Physical Sensation

From the perspective of sustainability, empowering people to live positively without being dominated by death is an important issue. One thing we can do in this vein is to expand one’s own physical sensation, which is the basis for us to live. From this point of view, Shusaku Arakawa and Madeline Gins’ idea of “landing sites” is very important. Landing sites are physical experiences that result from person–environment collaboration. In order to make as many people as possible aware of their physical sensations through landing sites, Arakawa and Gins created artificial environments such as “Site of Reversible Destiny Yoro” where people could gain new physical sensations. They wanted people to build new ethics and move toward social reformation based on their new physical sensations. However, at present, these artificial environments have some problems. It is the time to seriously consider how we can pass on the experience of landing sites to future generations. The aim of this paper is to provide an answer to the question by Yasuhiro Suzuki’s scientific research on tactile sense, called tactileology. I first introduce Arakawa and Gin’s text about the idea of “landing sites” and make clear its importance. Next, I point out that, now, “landing sites” present certain difficulties. I then confirm that tactileology inherits the idea of “landing sites”.

The understanding of the tactile perception mechanism implies the reproduction and measurement of friction forces and vibrations induced by the contact between the skin of human fingers and object surfaces. When a finger moves to scan the surface of an object, it activates the receptors located under the skin allowing the brain to identify surfaces and information about their properties. The information concerning the object surface is affected by the forces and vibrations induced by the friction between the skin and the rubbed object. The vibrations propagate in the finger skin and are converted into electric impulses sent to the brain by the mechanoreceptors. Because of the low amplitude of the induced vibrations, it results quite hard to reproduce the tactile surface scanning and measuring it without affecting measurements by external noise coming from the experimental test-bench. In fact the reproduction of the sliding contact between two surfaces implies the relative motion between them, which is obtained by appropriate mechanisms having a more or less complicated kinematics and including several sliding surfaces (bearings, sliders, etc.). It results quite difficult to distinguish between the vibrations coming from the reproduced sliding and the parasitic noise coming from the other sliding contact pairs. This paper presents the design and validation of a tribometer, named TRIBOTOUCH, allowing for reproducing and measuring friction forces and friction induced vibrations that are basilar for a clear understanding of the mechanisms of the tactile sense.

The purpose of college English teaching is to improve students' English ability in comprehensive hearing, speech, reading, writing and other aspects, and the key measure to improve language skills is to create a good English interaction circumstances for students. In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology and continuous development of teaching philosophy, the use of visual simulation technology to promote the issue of college English teaching gradually come into the people’s horizon. Visual simulation uses high-end computer technology to form an virtual environment integrated with the visual sense, auditory sense and tactile sense, which is widely used in research because of its good interaction and environment immersion. This article will analyze the theoretical basis of visual simulation technology in college English teaching, conduct a detailed analysis of its application value and explore the visual simulation technology application foreground in college English teaching.

Static Images

A acessibilidade na educação de pessoas cegas é um direito que deve ser cumprido. Levando-se em consideração que o design da informação almeja transmitir uma informação de forma efetiva ao receptor, e que uma imagem estática precisa ser adaptada para que um aluno cego tenha acesso a esse conteúdo visual, propõe-se uma maneira de traduzir a informação visual para o tátil. O propósito deste artigo, então, é apresentar um modelo para tradução de imagens estáticas bidimensionais em imagens táteis tridimensionais. Por isso, parte de uma breve revisão da literatura sobre cegueira, percepção tátil e imagens táteis. Na sequência, apresenta o modelo de tradução em três partes: (1) recomendações da literatura; (2) estrutura e (3) modelo preliminar para teste. Depois, descreve o teste do modelo realizado com dois designers com habilidades de modelagem digital (potenciais usuários). Como resultado dos testes, obtiveram-se duas modelagens distintas, uma utilizando da elevação e outra utilizando texturas, porém, os dois participantes realizaram com sucesso a tarefa pretendida. Ainda, a partir dos resultados dos obtidos, também, foi possível perceber falhas no modelo que necessitam ser ajustadas para as próximas etapas da pesquisa.+++++Accessibility in education of blind people is a right that must be fulfilled. Considering that information design aims to transmit an information in an effective way to the receiver, and that a static image needs to be adapted so that a blind student can have access to this visual content, it is proposed a way to translate the visual information to the tactile sense. The purpose of this paper is to present a translating model of static two-dimensional images into three-dimensional tactile images. First, it starts from a brief literature review aboutblindness, tactile perception and tactile images. Second, it presents the translating model in three sections: (1) literature recommendations; (2) structure and (3) finished model for testing. Then, it describes the tests with the model and two designers with digital modelling abilities (potential users). As a result from the tests, two distinct models were obtained, one using elevation and other using textures, although, both participants successfully made the intended task. Also from the test results, it was possible to perceive flaws on the model that need to be adjusted for the next steps of the research.

Abstract Objectives: This paper describes imaging and anatomical features, in order to assess the feasibility of superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator (SCIP) flap with a single-pedicle bilobed design for multi-digit skin and soft tissue reconstruction in pediatric patients.Methods: A total of 7 pediatric patients who were being treated with free single-pedicle bilobed SCIP flap reconstruction for multi-digit defects were included in this study. The details of the clinical features were collected, and the following were successively analyzed: the preoperative Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) and Color Doppler Sonography (CDS) examinations for flap design, the intraoperative anatomy for perforator vessel, defect reconstruction and interphalangeal range of motion (ROM) and tactile sense, pain sense and two-point discrimination recovery results.Results: CTA and CDS performed preoperatively could accurately and rapidly identify the position, location and course of the SCIP flap. All wounds healed by the first follow-up and no complications occurred at the follow-up visit. All flaps survived, the patients achieved proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) ranges of motions (ROM) from 80 to 100 degree and distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) ROM from 65 to 80 degree. The tactile sense and pain sense recovered, and average of the two-point discrimination scores was 9.3mm (range 7-12mm). The donor area was primarily sutured with good scar concealment in the underwear region.Conclusion: CTA and CDS performed preoperatively are accurate and intuitive methods for assessing the location and course of SCIP. The SCIP flap is highly suitable for pediatric patients due to its small caliber, specific functional and aesthetic benefits. It can be designed in a lobulated fashion in order to repair two or more wounds during one surgery. We suggest that the free single-pedicle bilobed SCIP flap should be considered an optimal choice for multi-digit defect reconstruction in pediatric patients in the clinic.
