Evaluation of collision avoidance prototype head-up display interface for older drivers
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., Papanastasiou, S., Mackenzie, L., & Arafat, S. (2011, July). Evaluation of collision avoidance prototype head-up display interface for older drivers. Presented at HCI International 2011, Orlando, FL, USA

Spatial and situational awareness could be decreased significantly under low visibility and adverse weather conditions. This could affect exponentially the reactions of the older drivers and increase dramatically their collision probability. To this...

Interface development for early notification warning system: full windshield head-up display case study
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charissis, V., Papanastasiou, S., & Vlachos, G. (2009, July). Interface development for early notification warning system: full windshield head-up display case study. Presented at HCI International 2009, San Diego, CA, USA

This paper elaborates on the development of a prototype Head-Up Display (HUD) system designed to offer crucial navigation information to the driver, under adverse weather conditions. In particular the paper presents the implementation process and eva... Read More about Interface development for early notification warning system: full windshield head-up display case study.

Design and implementation of augmented reality environment for complex anatomy training: inguinal canal case study
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sakellariou, S., Ward, B. M., Charissis, V., Chanock, D., & Anderson, P. (2009, July). Design and implementation of augmented reality environment for complex anatomy training: inguinal canal case study. Presented at VMR 2009, San Diego, CA USA

Adhering to contemporary requirements for reduction of cadaveric training of medical trainees we have developed a prototype augmented reality environment which investigates complex anatomical sections. A human 3D model has been implemented in order t... Read More about Design and implementation of augmented reality environment for complex anatomy training: inguinal canal case study.

T/ensor/~ (version 0.3) is a prototype of a dynamic performance system developed in MAX that involves adaptive digital signal processing modules and generative processes towards exploring the field and performance-practice of human-machine improvisat... Read More about T/ensor/~ 0.3.

Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maclean, D. (2017, January). Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity. Paper presented at Power and Identity: A cross disciplinary conference, University of Tokyo, Japan

This paper examines the interplay between filmmakers and Scottish Highland communities in constructing an idealised identity that frames subjects within their landscape. It will also consider the appropriation of oral memories as visual texts, and t... Read More about Memory and Identity: Filmmakers and ‘natives’ collusion towards constructed identity.

The Activist Filmmaker in the Archive
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Scott, A., & Munro, E. (2022, October). The Activist Filmmaker in the Archive. Paper presented at FIAT/IFTA International Federation of Television Archives, Cape Town, South Africa

This paper examines how a non-professional, environmental campaign film On Site, Torness (29 mins 1979) gained a new life as part of the feature documentary Living Proof: a climate story (90 mins 2021). We will explore how activist films provide an a... Read More about The Activist Filmmaker in the Archive.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alder, E. (2022, July). Time and the Terrors of the Shoreline in Dunsany and Wells. Paper presented at Gothic Interruptions: 16th Biennial Conference of the International Gothic Association, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

The shoreline is a popular stage for the end of the world in fin-de-siècle fiction – it is upon a shore that H. G. Wells’s Time Traveller witnesses the final remnant of animal life, William Hope Hodgson’s Recluse discovers the meaning of eternity, an...

Creatures of Moonshine: H. G. Wells’s ‘The Sea Raiders’ and the Oceanic Romance
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alder, E. (2022, April). Creatures of Moonshine: H. G. Wells’s ‘The Sea Raiders’ and the Oceanic Romance. Paper presented at BSLS 2022 Annual Conference, Manchester

There is a strand of nineteenth-century fiction interested in tentacled monsters based to a greater or lesser extent on cephalopods. Although the legendary kraken remained a legend, biology had learned a little about the real existence of giant squid... Read More about Creatures of Moonshine: H. G. Wells’s ‘The Sea Raiders’ and the Oceanic Romance.

Mould ships and fungal islands: mycology, ecoGothic and William Hope Hodgson’s ‘doubtful beings’
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alder, E. (2018, July). Mould ships and fungal islands: mycology, ecoGothic and William Hope Hodgson’s ‘doubtful beings’. Paper presented at 14th Conference of the IGA 'Gothic Hybridities', Manchester Metropolitan University

For most of the long nineteenth century, the apparently hybrid biological workings and the unstable taxonomical status of moulds and fungi puzzled and fascinated scientists. Their ubiquity, plasticity, and position in what Ernst Haeckel termed a ‘bou... Read More about Mould ships and fungal islands: mycology, ecoGothic and William Hope Hodgson’s ‘doubtful beings’.
