How stable are human aesthetic preferences, and how does stability change over the lifespan? Here we investigate the stability of aesthetic taste in a cross-sectional study. We employed a simple rank-order preference task using paintings and photographs of faces and landscapes. In each of the four stimulus classes, we find that aesthetic stability generally follows an inverted U-shaped function...

Modeling human aesthetic perception of visual textures is important and valuable in numerous industrial domains, such as product design, architectural design, and decoration. Based on results from a semantic differential rating experiment, we modeled the relationship between low-level basic texture features and aesthetic properties involved in human aesthetic texture perception. First, we compu...

The Spinning Screen In screen-based experiences, the screen itself can become the physical device used for interaction. The “move-ability” of the screen affords interactivity between the screen artifact and the viewer and between the virtual space and the physical space. As a movable screen interface, I have created the spinning screen, a two-sided monitor mounted on a revolving base. This inte...

Thirteen pairs of participants were encouraged to talk freely while looking at the art exhibit (their conversations were recorded with ICrecorders), and wer...
