Interactive Installations for Spatial Access to Artistic Sketchbooks
Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Creative Technologies - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
A book is a book – or is it? With present-day, a ordable technology, we can scale a book to become a spatial object, or even a space in itself, of almost arbitrary size. We describe our design of and experiences with a generic interactive installation, called Viskbook, that provides a convincing illusion of oversize books, allowing the spectator to turn over the pages using natural and intuitive gestures. It provides a new media for exhibiting books in museums and elsewhere. It can be used for vulnerable and irreplaceable unique books, that otherwise would remain in the safe-box, and for books that may have no non-virtual counterpart and which may go beyond what we normally expect from a book. Viskbook has been used successfully for displaying historical sketchbooks, integrated in thematic art exhibitions, and for experimental books based on our own artistic material selected. An important conclusion is that oversizing a book, in addition to an enhanced visibility, creates a novel and spatial experience of the book.

A Mathematical Model of Game Refinement and Its Applications to Sports Games
This paper explores a mathematical model of game progress. We claim that a realistic model of the game progress during the in-game period is not linear but exponential. The second derivative value, i.e., acceleration in...
Gamifying Navigation in Location-Based Applications
Location-based games entertain players usually by interactions at points of interest (POIs). Navigation between POIs often involve the use of either a physical or digital map, not taking advantage of the opportunity avai...
Beating-Time Gestures Imitation Learning for Humanoid Robots
Beating-time gestures are movement patterns of the hand swaying along with music, thereby indicating accented musical pulses. The spatiotemporal configuration of these patterns makes it diÿcult to analyse and model them....
