Designing the user experience of musical sonification in public and semi-public spaces

Sonification refers to sonic expression of data or information. It is often thought of as an auditory complement, providing additional information about data which can reveal patterns and facilitate interpretation and understanding of the data. Hence, the listening space created by a sonifi cation is always a hybrid where auditory augmentation complements other information modalities and, in some cases, also spatial qualities. In this work, we focus on sonifi cation in public and semi-public spaces, and specifi cally on musical sonifi cation – the use of musical sounds to create a sonic environment, augmenting or complementing a physical shared space. We draw upon established approaches in interaction design to focus our work on the user experience of musical sonifi cation in public and semi-public spaces. Specifi cally, we fi rst identify the experiential qualities of sonic atmosphere and performativity as important aspects of sonifi cation in public and semi-public spaces, then use those experiential qualities generatively in the speculative design of a musical sonifi cation sketch. The design sketch comprises a dynamic musical sonifi cation of air quality data, intending to give citizens an awareness and an enhanced individual and interpersonal understanding of air quality in their city.

Balancing the formal and the informal in user-centred design

Abstract This paper explores the role of formal methods as part of the user-centred design of interactive systems. An iterative process is described, developing prototypes incrementally, proving user-centred requirements while at the same time evaluating the prototypes that are executable forms of the developed models using ‘traditional’ techniques for user evaluation. A formal analysis complements user evaluations. This approach enriches user-centred design that typically focuses understanding on context and producing sketch designs. These sketches are often non-functional (e.g. paper) prototypes. They provide a means of exploring candidate design possibilities using techniques such as cooperative evaluation. This paper describes a further step in the process using formal analysis techniques. The use of formal methods provides a systematic approach to checking plausibility and consistency during early design stages, while at the same time enabling the generation of executable prototypes. The technique is illustrated through an example based on a pill dispenser.

AI-Based Topology Optimization of Freehand Sketches

In order to minimize the effort involved in conceptualizing lightweight designs, this paper presents a novel approach to topology optimization that helps designers to enhance their initial sketches for a lightweight structure. The presented tool can interpret photographs of design sketches and proposes optimized flows of forces. At the core of this tool is an artificial neural network being trained to generate structures matching the sketched load cases. The findings include an intuitive means of communication between designers and an artificial intelligence tool, ways for implementing the tool, and the appropriate means of structuring and training the neural network.

A revised Tesla Turbine concept for 2-phase applications

The Tesla turbine is an original expander working on the principle of torque transmission by wall shear stress. The principle – demonstrated for air expanders at lab scale has some attractive features when applied to two-phase expanders: it is suitable for handling limited flow rates (as is the case for machines in the range from 500W to 5 kW), it can be developed to a reasonable size (rotor of 0.1 to 0.25 m diameters), with acceptable rotational speeds (which range from 500 to 10000 rpm). The original concept was revisited, designing it for two-phase operation and considering not only the rotor configuration but the whole machine. The flow model was developed using complete real fluid assumptions including several new concepts such as bladed channels for the stator, labyrinth seals, and a rotating diffuser. Preliminary design sketches are presented, and results discussed and evaluated.

Intelligent Design of Product Forms Based on Design Cognitive Dynamics and a Cobweb Structure.

Design is a complex, iterative, and innovative process. By traditional methods, it is difficult for designers to have an integral priori design experience to fully explore a wide range of design solutions. Therefore, refined intelligent design has become an important trend in design research. More powerful design thinking is needed in intelligent design process. Combining cognitive dynamics and a cobweb structure, an intelligent design method is proposed to formalize the innovative design process. The excavation of the dynamic mechanism of the product evolution process during product development is necessary to predict next-generation multi-image product forms from a larger design space. First, different design thinking stimulates the information source and is obtained by analyzing the designers' thinking process when designing and mining the dynamic mechanism behind it. Based on the nonlinear cognitive cobweb process proposed by Francisco and a natural cobweb structure, the product image cognitive cobweb model (PICCM) is constructed. Then, natural cobweb predation behavior is simulated using a stimulus information source to impact the PICCM. This process uses genetic algorithms to obtain numerous offspring forms, and the PICCM's mechanical properties are the energy loss parameters in the impact information. Furthermore, feasible solutions are selected from intelligent design sketches by the product artificial form evaluation system based on designers' cognition, and a new product image cognitive cobweb system is reconstructed. Finally, a case study demonstrates the efficiency and feasibility of the proposed approach.

Tensor-Structured Sketching for Constrained Least Squares

Constrained least squares problems arise in many applications. Their memory and computation costs are expensive in practice involving high-dimensional input data. We employ the so-called "sketching" strategy to project the least squares problem onto a space of a much lower "sketching dimension" via a random sketching matrix. The key idea of sketching is to reduce the dimension of the problem as much as possible while maintaining the approximation accuracy. Tensor structure is often present in the data matrices of least squares, including linearized inverse problems and tensor decompositions. In this work, we utilize a general class of row-wise tensorized sub-Gaussian matrices as sketching matrices in constrained optimizations for the sketching design's compatibility with tensor structures. We provide theoretical guarantees on the sketching dimension in terms of error criterion and probability failure rate. In the context of unconstrained linear regressions, we obtain an optimal estimate for the sketching dimension. For optimization problems with general constraint sets, we show that the sketching dimension depends on a statistical complexity that characterizes the geometry of the underlying problems. Our theories are demonstrated in a few concrete examples, including unconstrained linear regression and sparse recovery problems.

