ABSTRACT
ForceField realizes the measurement of intermaterial contact forces across any surface within a room-scale environment without the need for additional device attachments to bodies or objects. It achieves this by acquiring a 3D model through a depth sensor and capturing ground pressure through a floor sensor, and then reconstructing contact forces between surfaces where no sensors are attached, such as when a hand pushes a desk, or people push against each other, from information on force and geometry. Through this unobtrusive environmental measurement approach, ForceField opens up the possibility of highly physical spatial interactions in domains such as healthcare, sports, and entertainment.

Contact sensing and interaction techniques for a distributed, multimodal floor display
3DUI '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Symposium on 3D User InterfacesThis paper presents a novel interface and set of techniques enabling users to interact via the feet with augmented floor surfaces. The interface consists of an array of instrumented floor tiles distributed over an area of several square meters. ...
Gait training assist system of a lower limb prosthetic visualizing muscle activation pattern using a color-depth sensor
2017 International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)Some unilateral lower-limb amputees load the intact limb more than the prosthetic limb. This can cause chronic pains, fatigue, lumbago, and joint diseases, including knee osteoarthritis. To avoid and counteract these symptoms it is necessary to improve ...
Pipeline for inferring protein function from dynamics using coarse-grained molecular mechanics forcefield
Dynamics is integral to the function of proteins, yet the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as a technique remains under-explored for molecular function inference. This is more important in the context of genomics projects where novel proteins ...
