Cooperation and Control: Resolving Conflicts in the Public Participation of Architecture Design in Museum (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Although there is a large number of study about the public participation in museum, little of this touched the public engagement in the stage of architecture design. To resolve the conflicts between the laymen and professionals, this paper generally...

Fame or function? How webcomic artists choose where to share (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Online social networks are complex systems that are traditionally discussed in several different ways, often revolving around either the technology and design of the platforms themselves, or the behaviour and social interactions of the communities th...

An investigation of augmented reality presentations of landmark-based navigation using a head-up display (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Using landmark-based navigation can greatly improve drivers’ route-finding performance. Previous research in this area has tended to focus on the inclusion of text or icon-based landmark information utilising dashboard-mounted displays. In contrast,...

Predicting the visual demand of finger-touch pointing tasks in a driving context (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Finger-touch based interactions with capacitive touchscreen devices in cars are becoming increasingly common. As such, it is critical to understand the basic human factors of target acquisition (pointing/touching) in this context. We describe a simul...

Comparing the NHTSA and ISO occlusion test protocols: how many participants are sufficient? (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Occlusion is a popular technique used to evaluate the visual demand associated with secondary tasks/devices in a driving context offering a low cost, highly accessible alternative to driving simulators and on-road studies. Several standardised occlus... Read More about Comparing the NHTSA and ISO occlusion test protocols: how many participants are sufficient?.

Applying NHTSA task acceptance criteria to different simulated driving scenarios (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Driver distraction is a major contributor to road traffic accidents. Consequently, NHTSA have published detailed guidelines intended to discourage the introduction of excessively distracting electronic devices in vehicles. However, concerns have been...

A novel mechatronics design of an electrochemical mechanical end-effector for robotic-based surface polishing (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a novel design of an end-effector and a process for automatic electrochemical mechanical polishing of conductive materials. The proposed end-effector employs three different actions, electrical, chemical and mechanical in a synerg...

Cell imaging using sub-optical wavelength ultrasonics (2015)
Conference Proceeding

At GHz frequencies the wavelength of ultrasound becomes comparable or smaller than the wavelength of light and so offers an intriguing way to image at the small scale. In this paper we report on new developments in pico-second laser ultrasonics that... Read More about Cell imaging using sub-optical wavelength ultrasonics.

Experimental investigation into droplet impingement upon moving films using high speed video and thermal imaging (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Aeroengine bearing chambers are geometrically complex, typically containing shafts, bearings, seals and stationary components. Oil is supplied for lubrication and cooling and so the chamber contains a highly rotating two-phase (oil/air) flow where th...
