The field of interactive textiles has many names, all describing textiles that interact with the environment, often using electronics to create interactivity. However, combining textiles with electronics creates hard to recycle materials. In this research, linen is proposed as a sustainable alternative, using its hygromorphic characteristics to...

The textile and fashion industry, with its complex supply chain from fiber production to retail, employs harmful chemicals, posing risks to the environment and workers. Fast fashion has intensified clothing production, leading to extensive textile waste. Consequently, it has fostered a more ephemeral and less emotionally durable connection with...

In advanced capitalist societies, nature has become more dependent on human influence. But some species are living in closer proximity than others. Including the Lesser Black-backed Gull. Throughout the 20th century, human activities have led to changes in the environment of this “synanthropic” species, a species living in close proximity to...

Animal farming is increasingly getting more attention and debate nowadays because of a lot of environmental issues it caused. Apart from that, the intensive animal factories have made consumers quite separated from food animals. What’s more, the animal welfare in current animal farming is not ensured, especially in those intensive animal...

Nature inclusive is a large topic that is still in its pioneering phase. There is a need for clear elaboration and ways of incorporating this new way of thinking into design. In order to have a functional nature inclusive design one must fist<br/>know the existing ecosystem to contribute to this. The research question: how can a designer analyze...

For mobile augmented or virtual reality applications with limited processing power, representing realistic water geometry is a challenge. Many existing solutions are simulations that can only run at interactive rates on desktop computers. This paper presents a lightweight approximative approach to water representation achieved through mesh LOD...

This paper proposes a novel approach to visualizing events in sailing regattas, in a way that is engaging, informative and interactive to the users of the Sailing+ application. The approach used was to create two different types of visualizations for each type of event: artistic, which contains animations and effects such as depth of field, and...

In the underwater environment, it is all but silent. In most parts of the oceans, sunlight is barely available and thus marine animals have evolved to rely on sound for navigation, foraging and communication. Marine animals are not the only sources of underwater sound. Other natural sources such as earthquakes, waves and rain cause ambient noise...

Animal-induced anomalies on a levee surface negatively affect the erosion-resistance of a levee, leading to rapid failure of the inner slope in case of overtopping and/or overflow during high water. Where active prevention techniques of burrows from large animals, such as muskrats, are applied in and around levees in the Netherlands, the...

Last-mile delivery robots intended to operate on the sidewalk still require supervision because they are only semi-autonomous. If left to their own devices, they tend to cause undesired interactions. Our project proposes a design philosophy that can reduce the amount and severity of these interactions, improving the overall acceptance of...

In 2020 the law ‘informed consent’ is renewed, with the aim to strengthen the patient’s position in the field of shared health decision making. Research showed that patients only recall 20% of the information provided by their medical specialist.Therefore other information materials are offered, to ensure the patient can comprehend the other 80%...

Dogs and humans have been living in mutualistic symbiosis for centuries. The domestication of dogs was probably initiated over 15,000 years ago, when presumably proto-dogs took advantage of carcasses left behind by our hunter-gatherer ancestors and might have offered protection in return (Thalmann et al., 2013). This has resulted in a...

One of the most enriching relationships of human beings is the relationship between owner and companion-animal, including more specifically the relationship between owner and cat. Cats are the third-most important source for social support and security for human-beings. Cats are relatively easy to take care of and make people feel needed. Owners...

The assistance dogs provided by KNGF Geleidehonden are extremely helpful and important for people in a wheelchair with physical disabilities. These dogs wear assistance dog vests, when going outside, to communicate that they are service dogs. Some issues with the assistance dog vest exist however, because of which this graduation project...

We present a system that allows users to generate animations for 3D rigged geometry easily and quickly us- ing just a regular consumer Microsoft Kinect. The interactive system allows diverse meshes to be animated through the interaction of human body. Traditionally, creating expressive and convincing animation is a challenging and laborious. Our...

This report shows that animal glue from porcine skins can be used to make thin films with reproducible properties. It shows that the tensile strength of the film relates linearly to the bloom strength, while the stiffness remains constant for temperatures lower than the glass transition temperature. The report continues to show how Differential...
