Learning Binary Search Trees through Serious Games based on Analogies
(ACM, 2020)Data structures and algorithms are core topics in Computer Science, and they are essential for the development of efficient software. However, data structures and algorithmic concepts are abstract and difficult to relate ... -
Jack B. Yeats AR and other Art Music
(National Concert Hall, Ireland, 2022) -
Who am I that Acts? The Use of Voice in Virtual Reality Narratives
(Springer, 2021)Self-identification is a key factor for the immersion of the VR interactive narrative player. Diegetic non-protagonist narrators, touched-up heterodiegetic narrations with internal focalization, and casting the player in ... -
Virtual Reality Interactive Narratives in Transmedia Cultural Heritage Experiences
(Maastricht University, Netherlands, 2021)While tangible cultural heritage is physically bound to a space and time, intangible cultural heritage may be undressed of its meaning if separated from the tangible cultural space where it originates (Bouchenaki, 2003). ... -
The Complexity of Uncertainty: Towards Interactive Digital Narratives of Prehistoric Intangible Cultural Heritage
(Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest, Hungary, 2021)The interdisciplinary endeavor of the Interactive Narrative Design for COmplexity Representations (INDCOR) project to define the role of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) ‘as a means to address complexity as a societal ... -
Consciousness and Blended Reality: The Alice Dali Augmented Reality Experience
(Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC), 2022)The relationship between perception and reality has always been central in debates on consciousness. Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR, AR) technologies can blur these boundaries and raise new questions and offer new ... -
Beyond free will: Understanding approaches to agency and their suitability for Bandersnatch-like titles
(2022)When Bandersnatch (2018) was released on Netflix, interactive storytelling became accessible to a mainstream audience on a new scale. While this interactive film lets audiences make binary choices, the influence they ... -
Joint development recovery on resumption of embryonic movement following paralysis
(2021)Fetal activity in utero is a normal part of pregnancy and reduced or absent movement can lead to long-term skeletal defects, such as Fetal Akinesia Deformation Sequence, joint dysplasia and arthrogryposis. A variety of ... -
Mechanical Stimulation via Muscle Activity is Necessary for the Maturation of Tendon Multiscale Mechanics during Embryonic Development
(2021)During embryonic development, tendons transform into a hypocellular tissue with robust tensile load-bearing capabilities. Previous work suggests that this mechanical transformation is due to increases in collagen fibril ... -
A Lens to the Past: Using Site-Specific Augmented Reality for Historical Interpretation
(Springer, 2022)This demo paper presents a locative, site-specific, augmented-reality game for a WW1 historical site. The work constitutes the preliminary results of a research collaboration between two universities, one museum and a ... -
Psychogeography with Jack B. Yeats Art Sounding Gallery: Augmented Reality Locative Experience for Blind People
(AHFE (2022) International Conference, 2022)Sensory Substitution Devices (SSDs) are a relatively novel concept, based on the idea of the multisensory brain. Research on synaesthesia and sensory pairings has revealed that sensory modalities of the brain are ... -
Abnormal fetal muscle forces result in defects in spinal curvature and alterations in vertebral segmentation and shape
(2017)The incidence of congenital spine deformities, including congenital scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis, may be influenced by the in utero mechanical environment, and particularly by fetal movements at critical time-points. ... -
Techniques for Studying Mechanobiology
(Elsivier, 2018)Lying at the intersection between engineering and biology, mechanobiology is a nascent field of study that investigates adaptation of the structure and behavior of tissues in response to mechanical loading. While mechanobiology ... -
Short-term foetal immobility temporally and progressively affects chick spinal curvature and anatomy and rib development
(2019)Congenital spine deformities may be influenced by movements in utero, but the effects of foetal immobility on spine and rib development remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to determine (1) critical time-periods ... -
Effects of abnormal muscle forces on prenatal joint morphogenesis in mice
(2019)Fetal movements are essential for normal development of the human skeleton. When fetal movements are reduced or restricted, infants are at higher risk of developmental dysplasia of the hip and arthrogryposis (multiple joint ... -
Investigating the mechanistic basis of biomechanical input controlling skeletal development: exploring the interplay with Wnt signalling at the joint
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2018)Embryo movement is essential to the formation of a functional skeleton. Using mouse and chick models, we previously showed that mechanical forces influence gene regulation and tissue patterning, particularly at developing ... -
Quantifying the tolerance of chick hip joint development to temporary paralysis and the potential for recovery
(2021)Background: Abnormal fetal movements are implicated in joint pathologies such as arthrogryposis and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Experimentally induced paralysis disrupts joint cavitation and morphogenesis ... -
Consensus for experimental design in electromyography (CEDE) project: Terminology matrix
(2021)Consensus on the definition of common terms in electromyography (EMG) research promotes consistency in the EMG literature and facilitates the integration of research across the field. This paper presents a matrix developed ... -
Biopolymer based soil treatment for geotechnical engineering applications
(Springer, Singapore, 2023)Biopolymers (natural polymers) are exuded by micro- and macro-organisms (bacteria, plants, etc.) and have been shown to affect the geotechnical engineering behavior and properties of different soil types for low dosage ...
