Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Acur, N., Lynn, A., Jagadeesan, A., Smith, M., & Agrawal, A. (2014). Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland. International Journal of Social Science & Human Behavior Study, 1(3), 47-52

Various surveys mentioned that the commercial benefits of Internet crowdsourcing are reaped largely by people located in metro areas and smaller cities. The impact of crowdsourcing on the rural population is questionable. The aim of this research is... Read More about Social Implications of Crowdsourcing in Rural Scotland.

Towards crowdsourcing spatial manufacturing tasks from rural India (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Jagadeeshan, A., Lynn, A., Acur Bakir, N., Smith, M., & Agrawal, A. (2014). Towards crowdsourcing spatial manufacturing tasks from rural India. In F. Rehman, N. Woodfine, & R. Marasini (Eds.), Advance in Manufacturing Technology

Many tasks involving production software that involve spatial reasoning can only produce "good" rather than optimum solutions. It is frequently possible for humans to improve on algorithmically generated solutions computed by CAD/CAM software. The th...

Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walls, S., Corney, J., & Vasantha, G. (2014). Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers. In F. Rehman, N. Woodfine, & R. Marasini (Eds.), Advance in Manufacturing Technology XXVIII: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Manufacturi

The potential of low cost, 3D printing to support distributed manufacture in remote, rural communities has been noted by several observers. However the economic practicality of such proposals has not yet been clearly established and although some ove... Read More about Relative energy consumption of low-cost 3D printers.

Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vasantha, G., Corney, J., Prakash Ramesh, H., Mouli Sugavanam, C., & Chakrabarti, A. (2014). Usage of gestures along with other interaction modes in collaborative design. In F. Rehman, N. Woodfine, & R. Marasini (Eds.), Advance in Manufacturing Technology

Currently many computer-aided multi-modal interaction tools are under development, and some have demonstrated their applications in design. To avoid disruptive transformation from current design tools to multi-modal designing, there is a need for sev...
