van Leeuwen, T. D. (author), Cleij, D. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bülthoff, H. H. (author)In motion simulation, motion input scaling is often applied to deal with the limited motion envelopes of motion simulators. In this research, the time-varying effects of scaling the lateral specific force up or down during passive curve driving in a car driving simulation are investigated through a simulator experiment. It is concluded that...journal article 2019

Aerts, Jozet (author)The aim of this master thesis is to create a product that can increase awareness about the influence of air quality and noise on well-being. About 6% of the total burden of disease can be accounted to influences of the natural environment on well-being. Part of the problem is the unawareness of people about these influences. In order to improve...master thesis 2018

van der Klauw, Roel (author)In telemanipulation commonly master and slave have dissimilar workspaces. Workspace extension methods can overcome this mismatch between master and slave. Literature proposes several workspace extension methods for translations such as scaling and indexing. However, for rotations it is unclear how workspace extension methods should be designed....master thesis 2017
