ABSTRACT
The Iron Horse combines modern technology with a childhood dream. It's a bike --- but its sounds like a horse. By biking at different speeds, one can get it to walk, trot or gallop. Sometimes it snorts, and it greets its owner and other iron horses with a neigh. In the project, we explored how to transfer the auditive expressions of horses into the art of cycling using computational technology, to stretch the boundaries of riding, cycling and interaction design. The technology should be an inspiration for the cyclist's fantasy; turning the playground into a jumping track, the way to school into a race, and the cycle path into a piece of the prairie

Gait determination and activity measurement in horses using an accelerometer
The observation of locomotor activity and resting behaviour is used to determine time budgets, which may give some indication for the assessment of horses' welfare concerning management and housing. As an alternative to time-consuming direct ...
Keep Running - AI Paintings of Horse Figure and Portrait
MM '20: Proceedings of the 28th ACM International Conference on Multimedia"Keep Running" is a collection of human and machine generated paintings using a generative adversarial network technology. The horse artworks are produced during the lockdown period in the Middle East due to the Covid-19. Many recent AI artworks are ...
Listen reader: an electronically augmented paper-based book
CHI '01: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWhile predictions abound that electronic books will supplant traditional paper-based books, many people bemoan the coming loss of the book as cultural artifact. In this project we deliberately keep the affordances of paper books while adding electronic ...
