  1. 1. Bodies in Smartwatches : Embodied Data and Augmented Experiences in Self-Tracking Runners

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper (KV)

    Author : Madelene Logren; [2023]
    Keywords : datafication; human-technology relations; postphenomenology; quantified self; self-tracking; smartwatches;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the relation between human and smartwatch by exploring the experiences of four Swedish long-distance runners who use digital technology to self-track their running activities. By examining the participating runners’ use of their smartwatches and smartwatch data as postphenomenological human-technology relations (Ihde, 1990), this thesis offers a perspective on the use of wearable self-tracking technology as augmenting human experience through digital data.

  3. 2. Trainable Region of Interest Prediction: Hard Attention Framework for Hardware-Efficient Event-Based Computer Vision Neural Networks on Neuromorphic Processors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Cina Arjmand; [2023]
    Keywords : Artifical Intelligence; Machine Learning; Neuromorphic Engineering; Computer Vision; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling of Corneal Surface - A Method for Reconstruction of Corneal Surface in a Wearable Eye Tracking Device

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Johanna Frost; [2022]
    Keywords : applied mathematics; modelling; optimization; regression; computer vision; tillämpad matematik; modellering; optimering; regression; datorseende;

    Abstract : We investigate a method for reconstructing the anterior corneal surface using wearable eye tracking devices. The presented method assumes that the four reflection points from two light sources viewed by two cameras lie on a locally spherical surface of a cornea. READ MORE

  5. 4. Zenth : An Affective Technology for Stress Relief

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)

    Author : Aleksandra Chayleva; [2022]
    Keywords : stress; mental health; affective computing; wearables; interactive technology; physiology;

    Abstract : This master's thesis presents a research-through-design process that explores how can affective, context-aware systems support mental health and minimize stress in young adults during exam periods. This is achieved by designing an interactive system for stress recognition and relief. READ MORE

  6. 5. Augmented Reality Contact Lenses: An Investigation of Technology Acceptance Drivers from a Potential User Perspective

    University essay from Jönköping University/Internationella Handelshögskolan

    Author : Korbinian Gmeinwieser; Nikolas Schock; [2020]
    Keywords : Augmented Reality Contact Lenses; Technology Acceptance; TAM; Smart Contact Lenses; Extended Reality;

    Abstract : Background: Augmented Reality (AR) could be the next revolutionary technology after the personal computer, the internet and the mobile era. While AR Smart Glasses are already on the market, AR Contact Lenses (ARCL) are still in the stage of research and development, but likely to replace the smartphone in the near future. READ MORE
