holistic and adaptive interface design for humantechnology interactions

common adaptive vehicle hmis implemented in todays cars have limited sensing and predictive capabilities because of this the risk is high to present information that is unsuitable for the current situation which results in low usability and increased risk of distracting the driver furthermore the exchange of information between driver and other road users is currently limited which often results in uncertain and unsafe situations driving automation only exacerbates the abovementioned problem external hmis are one attempt to address thisthe heidi project aims to develop a fluid cooperative hmi that integrates internal and external adaptive hmi solutions in a holistic manner this cooperative hmi effectively synchronises driver data and data from other road users to facilitate an optimal joint action between the actors following the foresight safety1 concept with this the heidi hmi solutions guarantee that all road users share the same understanding of the situation with a view to ensuring a safe interaction to realise this overall aim several technical innovation modules will be developed these new hmi solutions will be prototyped and validated in a multiuser simulation environment and in real vehicle prototypes for this purpose the heidi project brings together key industry and academic partners that provide a unique infrastructure for developing testing and validating the proposed hmi concepts such as the cosimulation environment provided by vti where pedestrians and drivers can interact in the same experiment in two interconnected simulators and the facilities provided by ruas where real vehicles can interact with real pedestrians in a safe environment additionally the heidi project will develop recommendations for regulation and standardisation guidelines to euroncap and to ieee especially focusing on external hmis as this area is still characterised by high uncertainty for manufacturers
interspecies politics in himalayan borderlands from the midnineteenth century to the present

climate change escalating geopolitical tensions and domestic civil unrest have multiplied the claims made on himalayan territories cohabited by animals and humans in the name of security conservation and development hence the study of humananimal conflicts has become a major area of focus for international nongovernmental organizations ingos like the world wildlife fund for nature wwf despite their efforts scholars point out that current approaches by ingos discount the interconnected nature of historical cultural and political dimensions of humananimal interactions which limits their ability to create sustainable and just solutions to the ongoing processes of political ecological and economic transitions for indigenous communities and their nonhuman cohabitants both in the himalaya as well as across the globeinterspecbord examines how interspecies politics historically shape the mobility and identities of human and animal bodies in south asian himalayan borderlands from the colonial period in the midnineteenth century to the present rather than approaching this subject from the perspective of the global south or global north this project will emphasise the role of circulation and the ways that different assemblages of ideas technologies people and animals move across space and how historical encounters between these assemblages both shape and are shaped by himalayan borderland places and ecologies against this historical background this project will investigate how human and nonhuman species coproduce new bordering practices which includes hybrid identities practices of social differentiation and novel ways of establishing control over borderland spaces methodologically interspecbord is an interdisciplinary project combining historical research inspired by postcolonial approaches with multispecies ethnography
moir patterns in twisted heterostructures of ultrathin metal halide perovskite nanosheets

the moir patterns in the twisted heterostructures of the layered semiconductors such as graphene transition metal dichalcogenides hbn etc have led to the emergence of novel exciting properties such as superconductivity ferroelectricity enhanced charge transfer at the interface of heterostructures etc despite being a highly desirable phenomenon in the vertical heterostructures of the layered materials moir patterns are yet to be explored in the metal halide perovskites the 2d layered and 3d metal halide perovskites have become one of the most explored classes of semiconductor materials owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties the twistpvsk project aims to generate twisted heterostructures using ultrathin nanosheets of 2d layered perovskites and ultrathin nanosheets of 3d perovskites the primary goal is to leverage the enhanced optoelectronic properties resulting from moir patterns for photodetection applications and establish the role of moir patterns in the generation of new properties in 2d and 3d metal halide perovskites the key objectives of this proposal are to i synthesize twisted heterostructures of ultrathin nanosheets of 2d layered perovskites study the moir exciton dynamics using ultrafast spectroscopy and explore the effect of twisting angle on photodetection efficiency ii chemically convert ultrathin 2d layered perovskites into 3d mabased perovskite nanosheets create twisted heterostructures of 3d perovskites investigate moire exciton dynamics and fabricate photodetectors based on these heterostructures twistpvsk is at the crossroads of chemistry physics and engineering therefore it will attract significant attention from different disciplines offer fresh insights into the behavior of metal halide perovskites and contribute to the development of next generation technologies
locative games for cultural heritage

locative games are in the process of entering the mainstream in cultural heritage they can improve access by offering alternative experiences and widening audiences they can aid in preservation by managing footfall and focusing digital assets and they can increase engagement and allow visitors to see their heritage in new ways however existing design approaches and infrastructures for locative heritage are bespoke and poorly integrated with existing visitor structures there is also a lack of guidelines on what is ethically desirable in these digitally mediated spaces and how designers might mitigate against unintended consequences or abuses this is a barrier to the widespread adoption of locative heritage applications and means that more complex experiences are currently not sustainable in the wider sector logaculture will change this by bringing together the leaders in digital locative games in collaboration with some of europes most significant cultural institutions to enable a new generation of locative cultural heritage games through proposals for design guidance validated ethical frameworks and an open extensible and reusable set of technologies through a set of five interlinked case studies across four countries the project will gather evidence from the heritage design space for interactivity narratives and play look at how augmented reality and soundscapes can affect visitors immersion explore the place of locative heritage in the wider visitor journey through transmedia and social visiting and explore how the barrier to authoring and deploying such systems might be lowered the goal is to create a step change in knowledge in how to design deploy and maintain locative heritage games and lay the groundwork for their mass adoption by cultural institutions by allowing them to treat locative experiences that offer new forms of access and engagement as an integrated part of their existing cultural heritage work
