  1. 1. Spatiotemporal Selves on a Location-Based Social Network : A Postphenomenological Autoethnography of Snap Map

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Adam Särnell; [2023]
    Keywords : postphenomenology; autoethnography; spatiotemporality; performativity; location-based social networks; postfenomenologi; autoetnografi; spatiotemporalitet; performativitet; platsbaserade sociala nätverk;

    Abstract : The location-based social network (LBSN) Snapchat allows millions of users to share their locations to others through Snap Map: a digital map that updates their position each time they open the app. While social science studies have explored sentiments, behaviors and norms among Snap Map users, there is limited research on this type of location-based social network in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI), indicating a need for expanding the understanding of the roles that this technology and its design play in shaping the experiences and interactions among users.

  2. 2. Isocyanates formation from thermal degradation of polyurethane foam during welding of district heating pipes

    University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

    Author : Muhammad Akram; [2023]
    Keywords : Polyurethane; Isocyanates; District Heating Pipes; Oxy-fuel Welding; Manual Metal Arc Welding;

    Abstract : Polyurethane insulation foam, which is used as insulation on district heating steel and copper pipes, is made from polymerisation of polyol and diisocyanates monomers. Installation of new district heating pipes or replacement of old pipes involves masses of welding activities. READ MORE

  3. 3. 2D or not 2D: Assessing environmental awareness and cognitive load in mixed reality data visualizations : Visualizing gas leak data visualizations for an industrial surveying setting

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Schwuchow; [2023]
    Keywords : environmental awareness; cognitive load; information visualization; mixed reality; sustainable HCI; miljomedvetenhet; kognitiv belastning; informationsvisualisering; mixad ¨ verklighet; hallbar MDI;

    Abstract : Increasing the environmental awareness of invisible data, such as a city’s air pollution or a household’s energy consumption, has been an ongoing information visualization challenge that has entered the fields of immersive technologies like augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR). In order to understand how form and dimensional affect this understanding for MR environments, this research investigated what the difference between statistical, iconographic 2D and physical 3D visualizations is with regards to minimizing cognitive load and fostering environmental awareness.

  4. 4. The impact of an anthropomorphic robot’s facial expressions on L2 learning outcomes and motivation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Sara Danielsson; Emil Hammarberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Robot assisted language learning; RALL; human-robot interaction; HRI; non-verbal immediacy; NVI; Robotassisterad språkinlärning; människa-robotinteraktion; MDI; icke-verbal kommunikation;

    Abstract : In a regular classroom setting, a more emotionally expressive teacher has been shown to be positively correlated with learning outcomes and task motivation among the students. Would this also be the case if the teacher were a robot? This study investigates how the facial expressions of an anthropomorphic robot affect learning outcomes and task motivation in adult learners studying a second language by setting up an experiment using the Furhat robot.
