YourGlove: a device for remote hand holding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer mediated communication (CMC) systems, as with the great majority of interactive systems, rely on their users’ ability to encode and decode messages in sight and sound. They are however notoriously problematic for implicit communication and fostering a sense of intimacy between couples. We describe the design concept and construction of a device intended to exploit existing behaviour and a haptic sensory channel: hand holding.

If you can't grab it, it won't grab you: The effect of restricting the dominant hand on target evaluations
a r t i c l e i n f o This research examines whether and how holding one object influences evaluations of another. Across four studies, we find that occupying the dominant (vs. non-dominant) hand leads to lower evaluations of the target object; further, process data suggests that this effect occurs because dominant hand restriction impairs the ease with which the perceiver simulates holding the...
متن کاملRemote optical control of an optical flip-flop.
We experimentally demonstrate control of a holding-beam-enabled optical flip-flop by means of optical signals that act in a remote fashion. These optical-control signals vary the holding-beam power by means of cross-gain modulation within a remotely located semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The power-modulated holding beam then travels through a resonant-type SOA, where flip-flop action oc...
متن کاملThe Control Strategy for Degrees of Freedom in Remote Prehension with a Tool
Constructing movement couplings is essential for decreasing degrees-of-freedom for a compound movement that requires coordination over a multiple segments. Angular movements of joints in the upper limbs are examined, the pattern of movement couplings between prehension performed with the hands (natural prehension) and with a simple grasper held in the hands (remote prehension). In remote prehen...
متن کاملRemote ergonomic research in space: spacelab findings and a proposal.
This paper discusses ergonomics research using remotely situated video cameras in spacecraft. Two prototype studies of crewmembers working in the micro-G environments aboard the first two flights of Spacelab are described. Various aspects of crew restraint, stabilization, manipulation of controls, and mobilization were observed, operationally defined, and quantified by observing videotaped scen...
متن کاملSensor-based force measurement during FESS for robot assisted surgery
The main disadvantage of conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for the surgeon is the restriction to one hand for manipulation while the other hand is holding the endoscope. In our project we develop an automatic anticipating robot assisted endoscope guidance during FESS. The robot guidance will be realized by a multisensor system which includes tactile control. The objective ...
