TIPA Opensource Project: Thermal Imaging-based Physiological and Affective computing toolkit
Mobile thermal imaging has created a new pathway to physiological measurements and affect recognition [1]. It enables contactless, simultaneous measurements of multiple vital signs and affective states. This can benefit healthcare, fitness sectors and specific user groups; for example, people…
UCL Grand Challenges: Developing Solutions
Authors: UCL Grand Challenges Team and Dr Youngjun Cho (GDI Hub & UCL Interaction Centre) The Global Disability Innovation Hub is challenging assumptions about disability and the design of assistive technology. The GDI Hub takes an inclusive approach that draws…
Assessing mental workload and accessibility issues in VR/AR applications for people with disability
Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) have great potential as a technological intervention for disabled people [1-3]. However, most human factor research into VR/AR does not consider people with disabilities. In this project, we consider the accessibility challenges (e.g.…
Non-contact Physiological Measurement
As humans are homeothermic, our internal temperature is closely linked with numerous physiological and psychological mechanisms. Given this, human thermal patterns have been explored to improve the understandings of our body for a couple of centuries (Cho, 2019). Researchers have…
