The Evolution of Integrated Haptic User Interfaces (IHUIs): Bringing Immersive Experiences in Training and Industry

In the realm of immersive technologies, Integrated Haptic User Interfaces (IHUIs) stand as a testament to the convergence of tactile feedback systems and user interface design, reshaping the landscape of training simulations and industrial applications. IHUIs represent a groundbreaking leap in the way we interact with and perceive virtual environments, offering a seamless integration of Read more about The Evolution of Integrated Haptic User Interfaces (IHUIs): Bringing Immersive Experiences in Training and Industry[…]

Teaching the computer to teach

Intelligent tutoring systems have been shown to be effective in helping to teach certain subjects, such as algebra or grammar, but creating these computerized systems is difficult and laborious. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown they can rapidly build them by, in effect, teaching the computer to teach. Using a new method that Read more about Teaching the computer to teach[…]

Self-folding materials are quicker and cheaper to produce than solid 3-D objects

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have used an inexpensive 3-D printer to produce flat plastic items that, when heated, fold themselves into predetermined shapes, such as a rose, a boat or even a bunny. Lining Yao, assistant professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and director of the Morphing Matter Lab, said these self-folding plastic objects Read more about Self-folding materials are quicker and cheaper to produce than solid 3-D objects[…]
