A Concept for Re-useable Interactive Tactile Reliefs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a concept for a relief-printer, a novel produc tion method for tactile reliefs, that allows to reproduce bas-reliefs of several centimeters height difference. In contrast to available methods, this printer will have a much smaller preparation time, and does not consume material nor produce waste, since it is based on a re-usable medium, suitable for temporary printouts. Second, we sketch a concept for the autonomous, interactive exploration of tactile reliefs, in the form of a gesture-controlled audio guide, based on recent depth cameras. Es pecially the combination of both approaches promises rapid tactile ac cessibility to 2.5D spatial information in a home or education setting, to on-line resources, or as a kiosk installation in museums.

Herder and Reappraising Sculpture as Tactile Art
The main objective of this essay is to re-examine the nature of sculpture and its importance among arts via retrieving and studying the relatively neglected importance of touch in the experience of this art. This objective is pursued according to eighteenth-century German philosopher, Johann Gottfried Herder, by focusing on his Sculpture: Some Observations on Shape and Form from Pygmalion’s Cre...

Nowadays, the creation of methodologies and tools for facilitating the 3D reproduction of artworks and, contextually, to make their exploration possible and more meaningful for blind users is becoming increasingly relevant in society. Accordingly, the creation of integrated systems including both tactile media (e.g., bas-reliefs) and interfaces capable of providing the users with an experience ...

متن کاملMulti-command Chest Tactile Brain Computer Interface for Small Vehicle Robot Navigation
The presented study explores the extent to which tactile stimuli delivered to five chest positions of a healthy user can serve as a platform for a brain computer interface (BCI) that could be used in an interactive application such as robotic vehicle operation. The five chest locations are used to evoke tactile brain potential responses, thus defining a tactile brain computer interface (tBCI). ...
متن کاملSegmenting Periodic Reliefs on Triangle Meshes
Decorative reliefs are widely used for e.g. packaging and porcelain design. In periodic reliefs, the relief repeats a pattern, for example all the way around an underlying surface of revolution. Reverseengineering of existing reliefs allows them to be re-applied to different base surfaces; we show here how to segment a single repeat unit of a periodic relief starting from a scanned triangle mes...
