Di Cicco, F. (author)This thesis explores convincing stuff depicted in 17th century paintings, with the primary aim of understanding their visual perception. ”Stuff” is the term first introduced by Edward Adelson in 2001 to differentiate materials from objects, and to call attention on the research gap in material perception. In an interesting parallel, the...doctoral thesis 2021

Grottoli, M. (author)Driving simulators have been extensively used over the last decades and technological advancements have propelled their development for cars, trucks and other vehicles with four (or more) wheels. This dissertation focuses on the use of driving simulators for two wheeled vehicles and in particular on the development and evaluation of a motorcycle...doctoral thesis 2021

Zawierucha, M. (author), Ribeiro Monteiro, Luciana (author), Schermer, W. (author), Vink, P. (author)In fact, the aircraft interior is rather safe with respect to viral safety. However, the perception of passengers is different. Passengers might be afraid of catching the COVID-19 virus or another virus while traveling. <br/>This study shows that especially the phase of eating without a facemask and the phase of disembarking with passengers...journal article 2021

Tissen, L.N.M. (author)This article uses the COVID –19 crisis to re –evaluate the importance of reproductions – 3D prints – for art’s authenticity, and their significance in keeping art museums meaningful in a rapidly changing world. The fixation on ‘auratic experiences’, inherent to artworks’ materiality is integral to contemporary art theory and museum practice,...journal article 2021

Malik, Umair (author), Tissen, L.N.M. (author), Vermeeren, A.P.O.S. (author)3D digitization of cultural heritage has long been used to preserve information about cultural heritage (CH) objects such as architecture, art, and artifacts. 3D dissemination of CH objects through technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and 3D printing have impacted the fields of art history and cultural heritage and have...journal article 2021

Shvarts, Anna (author), van Helden, G. (author)Educational technologies develop quickly. Which functions of face-to-face education can be substituted by technology for distance learning? One of the risks of online education is the lack of embodied interactions. We investigate what embodied interactive technologies might offer for teaching trigonometry when learning at a distance. In a...journal article 2021

Crevels, Eric (author)This essay aims to show that in many of the theories that fundament material culture and architectural experience, labor is implied in the constitution of material and, although seldom directly addressed, it is a determining dimension of materiality. From the Vitruvian and Renaissance treatises and Gottfried Semper to John Ruskin and the Art and...conference paper 2021

Di Cicco, F. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)Food appearance sets intentions and expectations. When designing packaged food much attention is devoted to packaging elements like color and shape, but less to the characteristics of the images used. To our awareness, no study has yet investigated how the appearance of the food shown on the package affects consumers’ preferences. Often, orange...journal article 2021

Vos, J. (author), Farah, H. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Operating speeds in Dutch freeway curves differ often by 20 km/h compared to their design speeds. Operating speed is thought to be influenced by how drivers perceive curves when approaching a curve. This explorative research explores which curve cues and other variables influence drivers’ speed choice in curves. For this purpose, a survey was...journal article 2021

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Edel, Ellen (author), Happee, R. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Percepts of verticality are thought to be constructed as a weighted average of multisensory inputs, but the observed weights differ considerably between studies. In the present study, we evaluate whether this can be explained by differences in how visual, somatosensory and proprioceptive cues contribute to representations of the Head In Space ...journal article 2021

Wu, H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Straub, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Prefabrication has the potential to improve the efficiency and sustainability of housing production. However, there are various challenges in the realization of prefabricated housing (PH) from the stakeholder's perspective. Transaction costs (TCs) theory provides a particular angle that explains the invisible costs within transactions. This...journal article 2021

Vardar, Y. (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Electrovibration holds great potential for creating vivid and realistic haptic sensations on touchscreens. Ideally, a designer should be able to control what users feel independent of the number of fingers they use, the movements they make, and how hard they press. We sought to understand the perception and physics of such interactions by...journal article 2021

Individual motion perception parameters and motion sickness frequency sensitivity in fore-aft motionIrmak, T. (author), de Winkel, K.N. (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author), Happee, R. (author)Previous literature suggests a relationship between individual characteristics of motion perception and the peak frequency of motion sickness sensitivity. Here, we used well-established paradigms to relate motion perception and motion sickness on an individual level. We recruited 23 participants to complete a two-part experiment. In the first...journal article 2021

Bahnam, Stavrow (author), Pfeiffer, S.U. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Current existing stereo visual odometry algorithms are computationally too expensive for robots with restricted resources. Executing these algorithms on such robots leads to a low frame rate and unacceptable decay in accuracy. We modify S-MSCKF, one of the most computationally efficient stereo Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) algorithm, to improve...conference paper 2021

Mazhar, O. (author), Babuska, R. (author), Kober, J.

Single-modal strategies are insufficient when the sensor fails to acquire information due to malfunction or its design limitations. Multi-sensor configurations are known to provide redundancy...journal article 2021

Pfeiffer, S.U. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)We present a computationally efficient moving horizon estimator that allows for real-time localization using Ultra-Wideband measurements on small quadrotors. The estimator uses only a single iteration of a simple gradient descent method to optimize the state estimate based on past measurements, while using random sample consensus to reject...journal article 2021

Di Cicco, F. (author), van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)Dutch 17th century painters were masters in depicting materials and their properties in a convincing way. Here, we studied the perception of the material signatures and key image features of different depicted fabrics, like satin and velvet. We also tested whether the perception of fabrics depicted in paintings related to local or global cues,...journal article 2021
