The position of a participant during an installation is a valuable data. One may want to start some sample when someone cross a line or stop the music automatically whenever there is nobody inside the main area. GPS is a good solution for localization, but it usually loses its capabilities inside buildings. This paper discuss the use of Wi-Fi signal strength during an installation as an alterna...

Proxemic interactions are one strategy for designing Natural User Interfaces (NUI) that consider people’s use and understanding of spatial relationships to other people, objects, and devices. In this position paper, we stipulate a number of challenges for proxemics-aware installations that are used by large crowds of people.

Power quality in public lighting networks is yet not sufficiently studied today. New conditions and requirements arise as a consequence of rapid application of new technologies like LED lighting, lighting control and monitoring, adaptive lighting systems etc. Optimization of reliable and efficient service of public lighting systems can be only achieved if behaviour of individual elements within...

The emergence of the digital media and computational tools has widened the doors for creativity. The cutting edge in the digital arts and role of new technologies can be explored for the possible creativity. This gives an opportunity to involve arts with technologies to make creative works. The interactive artworks are often installed in the places where multiple people can interact with the in...

When developing public installations, interaction designers are able to utilise increasingly natural modes of expression such as speech, gesture and touch. Conversely the resulting installations often place users in situations where they are confronted with entirely unnatural forms of interaction. How do we establish an understanding of peoples’ behaviour in such situations, and what bearing co...

This paper indicates how ammonia systems might be adapted to make them more suitable for use on installations which traditionally adopted CFC and HCFC refrigerants in the range 100kW – 600kW cooling capacity for warehouses, blast freezers and food factory applications. The examples draw on over twenty years of experience with low charge systems in Europe, but are specifically focussed on the Am...

Traditional dynamic arts have much to offer and it is time to explore how the elements and techniques from stage performances could contribute to interaction design. We try to apply performance techniques and elements from dynamic art forms in the design process of interactive art installations for public spaces. Currently we try not to identify new technologies; instead we investigate how the ...

Introduction: Best radiography practice involves operational optimal machine performance, delivering cost-effective healthcare services under appropriate safety conditions for workers and the public. The present study aimed to investigate the safety status of diagnostic X-ray installations in Mizoram, India. Material and Methods: Lineari...

This chapter draws principles to facilitate the implementation of programmes and policies ensure that potentially affected public is well informed about existing or planned hazardous installations opportunities for provide input, as appropriate, into decision making by authorities concerning such installations.
