Haptic guidance for the hand can offer an alternative to visual or audio feedback when those
information channels are overloaded or inaccessible due to environmental factors, vision …

Efficient asset maintenance is key for delivering services such as transport. Current rail
maintenance processes have been mostly reactive with a recent shift towards exploring …

In this work, we propose a novel method for hand guidance, combining gras** metaphor
and wearable haptics. To guide the hand towards the desired orientation, the system …

Maintaining computer security in an organization requires navigating a thorny landscape of
adversaries, devices, and systems. As organizations grow more complex, integrating remote …

Control centers in large-scale events entail heterogeneous combinations of off-the-shelf and
proprietary systems built into ordinary rooms, and in this respect they place themselves in an …

Despite recent work on information systems, many first responders in emergency situations
are unable to develop sufficient understanding of the situation to enable them to make good …

A practice-based research approach is based on case studies which are shaped by the
particularity of the individual field of application as well as by the specific design (research) …

Technological advances in wearable and integrated sensing devices have witnessed an
