Gilded Gait
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe Gilded Gait, a system that changes the perceived physical texture of the ground, as felt through the soles of users’ feet. Ground texture, in spite of its potential as an effective channel of peripheral information display, has so far been paid little attention in HCI research. The system is designed as a pair of insoles with embedded actuators, and utilizes vibrotactile feedback to simulate the perceptions of a range of different ground textures. The discreet, low-key nature of the interface makes it particularly suited for outdoor use, and its capacity to alter how people experience the built environment may open new possibilities in urban design. ACM Classification: H.5.2 Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI): Miscellaneous. General terms: Design, Human Factors

Setup of Galvanic Sensors for the Monitoring of Gilded Bronzes
Traditional electrochemical techniques, such as linear polarization resistance (Rp), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cannot be applied to gilded bronzes, as it may not be possible to interpret the results obtained due to the bimetallic nature of the studied material. The measurement of the macrocouple current generated by the gold/bronze galvanic couple can be used as an indic...

A New Gilded Age, and What It Means for Global Health; Comment on “Global Health Governance Challenges 2016 – Are We Ready?”
New contours of global inequality present new challenges for global health, and require that we consider new kinds of health issues as global. I provide a number of illustrations, arguing the need for a political science of health that goes beyond conventional preoccupations with formal institutional and interstate interactions and takes into account how globalization has affected the health po...
متن کاملDarnault Mirror: an Acrylic Emulsion Compensation System
This paper will discuss the evolution of the treatment for a 1751 French boiserie mirror retaining approximately 30% of its original gilding. In the first phase of the treatment, the mirror had been thoroughly analyzed and documented, tests were undertaken and cleaning and compensation method testing had commenced. This philosophical discussion was presented in a paper in the general session la...
