Tangible computing incorporates gesture, grasping, and the use of physical objects as integral parts of interaction design. This paper describes a theory-driven design studio course in which students were asked to develop a new tangible application grounded in the psychology of gesture and thought and informed by protocol studies and critiques of the role of gesture in existing tangible applica...

This paper explains the theoretical and practical objectives of infosense, a studio for designing interactive experiences in sensate space. Spaces embedded with sensing capabilities for gathering information about users form a new design phenomenon that requires strategies for developing responsive, interactive visual and sonic displays. The infosense studio exposed students to a range of intel...

Previous studies have shown that many students have misconceptions about basic concepts in physics which persist after instruction. It has been concluded that one of the challenges lies in the teaching methodology. To address this, Georgia State University (GSU) has begun teaching studio algebra-based physics. Although many institutions have implemented studio physics, most have done so in calc...

This contribution presents an instructional model that aims to offer a convenient alternative to study abroad programs in college education. The instructional model, known as the International Reciprocal Distance Education Model (Vásquez de Velasco & Holland, 1998a), is implemented by means of tactical models that address all possible instructional scenarios of a design curriculum. All the tact...

In the paper a form-driven approach to the application development is presented. Our development environment IIS*Studio suports presented form-driven approach. It is aimed to provide the information system design and generating executable application prototypes. A form type is central IIS*Studio concept, used to model the structure and constraints of various business documents. On the one hand,...

One barrier to the uptake of Geocomputation is that, unlike GIS, it has no system or toolbox that provides easy access to useful functionality. This paper describes an experimental environment, GeoVISTA Studio, that attempts to address this shortcoming. Studio is a Java-based, visual programming environment that allows for the rapid, programming free development of complex data exploration and ...

Like finger prints each individual has a unique dental arch form design. Recording patient's dental arch form may be required in various fields in dentistry be it longitudinal studies for evaluating growth, forensic dentistry and most importantly in orthodontic practice for fabricating arch wires for individual patients. An easy and practical method to obtain individual arch form for each patie...
