the considered measures. The performed experiments have allowed to draw conclusions regarding preferred methods of measuring accuracy of such algorithms and the selection of suitable classification algorithms for being improved.

The current heart rate value could be obtained by putting a finger to the lens of the camera and its flashlight, followed by a suitable pulse calculation algorithm. At the end of the experiment, a short and non-obligatory form for the gender, age and cardiovascular diseases of the person could be filled and the results are recorded in the database in a way that they could be compared with the measurements from watches. After collecting the intended amount of measurements, it was necessary to send a measurement file to a computer that could calculate the heart rate estimations.
