Kürti, Flóra (author)Touch deprivation, a largely unrecognized phenomenon that affects approximately 54% of people globally, has a significant negative impact on the well-being of these individuals. Having physical connections is a fundamental part of the human experience whether it is a warm hug from a loved one or a comforting pat on the shoulder. However,...master thesis 2023

van Leeuwen, Clint (author)The focus of this project was the research and development of an affective social touch wearable. AffectiveAir uses pneumatic actuation on the shoulder to convey a library of haptic sensations. The goal was to overcome physical limitations in potential digital communication contexts, by a non-verbal, tactile, and possibly intimate social touch...master thesis 2023

Pronk, Paco (author)This study introduces a novel system that leverages three photodiodes and ambient light to identify air-written characters on a resource-constrained device. Through experimentation, suitable methods of data preprocessing, machine learning and model compression were selected to recognize the first 10 characters of the Latin alphabet. The final...bachelor thesis 2023

Lancel, K.A. (author)Experience of touching and feeling touched is fundamental to human well-being, of safety and trust. Being in touch with others can be emotional and spiritual, it enables space for movement and transformation: to touch, kiss, play, dance, make love, tune and breath together.<br/><br/>Until recently, research into Human Computer Interaction has...doctoral thesis 2023

Halman, Susanna (author)This thesis presents the research to design a successful high-accuracy, sub-millimetric registration method for an autonomous robot equipped to drill bone for cochlear implant (CI) surgery. Its performance, and thus success, is measured in accuracy, workload, usability and trust. While state-of-the-art (STOTA) research lacks the inclusion of...master thesis 2023

Goedemondt, Koen (author)This thesis describes the design and implementation of µLightDigit, which is the second iteration of the LightDigit project: a contactless air-writing system based on ambient light detection with embedded deep learning using only simple photodiodes. The system is able to classify digits 0–9 written in the air by detecting the dynamic hand shadow...master thesis 2022

Jewitt, Carey (author), Price, Sara (author), Steimle, Jürgen (author), Huisman, G. (author), Golmohammadi, Lili (author), Pourjafarian, Narges (author), Frier, William (author), Howard, Thomas (author), Ipakchian Askari, Sima (author)The social and sensory aspects of touch are critical for human communication, yet the challenges of haptic technology development and a focus on the technological means that digital touch communication often fails to realise the potential and promise of touch. The Manifesto for Digital Social Touch in Crisis responds to this through a call to...journal article 2022

Huisman, G. (author)Research on mediated social touch (MST) has, either implicitly or explicitly, built on theoretical assumptions regarding social interactions that align with “theory theory” or “simulation theory” of social cognition. However, these approaches struggle to explain MST interactions that occur outside of a laboratory setting. I briefly discuss these...journal article 2022

Ipakchian Askari, Sima (author), Huisman, G. (author), Haans, Antal (author), IJsselsteijn, Wijnand A. (author)Affective haptic devices (AHDs) are communication technologies utilizing the sense of touch, and include mediated social touch (MST), symbolic haptic messaging, and awareness systems that, for example, let one feel another person's heartbeat. The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent social distancing measures have led to a reemphasis of the...journal article 2022

van Hattum, Martijn T. (author), Huisman, G. (author), Toet, Alexander (author), van Erp, Jan B.F. (author)In recent years, there has been a significant increase in research on mediated communication via social touch. Previous studies indicated that mediated social touch (MST) can induce similar positive outcomes to interpersonal touch. However, studies investigating the user experience of MST technology predominantly involve brief experiments...journal article 2022

Shan, Yi (author)The idea of the project is to make a series of small interventions that would engage with the local context and at the same time transport another cultural context to the place. The projects includes three interventions in a series of moments in experienceable approach , where each of them is embedded in a landscape and with a function for the...master thesis 2021

Willemet, L. (author), Kanzari, Khoubeib (author), Monnoyer, Jocelyn (author), Birznieks, Ingvars (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)Humans efficiently estimate the grip force necessary to lift a variety of objects, including slippery ones. The regulation of grip force starts with the initial contact and takes into account the surface properties, such as friction. This estimation of the frictional strength has been shown to depend critically on cutaneous information....journal article 2021

An, J. (author), Ra, Jong Hyun (author), Kang, E. (author), Pertijs, M.A.P. (author), Han, S.H. (author)This article presents a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for capacitive touch-screen panels (TSPs) employing an amplitude-modulated multiple-frequency excitation (AM-MFE) technique. To prevent charge overflow, which occurs periodically at the beat frequency of the excitation frequencies, the ROIC modulates the amplitude of the excitation...journal article 2021

Romaniuk, Filip (author)The master's thesis explores the possibilities of reusing abandoned post-industrial structures and objects of architectural heritage. Objects, which are usually difficult to renovate due to high costs and their poor physical condition, could be filled with new inflatable volumes and thus be filled with new space, function, and life. The work is...master thesis 2020
