Understanding and Designing Avatar Biosignal Visualizations for Social Virtual Reality EntertainmentLee, Sueyoon (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Visualizing biosignals can be important for social Virtual Reality (VR), where avatar non-verbal cues are missing. While several biosignal representations exist, designing effective visualizations and understanding user perceptions within social VR entertainment remains unclear. We adopt a mixed-methods approach to design biosignals for...conference paper 2022

Singh, Shirish (author), Ibrahim, Mohammed Ali (author), Pawar, Sumeet (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Although faecal sludge (FS) co-compost contains vital nutrients, there are several barriers limiting adoption and reuse of FS co-compost in agriculture. This study in Bhubaneswar found that health risk and bad odour were the two topmost negative perceptions of FS co-compost reuse. The main factors influencing farmers’ negative perceptions of...journal article 2022

Maghsoudi Nia, E. (author), Qian, QK (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Buildings are the main sector in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Retrofitting of existing building has been identified as one of the significant strategies for reducing the impacts of buildings on energy and environment. However, recent studies have shown that low energy buildings mostly do not perform as expected. These differences are...journal article 2022

Pandey, Pankaj (author), Sharma, Gulshan (author), Miyapuram, Krishna P. (author), Subramanian, Ramanathan (author), Lomas, J.D. (author)Naturalistic music typically contains repetitive musical patterns that are present throughout the song. These patterns form a signature, enabling effortless song recognition. We investigate whether neural responses corresponding to these repetitive patterns also serve as a signature, enabling recognition of later song segments on learning...conference paper 2022

Rijlaarsdam, D.D.W. (author), Zwick, Martin (author), Kuiper, J.M. (author)Pose estimation in robotics is often achieved using images from known and purposefully applied markers or fiducials taken by a monocular camera. This low-cost system architecture can provide accurate and precise pose estimation measurements. However, to prevent the restriction of robotic movement and occlusions of features, the fiducial markers...journal article 2022

Di Cicco, F. (author)Dutch Golden Age painters could convincingly depict all sorts of materials. How did they do it and how do we perceive them as such, are questions that only recently have started to be addressed by art historians and vision scientists, respectively. This paper aims to discuss how a booklet of pictorial recipes written by the Dutch painter...journal article 2022

van Zuijlen, M.J.P. (author)The world around us is filled with materials. Our ability of visual material perception informs us how to navigate and interact with our environment. It tells us, for example, whether food is fresh, if a chair is strong enough to sit on, how much force to use to pick up a glass, etc. Painters have studied how to depict the world and the...doctoral thesis 2021
