This paper discusses the possibilities of exploring new ways of expressing emotions with wearable technologies. In the paper, the terms 'wearable technologies' and 'wearables' are used to refer to garments and accessories that have embedded smart technologies with the ability to connect to an electronic network and the ability to create customisable, dynamic and interactive responses. People mostly communicate their emotions by observable bodily reactions such as facial expressions, gestures, and body movements. Visual expression of emotion can be augmented by adding artificial visual responses to the physiological visual responses of the body with garments and accessories. Wearable technologies define a new experience of clothing with the possibility to create interactively changing appearances. The dynamic visual compositions defined by the user, and provided by the computational processes, can enhance the abilities of the user for the expression of emotions.

An innovative way of understanding learning processes: Eye tracking Dogusoy, Berrin; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2009-07-24) This paper aims to present findings on the use of eye-tracking technology as a new approach from an educational perspective. The studies in this paper on relationship between learning and eye-movements have focused on concept-map formation, learning from multimedia materials, designing materials with different cognitive strategies, multimodal comprehension of language and graphics with and without annotation, computer games and cognitive style effects of computer based interfaces and hypertext environment. ...
Towards an on-line neural conditioning model for mobile robots Şahin, Erol (2001-01-01) This paper presents a neural conditioning model for on-line learning of behaviors on mobile robots. The model is based on Grossberg's neural model of conditioning as recently implemented by Chang and Gaudiano. It attempts to tackle some of the limitations of the original model by (1) using a temporal difference of the reinforcement to drive learning, (2) adding eligibility trace mechanisms to dissociate behavior generation from learning, (3) automatically categorizing sensor readings and (4) bootstrapping t...
Modelling long term user experience for mobile phones Karapars, Gülhis Zeynep; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Department of Industrial Design (2013) This study presents an exploration into evolution of user experience in the long-term use of smartphones. The research methodology was comprised of two phases. In the first phase, a qualitative longitudinal study was conducted with 21 first-time users of smartphones for a duration of three months. Users were interviewed in the first, second and third months of their usage and telephone questionnaires were made in between the interviews. The analysis was made with Grounded Theory method. The evolving stages ...
Sensitivity improvement strategies and applications for flexible and wearable capacitive pressure sensors Çiçek, Melih Ögeday; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Çınar, Simge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-8) Pressure sensors have attracted great interest in parallel with developments in wearable electronics, robotics, human-machine interface devices, and electronic skin. In this field, capacitive pressure sensors are gaining increasing research attention due to their high sensitivity, high stability, fast response/recovery times, and simple manufacturing routes. While capacitive pressure sensors have prominent features, there is still a long way to go before they become more common in wearable technology. Incre...
An Innovative Design Education Approach: Computational Design Teaching for Architecture Çolakoğlu, Birgül ; Yazar, Tuğrul (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007-6-01) This paper describes an innovative design education approach developed to explore new intellectual and theoretical directions of design generation. It utilizes algorithms as a tool for introducing the concept of design computing to graduate students of architecture. The graduate course titled “Designing the Design” is thus developed. The aim of the course is to introduce to the students of architecture the computational design thinking and the new emerging language and method of designing. Examples from the...
