A short excerpt from a performance featuring Erin, a dancer with the Melbourne Ballet Company, which demonstrates joint research by PhD candidate John McCormick, Dr. Kim Vincs and Prof. Saeid Nahavandi, using motion capture to assist in recognition, classification and defining key signatures within complex dance movement. The CISR Motion Capture Lab features a 12 camera IR-based high resolution motion capture system and an immersive 5m, 180 degree curved 3D visualisation system. www.deakin.edu.au

Penn Haptics and Robotics Demonstration

Penn Engineering students demonstrate state-of-the-art haptic human-computer and human-machine interfaces. The PR2 robot finds objects on a table via tactile scanning. A smart “seeing eye” cane alerts users to overhead and waist-high obstacles. Students demo a game of virtual catch with a virtual ball that you can feel in your hand.

Maple Systems HMI Programming 001 (EasyBuilder 500)

This is video demonstration #1 of programming the Maple Systems HMI504T using Maple System’s Easy Builder 500 software. This example includes an offline simulation of turning on a bit for use in PLC ladder logic programming.

Joystick Emulation using the DREAM Controller on the Microsoft Surface

Not satisfied with simply controlling 120 pound robots with a Microsoft Surface, one of the lead programmers from this video ( youtube.com and youtube.com ) took a week off and hacked together an amazing on-screen joystick driver for Windows and the Microsoft Surface. Eric McCann’s adaptation of the DREAM Controller is based on Mark Micire’s PhD research www.cs.uml.edu and can provide all of the functionality of a physical joystick through multi-touch interaction. By simply placing five fingers on the table, the joystick is dynamically re-sized and oriented to the user’s hands automatically on every hand placement. It can also be moved to any position of the screen by dragging the index and middle fingers. To demonstrate the functionality, this video shows the Microsoft Flight Simulator and Valve Corporation’s Portal controlled exclusively through hand interaction on the tabletop.
