Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteves, A., Scott, M., & Oakley, I. (2013, February). Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces. Presented at 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction - TEI '13

This paper argues that inherent support for offline activities -- activities that are not sensed by the system -- is one of strongest benefits of tangible interaction over more traditional interface paradigms. By conducting two studies with single an... Read More about Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces.

Physical games or digital games?: comparing support for mental projection in tangible and virtual representations of a problem-solving task (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Quantifying stress-induced anisotropy using inter-void constrictions (2013)
Journal Article
Shire, T., O'Sullivan, C., Barreto, D., & Gaudray, G. (2013). Quantifying stress-induced anisotropy using inter-void constrictions. Géotechnique, 63(1), 85-91. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.11.t.020

In particulate geomechanics it is common to quantify fabric anisotropy using contact and particle orientations. Measurement of void anisotropy is less common, most likely owing to the difficulties associated with defining individual voids. Here a Del...
