Smart Material Interfaces: A Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a vision called Smart Material Interfaces (SMIs), which takes advantage of the latest generation of engineered materials that has a special property defined “smart”. They are capable of changing their physical properties, such as shape, size and color, and can be controlled by using certain stimuli (light, potential difference, temperature and so on). We describe SMIs in relation to Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) to convey the usefulness and a better understanding of SMIs.

Building Human-Friendly Robot Systems
To develop human friendly robots we required two key components; smart interfaces and safe mechanisms. Smart interfaces facilitate natural and easy interfaces for humanrobot interaction. Facial gestures can be a natural way to control a robot. In this paper, we report on a vision-based interface that in real-time tracks a user’s facial features and gaze point. Human friendly robots must also ha...

Smart Products (SPs) are elements for building ambient intelligent environments. AmI is considered to be a merger of Ubiquitous Computing (UC) with Social User Interfaces and refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people [1]. Many visions of UC have already come to reality: Computers are “everywhere” and we have reached an n-to-1 relationship betw...
