IceBreakware : designing wearable technologies for spatial awareness and social interactions
… more physical interpersonal interactions and spatial awareness, by equipping them with additional modes of operation that force interpersonal interaction. We call this family of new interfaces IceBreakware. As a proof of concept, we present LeakyPhones, an instance of IceBreakware and a social …

Applications of Interactive Topographic Maps: Tangibility with Improved Spatial Awareness and Readability
… and compromise of the 3-dimensional (3D) spatial representation when it is folded into lower-dimension media (e.g. 2D). During the process, the x-y coordinate of a location can be captured but its physical elevation must be transformed using some visualization techniques, resulting in …

Application of avatars in display design to support spatial awareness under varying workload conditions
Human performance in spatial orientation tasks is mainly determined by spatial awareness and the skills to transition from the current spatial attitude into the desired spatial orientation and position. Erroneous spatial awareness may lead to degraded task performance, to the loss of equipment, to …

Application of avatars in display design to support spatial awareness in extreme flight situations
Human performance in spatial orientation tasks is mainly determined by spatial awareness and the skills to transition from the current spatial attitude into the desired spatial orientation and position. Erroneous spatial awareness may lead to degraded task performance, loss of equipment, serious …

The Effectiveness of Qualitative Spatial Representation in Supporting Spatial Awareness and Spatial Decision-Making
Qualitative Spatial Representation (QSR) provides a foundation for encoding knowledge about objects in space and the relationships between them using discrete intervals rather than scalable or measurable numeric representations. QSR is said to be easier for humans to grasp than quantitative …

An Examination of Working Memory, Spatial Awareness and Expertise in Athletes, Non-Athletes and Sports-Fans
… such as working memory (WM), attention, and spatial awareness, are more likely to become a barrier for proficiency than form or physical prowess. Nevertheless, the intricacies of the relationships that exist between these cognitive factors has gone relatively unexplored, particularly in the …

The Impact Of Mental Transformation Training Across Levels Of Automation On Spatial Awareness In Human-robot Interaction
One of the problems affecting robot operators' spatial awareness involves their ability to infer a robot's location based on the views from on-board cameras and other electro-optic systems. To understand the vehicle's location, operators typically need to translate images from a vehicle's camera …

Comparison of Augmented Reality Rearview and Radar Head-Up Displays for Increasing Spatial Awareness During Exoskeleton Operation
… workload on the user which may reduce situation awareness (SA) and increase risk of collision with pedestrians, negating the health and safety benefits of exoskeletons. Exoskeletons could be equipped with visual aids to improve SA, like rearview cameras or radar displays. However, research on …

Effects of altered sensory input from the neck on cerebellar function, body schema and sensorimotor integration
… processing, upper extremity function and spatial awareness in the absence of pain. The first study tested participants with SCNP using transcranial magnetic stimulation to activate the cerebellar-thalamic-cortical circuit and produce cerebellar inhibition (CBI). SCNP participants were …

Enhancing Situational Awareness Through Haptics Interaction In Virtual Environment Training Systmes
… This work focused on enhancing situation awareness (SA) within a training VE through appropriate use of multimodal cues. The Multimodal Optimization of Situation Awareness (MOSA) model was developed to identify theoretical benefits of various environmental and individual multimodal cues on …

The Stone and the Children's House
The architect operates in both physical and spatial media. When in the presence of architectural form, an observer exists within the volume defined by surface and within the context of constructive material. At once the presence of architecture is imbued through spatial awareness, texture, sound, …

Gender differences in mathematics performance. Analysis of attainment and attitudes in mathematics of girls and boys; detailed appraisal of theories and pressures that influence girls' underachievement and underparticipation in the subject.
… were found to be concerned with scale or ratio, spatial problems, space-time relationships and probability questions. Differences were found in performance between girls and boys at each ten-percentile level through the ability range. A longitudinal study also revealed differences in mathematics …
