mute robot cooperative gameplay through body language communication
Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2014Co-Authors: Yingchao Tung, Weihan Wang, Hanyu WangAbstract:Body language is an Expressive Form of communication that transcends language barriers, and can range from subtle to outrageous. We have designed Mute Robot, a game in which 2 players must cooperate to solve a series of puzzle challenges by communicating through body language only. Kinect devices are used to capture players' posture and movement, which are then shared between two partners who are playing at two different physical locations. Mute Robot is designed to connect people across the globe who otherwise would not be able to communicate via a common language. Our 16-person user study showed that body language is practical and entertaining, with 2/3 of the players reported that they could understand the other player's body language well.

Significance and Aesthetic Interest in "Simple Drawing"——Artistic Language and Artistic Expressive Form Used in Teaching Simple Drawing
Journal of Kunming University, 2011Co-Authors: Nong Mei-lanAbstract:Significance in "simple drawing" is a core factor in teaching artistic language and artistic Expressive Form of "simple drawing".The realization of significance in "simple drawing" not only lies in the lines of artistic language Form,the simple,vivid and smooth calligraphy,but also in the stylization of artistic Expressive Form,which in substance is the distillation of the insignia of artistic Expressive Form.There is a successively decreasing relationship between them,so significance and aesthetic interest in "simple drawing" can be promoted.

Symmetry between partially polarised light and partial polarisers in the vectorial Pauli algebraic Formalism
Journal of Modern Optics, 2011Co-Authors: Tiberiu TudorAbstract:The problem of the gain of dichroic devices is analysed in a framework based on a vectorial pure operatorial (non-matrix) Pauli algebraic approach to polarisation optics. We show that the partially polarised light and the partial polarisers can be described in this framework by absolutely similar, symmetric quantities. In this sense, a physically essential device parameter, the degree of dichroism, is defined. This symmetry between the description of the polarised light and of the polarisation devices leads to an Expressive Form of the generalised Malus' law, the consequences of which are analysed in detail. Most importantly, one can for the first time describe and graphically illustrate the generalised structure of the gain of a dichroic device.

choice without markets homeschooling in the context of private education
British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2005Co-Authors: Janice Aurini, Scott DaviesAbstract:Homeschooling is enjoying new‐found acceptance in North America. Drawing on a variety of secondary sources and our own data from Ontario, Canada, we find that homeschooling is growing steadily, and is becoming an increasingly legitimated Form of education. To understand these changes, we review prevailing sociological explanations that focus on the rise of neo‐liberal ideology, and pressures of class reproduction and human capital requirements. We document the contributions of these theories and note their limits for understanding the rising popularity of homeschooling. We then situate homeschooling within a broader context of private education, distinguishing segments that encourage market‐consumer, class reproduction, human capital and ‘Expressive’ logics. The combination of large investments of time and effort with highly uncertain outcomes makes homeschooling the most Expressive Form of private education, which we trace to the burgeoning culture of ‘intensive parenting.’