A Combination Design of Bag, Chair, Charger, Tables Made with Hazardous Waste Raw Materials in Tackling Environmental Pollution in the 4.0 Revolution Era

The design of bags, chairs, chargers and tables is intended for commuter workers who carry out mobility activities every day. Design works that help to support commuter worker activities use a multi-functional system. The multi-function system is indicate by the shape and features attached. This product design method uses several stages including; 1) problem identification; 2) literature study: 3) design sketches, and: 4) design. The design results are turned into chairs, tables for lesehan (sitting on the floor) and bags. In addition, the other things are the storage box to store equipments for commuter workers while doing mobility and a solar cell which functions to capture sunlight which will be converted into electrical energy for energy sources to charge cellphones. Design works can be used in accordance with their respective functions. Design works carry the principle of multifunction, easy use, strong, lightweight and flexible. It is hoped that the design for this multi-functional products can be practical in use in the development of creative industries, and can overcome environmental pollution problems. From a theoretical perspective, it can be a reference for academics and science.

Lifting freehand concept sketches into 3D

We present the first algorithm capable of automatically lifting real-world, vector-format, industrial design sketches into 3D. Targeting real-world sketches raises numerous challenges due to inaccuracies, use of overdrawn strokes, and construction lines. In particular, while construction lines convey important 3D information, they add significant clutter and introduce multiple accidental 2D intersections. Our algorithm exploits the geometric cues provided by the construction lines and lifts them to 3D by computing their intended 3D intersections and depths. Once lifted to 3D, these lines provide valuable geometric constraints that we leverage to infer the 3D shape of other artist drawn strokes. The core challenge we address is inferring the 3D connectivity of construction and other lines from their 2D projections by separating 2D intersections into 3D intersections and accidental occlusions. We efficiently address this complex combinatorial problem using a dedicated search algorithm that leverages observations about designer drawing pREFERENCES, and uses those to explore only the most likely solutions of the 3D intersection detection problem. We demonstrate that our separator outputs are of comparable quality to human annotations, and that the 3D structures we recover enable a range of design editing and visualization applications, including novel view synthesis and 3D-aware scaling of the depicted shape.

From sketch BIM to design BIM: An element identification approach using Industry Foundation Classes and object recognition

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a promising technology for building lifecycle management. Currently, BIM has been extensively used in both the sketch design (sketch) and detailed design (design) stages. Due to different purposes and different BIM tools, the reusability of sketch BIM models in the design stage is still challenging. To address this issue, this study proposes a building element identification scheme using a segmentation-aggregation strategy, termed EI-SA. Since Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is the international standard of BIM, the EI-SA is built according to the IFC specification. Firstly, the element identification Problem is formally defined, followed by the overall framework of the EI-SA. Then, a presentation-level BIM segmentation algorithm is developed to divide a sketch BIM model into slices of geometric representations. Thirdly, a representation aggregation scheme is proposed to solve the element identification problem. The representation aggregation scheme employs a triangle-triangle intersection to detect the geometric connection and an object recognition algorithm to identify elements. Finally, experiments were conducted on several sketch BIM models. The experiment results showed that the EI-SA identified 82.22% elements on average, which verified the effectiveness of the EI-SA. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to solve the building element identification problem according to IFC. The proposed EI-SA will bridge the gap between sketch BIM models and design BIM models, smooth the reusability of data from the sketch stage to downstream stages, and improve the design efficiency by avoiding the re-designing of building elements.

Design process of Yonago Public Hall by T. Murano–Mori Architect Office: Reconstruction of formal manipulations through morphological analysis of design sketches and drawings

AbstractThe objectives of this study are to reconstruct the design process of the Yonago Public Hall (1958) by T. Murano–Mori Architect Office and to reveal the architects' formal manipulations conducted under strategic design thinking. The study materials are the original design sketches that are in the possession of the Museum and Archives, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Japan. Initially, the chronological order of the design sketches was established by inspecting their dates and analyzing their formal similarities. Furthermore, the transformability (variations or changes of architectural form presented in a certain state of design) of each “study” (subdivided partial process in design) was analyzed and interpreted. Finally, the architects' formal manipulations were reconstructed and presented, and relevant design intentions were revealed.

In general, each light-colored system takes into account the peculiarities of perception and revailingthe stop-territorial spaces. In the article, each light-colored system is generalized to the case of the light-colored object-space environment of the LCOSE-system The latter, in turn, is a subsystem of the universal LCOSUE-system, when at least one parameter (for example, sound) of the universal space of sensations of the “average” person is added to the consideration of color and light. LCOSE-analysis allows to trace and adjust the light-colored solution of an object in the general structure of the environment at an early stage of design. It can be used in any illumination of the object (with modeling of different weather conditions) and its light color solution. It also allows you tointroduce avariant light color design of the object, including stops.The variant design is possible due to the introduction of the direct and the reverse Fourier transformationsystems in the LCOSE-system.This reproduces the light-color harmonics of the object, which decomposes its light-colored solution into light-colored components. In short, the object "sticks" with light spots. These "spots" harmonize (or do not harmonize -depending on the task) with the light-colored spots of the environment. In our view, such light-colored projecting of an object (in particular, stops) with "light-colored spots" should begin in the early stages of sketch design. This method of designing the object with "light spots"reminds very muchthe method of architectural design, when the design process begins not from the object itself, but by considering the access paths to that object.
