Exploration is crucial in the design process and is known for its essential role in fostering creativity and enhancing design outcomes. Within design teams, exploration evolves into co-exploration, a collaborative and dynamic practice that…
Lately, there has been an increasing interest in hand gesture analysis systems. Recent works have employed pattern recognition techniques and have focused on the development of systems with more natural user interfaces. These systems may…
Previous research in human gesture recognition has largely overlooked multi-person interactions, which are crucial for understanding the social context of naturally occurring gestures. This limitation in existing datasets presents a…
Traditional wall-sized displays mostly only support side-by-side co-located collaboration, while transparent displays naturally support face-to-face interaction. Many previous works assume transparent displays support collaboration. Yet it…
The current multimodal turn in linguistic theory leaves a crucial question unanswered: what is the meaning of iconic gestures, and how does it compose with speech meaning? We argue for a separation of linguistic and visual levels of meaning…
We investigate the dynamics of student behaviors (posture, gesture, vocal register, visual focus) and the substance of their reasoning during collaborative work on inquiry-based physics tutorials. Scherr has characterized student activity…
Understanding dynamical facilitation in nonequilibrium glass-forming systems driven by active forces remains an open challenge. In particular, it is unclear whether facilitation survives in active glasses, where persistent self-propulsion…
Gestures are a natural form of communication between humans and can also be leveraged for human-robot interaction. This work presents a gesture-based user interface for object selection using pointing and click gestures. An experiment with…
Humans exhibit a wide range of adaptive and robust dynamic motion behavior that is yet unmatched by autonomous control systems. These capabilities are essential for real-time behavior generation in cluttered environments. Recent work…
Assuming that the ultimate purpose of the city is to provide support to human interaction and that opportunities to that social interaction are unevenly distributed across the urban fabric, this paper reports some attempts to describe such…
We present a unified framework for quantifying the similarity between representations through the lens of \textit{usable} information, offering a rigorous theoretical and empirical synthesis across three key dimensions. First, addressing…
Recognizing gestures in artworks can add a valuable dimension to art understanding and help to acknowledge the role of the sense of smell in cultural heritage. We propose a method to recognize smell gestures in historical artworks. We show…
Conversation is like an intricate partner dance and behavioral convergence, or the similarity in observable behaviors of partners over time, can lead to shared understanding, changed beliefs and increased rapport. This article describes a…
In this work we develop the mathematical framework of !FTL, a new gesture recognition algorithm and we prove its convergence. Such convergence suggests to adopt a notion of shape for smooth gestures as a complex valued function. However,…
Sharing a physical environment, such as that of a wall-display, facilitates gaining awareness of others' actions and intentions, thereby bringing benefits for collaboration. Previous studies have provided first insights on awareness in the…
Many creativity methods follow similar structures and principles. Design Patterns capture such invariants of proven good practices and discuss why, when and how creative thinking methods match various situations of collaboration. Moreover…
In this contribution we consider Collective Behaviours as coherent sequences of spatial configurations adopted by interacting agents through corresponding different structures over time. Multiple structures over time and their sequences are…
Previous gesture elicitation studies have found that user proposals are influenced by legacy bias which may inhibit users from proposing gestures that are most appropriate for an interaction. Increasing production during elicitation studies…
We conducted a study to systematically investigate the communication of complex dynamic processes along a two-dimensional design space, where the axes represent a representation's manifestation (physical or virtual) and operation (manual or…
This paper introduces a model of multi-unit organizations with either static structures, i.e., they are designed top-down following classical approaches to organizational design, or dynamic structures, i.e., the structures emerge over time…
