The affordance-based concept
… the theory relies on the notion of perceived affordances: structured units of interaction that can be used for prediction at certain levels of abstraction. By using perceived affordances as a basis for language understanding, the theory accounts for many aspects of the situated nature of human …

Friction as affordance for flourishing
… user frictions often eliminates critical affordances for human flourishing - including opportunities for autonomy, agency, creativity and awareness. Through systematic observation and analysis, the research identifies three categories of expe- riential friction in architecture: physical, …

Remote robotic manipulation task execution using affordance primitives
… doors or elevators). This work introduces affordance primitives as the instantaneous spatial and force profile for contact tasks, and uses them to improve robotic manipulation of articulated objects. Affordance primitives may be used as virtual fixtures during real-time teleoperated …

Modeling Memes: A Memetic View of Affordance Learning
… who could simulate social learning of Gibson affordances. The PMFServ agent based model was used to examine two scenarios: a simulation to test for potential memes inside the Stanford Prison Experiment and a simulation of pro-US and anti-US meme competition within the fictional Hamariyah Iraqi …

Make it Mine, Technology's affordance for self-expression
Personal electronic media devices have evolved from being purposed-based articles into objects of projection; they are now existential embodiments of self. Today, for Generation Y, significance is not found solely in an object's design but rather in the malleability the platform affords. The …

Toward Affordance-Based Generation for 3D Generative AI
… from replicating specific objects to generating affordances. We trained models that allow users to create point clouds that satisfy physical properties called affordances, which are properties that describe how an object should behave in the real world. By ensuring that the generated objects have …

Affordance-based control of a variable-autonomy telerobot
Most robot platforms operate in one of two modes: full autonomy, usually in the lab; or low-level teleoperation, usually in the field. Full autonomy is currently realizable only in narrow domains of robotics-like mapping an environment. Tedious teleoperation/joystick control is typical in military …

Plastic modes of listening: affordance in constructed sound environments
… The main areas has been the notion of affordance as coined by James J. Gibson (1986), listening modes as coined by Pierre Schaeffer (1966) and further developed by Michel Chion (1994), aural architects as coined by Blesser and Salter (2007) and the holistic approach towards …

Posture Affects Affordance Perception of Reachability in Virtual Reality
… egocentric distances. Participants made affordance judgements while in a standard stance condition as well as two separate active balance conditions (yoga tree pose, and toe-to-heel pose). Feedback on accuracy was not provided, and participants were not allowed to attempt to reach. …

An affordance-inspired tool for automated web page labeling and classification
Writing programs that are capable of completing complex tasks on web pages is difficult due to the inconsistent nature of the pages themselves. While there exist best practices for developing naming schemes for page elements, these schemes are not strictly enforced, making it difficult to develop a …

The New Generation of Recommendation Agents (RAs 2.0): An Affordance Perspective
… consumer responses to AI-driven RAs using an affordance perspective. Notably, this research is the first in the IS discourse to link RA design artifacts, RA affordances, RA outcomes, and user continuance. It examines how actualized RA affordances influence user engagements with and evaluations …

Identifying the limits of an integrated training environment using human abilities and affordance theory
… anchored in systems engineering principles, affordance theory, and human abilities, to measure the potential of integrated training environments (ITEs) to effectively support training. Empirical investigation of ITEs is costly, lacks formal guidance, and is therefore often unreliable. Ad hoc …

I make, therefore I am: Agency, action, affordance, and the path to creative identity
… and the emerging theory of circuits of creative affordance is found to be a useful means for considering creative identities. Three research questions are developed: How do the internal and external affordances to creativity influence an individual maker’s evolution toward seeing him or herself …

Um estudo comportamental das possíveis interações ente os efeitos stroop e affordance e suas implicações
… mãos de acordo com a orientação da asa – efeito Affordance. Nossos resultados indicaram que o efeito Affordance interagiu com o conflito de resposta Stroop, pois ambos ocorrem em nível de seleção/execução da resposta. Ademais, confirmamos que apenas a caneca com asa inteira induziu uma …

Fighting the odds to make it even: Mapping an affordance ecosystem in a kindergarten community
… have provided multiple opportunities and affordances for adults to realise their aspirations. Bourdieu’s logic of practice thinking tools and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory are intertwined to theorise about the contribution of macrosystem ideologies that position communities as …

Role of Visual Affordance of a Spatial Layout on Human Interactions at a Work Environment
… main research question is: How does the visual affordance of the spatial layout of a work environment influence the way employees interact? It was addressed quantitatively by means of quasi-experimental design and a cross-sectional survey design. A social interaction was selected as the unit of …

FlexiGesture : a sensor-rich real-time adaptive gesture and affordance learning platform for electronic music control
… from input gesture to output sound, their input affordances being tied to the physics of their sound-production mechanism. More recently, the advent of digital sound synthesizers and electronic music controllers has abolished the tight coupling between input gesture and resultant sound, making an …
