  • Study of the pretreatment and disperse dyeing process for the PLA/cotton blended fabric: high Physical Resistance and dyeing performance.
    Advanced Materials Research (Durnten-Zurich Switzerland), 2013
    Co-Authors: Haofei Huang, Yuanyuan Qu, Zhongjun Fu, Yunfei Sun
    Abstract:

    In this paper, the optimal pretreatment and disperse dyeing process for the novel PLA/cotton blended fabric was studied. In the pretreatment stage, enzyme and H2O2 were applied to test their effect on the decrement-rate and bending length. After pretreatment, the PLA component of this fabric was dyed with three different disperse dyes and the effect of dyeing parameters including time, temp. and pH on the K/S value and tear strength were studied. Besides, DSC and SEM were also applied to analyze this pretreatment and dyeing process. The recommended pretreatment and disperse dyeing conditions were summarized. [on SciFinder(R)]

  • Enabling People with Visual Impairments to Navigate Virtual Reality with a Haptic and Auditory Cane Simulation
    Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems - CHI '18, 2018
    Co-Authors: Yuhang Zhao, Cynthia L. Bennett, Christian Holz, Meredith Ringel Morris, Edward Cutrell, Hrvoje Benko, Mike Sinclair
    Abstract:

    Traditional virtual reality (VR) mainly focuses on visual feedback, which is not accessible for people with visual impairments. We created Canetroller, a haptic cane controller that simulates white cane interactions, enabling people with visual impairments to navigate a virtual environment by transferring their cane skills into the virtual world. Canetroller provides three types of feedback: (1) Physical Resistance generated by a wearable programmable brake mechanism that Physically impedes the controller when the virtual cane comes in contact with a virtual object; (2) vibrotactile feedback that simulates the vibrations when a cane hits an object or touches and drags across various surfaces; and (3) spatial 3D auditory feedback simulating the sound of real-world cane interactions. We designed indoor and outdoor VR scenes to evaluate the effectiveness of our controller. Our study showed that Canetroller was a promising tool that enabled visually impaired participants to navigate different virtual spaces. We discuss potential applications supported by Canetroller ranging from entertainment to mobility training.
