Low-Power Gesture Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Ambient Lighting

This paper presents a study focused on developing an efficient signal processing pipeline and identifying suitable machine learning models for real-time gesture recognition using a testbed consisting of an Arduino Nano 33 BLE and three OPT101 photodiodes. Our research aims to address the challenges of limited computational power whilst...

A Sonic: Designing with sound acts

To listen and to make a noise, as sonic acts, formed the premise of the project. Continuing a lineage of inquiry of human conduct that is underpinned by the notion that humans engage in purposeful behaviour; the sonic act in the field of architecture questions how people behave sonically in their environments. The importance of this spatial...

The influence of incident waves on runup: A comparison between a phase-averaged and a phase-resolving XBeach model

Wave runup is generated by energy which remains after wave breaking and travels farther to the coast in the form of a bore. It can be seen as a thin wedge of water running up the beach face (Brocchini and Baldock, 2008). Under storm conditions runup is responsible for beach and dune erosion and accurate runup predictions are therefore required ...
