Kinesthetic Metaphors for Precise Spatial Manipulation: A Study of Object Rotation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, we report on our investigation of kinesthetic feedback as a means to provide precision, accuracy, and mitigation of arm fatigue in spatial manipulation tasks. Most works on spatial manipulation discuss the ...
Investigating a Mixed-Initiative Workflow for Digital Mind-Mapping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we report on our investigation of human-AI collaboration for mind-mapping. We specifically focus on problem exploration in pre-conceptualization stages of early design. Our approach leverages the notion of ...
Motoric and Perceptual Kinesthetic Symmetry in Bi-Manual Interactions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bi-manual (two-handed) actions have shown notable success in rehabilitative and therapeutic applications from the point of motor symmetry. Recent studies have shown that symmetry in actions is attributed to sensorimotor ...
Reflect–Express–Transform: Investigating Speech-Based Iterative Digital Design for Young Designers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We investigate speech-based input as a means to enable reflective thinking for younger individuals (middle- and high-school students) during design iterations. Verbalization offers a unique way to externalize ideas in early ...
Data-Driven Digital Twins for Real-Time Machine Monitoring: A Case Study on a Rotating Machine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, we present a framework for data-driven digital twins for real-time machine monitoring. Data-driven digital twins are gaining prominence in a variety of industrial applications owing to their ability to capture ...
Pointing Tasks Using Spatial Audio on Smartphones for People With Vision Impairments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an experimental investigation of spatial audio feedback using smartphones to support direction localization in pointing tasks for people with visual impairments (PVIs). We do this using a mobile game based on a ...
Making-a-Scene: A Preliminary Case Study on Speech-Based 3D Shape Exploration Through Scene Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We explore verbalization as a means for quick-and-dirty 3D shape exploration in early design. Our work stems from the knowledge gap that the fundamental principles necessary to operationalize speech as a viable means for ...
Spatial Manipulation in Virtual Peripersonal Space: A Study of Motor Strategies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article studies fine motor strategies for precise spatial manipulation in close-to-body interactions. Our innate ability for precise work is the result of the confluence of visuo-tactile perception, proprioception, ...
Generalizability of Convolutional Encoder–Decoder Networks for Aerodynamic Flow-Field Prediction Across Geometric and Physical-Fluidic Variations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The generalizability of a convolutional encoder–decoder based model in predicting aerodynamic flow field across various flow regimes and geometric variation is assessed. A rich master dataset consisting of 11,000+ simulations ...
