SMUG/SMUG II - self motion under varying gravity states

The perception of self-motion is a multi-modal process that is influenced by vision, endogenous stimuli and gravity. Specifically, the experiments will help us determine how effective visual cues are in different gravitational conditions (in microgravity, and under lunar and Martian conditions). Based on this, we will develop a model that maps how these gravitational conditions affect the process of optical flow to create the sensation of motion. In this context, we will also examine whether there are gender-specific differences in this perception. The results of our investigations should help to understand visual-vestibular interactions and thus significantly increase safety in all those situations that require movement in altered gravitational conditions (e.g. in space or on the Moon/Mars). At the same time, however, the results can also help to better understand the perception of proper motion on Earth. This applies in particular to clinical conditions in which navigation or gait are disturbed (e.g. in Parkinson's disease). The experiments will be conducted during parabolic flights. We plan to conduct two realted experiments during the weightlessness phases. Subjects will lie on the floor or sit in a chair (loosely attached to it for safety) and wear a Head Mounted Display (HMD). All our visual cues will be presented on the smartphone inside the HMD. In both experiments, participants see a simulated corridor. In the first experiment, a cue stimulus is presented within this corridor, at one of 17 simulated distances. After the cue is extinguished, participants are virtually moved down the corridor. Their task is to indicate when they have arrived at the position of the previously displayed target. In the second experiment, participants are first moved virtually down the corridor and then asked to adjust the distance of a virtual cue stimulus.

SelfOG

Aims The objective of the SelfOG project is a systematic analysis of the relative contributions of visual and gravity based information to the perception of orientation (where is up?). The perception of the perceptual upright (PU) varies in dependency of the weighting of different gravity and body based attributes, between contexts and depending on individual differences. Once we get a better understanding of this perception process, we will be able to develop mechanisms helping us to prevent accidents in special environments (like space or underwater) in the future. The same is true for the situation of elderly people, who sometimes suffer from lack of orientation which often leads to downfall.

SafetySim

Aims: In the field of electro-technical vocational training, in particular in the safety-related area of digital machine controls, appropriate training materials that help to convey a correct and safe planning of the installation and use of safety controls in prevailing industrial practice are absent. The SafetySim research project aims to bridge these open issues with machinery simulation for more realistic training experience in the area of Safety-PLCs applications (PLC: Programmable Logic Controller). This cooperative research project of the Institute of Visual Computing of the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (HBRS) and the Federal Institute for Professional Training (BIBB) with the support of industrial partners in teaching resources for vocational training, aims at development of machinery simulations and training applications to learn safety-relevant aspects in the operation of machines equipped with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the field of electrical engineering.

SimuBridge

The project objective is to develop a generic visual simulator of devices, systems and industrial plants, independent of a particular Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) vendor. This simulator platform will be part of an innovative learning concept for PLC programmers. The platform consists of a conventional PLC, a special I/O adapter, and a PC. The visual system simulator contains a PC software part that offers a number of training tasks with 3D visualisation. The system will have multi-lingual support for task descriptions and the user interface. Major focus areas in this project are realistic simulation of devices and their physical characteristics, realistic behaviour and reaction of the simulator on real control signals, as well as correct visual representation of real-time events and modulated signals with low latency. Special features, such as inducing simultaneous multiple failures and other malfunctions, have been recently integrated into the simulator. The simulation addresses the correct representation of high frequency input signals and how to adequately react to them. Funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) under the Central Innovation Programme for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (ZIM) grant No. KF2992401.

Fivis - Immersive Bicycle Simulator

Aims: The objective of the research project described here was to develop a bicycle simulator prototype to be used in road traffic education and road safety training, based on the Fivis bicycle simulator developed at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. The prototype had to be universally applicable for different age groups as well as for various applications. Activities/Methods: The following sub-tasks have been addressed: Design and implementation of potentially hazardous road traffic scenarios Conceptual design and construction of a mobile, yet immersive bicycle simulator Development and evaluation of a system for hand signal and shoulder check detection Development of an automatic scoring and user administration system Preparation of a first didactical concept to be used in school Results: The bicycle simulator Fivis developed at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences is based on flat LCD monitors and a modular frame system. It requires little space and can be built up quickly. This extends the bicycle simulator’s applicability, since the system can be mounted on a mobile platform (e. g. trailer). This allows the system to be deployed at various alternating locations. The simulation software has been extended during the project period. A sample detection system for typical mistakes, such as missing hand signals or disregarding the right of way, has been integrated into the simulator. Typical hazardous situations have been identified and implemented as scenarios within the simulator. In addition, a didactical concept for the use of the simulator at secondary school level has been developed. First evaluation studies with sixth graders indicate that the simulator is accepted as a reasonable means for traffic education. The question of whether the use of the mobile bicycle simulator will have the desired effect of reducing the bicycle accident rates can only be answered by conducting a long-term study. Results of first studies involving children of different age groups indicate that simulator training contributes to the handling of real hazardous situations in road traffic, as well as to increase of the overall attentiveness and alertness.

6-MIG

The objective of this research project is to develop a user-friendly and cost-effective interactive input device that allows intuitive and efficient manipulation of 3D objects (6 DoF) in virtual reality (VR) visualization environments with flat projections walls. During this project, it was planned to develop an extended version of a laser pointer with multiple laser beams arranged in specific patterns. Using stationary cameras observing projections of these patterns from behind the screens, it is planned to develop an algorithm for reconstruction of the emitter’s absolute position and orientation in space. Laser pointer concept is an intuitive way of interaction that would provide user with a familiar, mobile and efficient navigation though a 3D environment. In order to navigate in a 3D world, it is required to know the absolute position (x, y and z position) and orientation (roll, pitch and yaw angles) of the device, a total of 6 degrees of freedom (DoF). Ordinary laser-based pointers when captured on a flat surface with a video camera system and then processed, will only provide x and y coordinates effectively reducing available input to 2 DoF only. In order to overcome this problem, an additional set of multiple (invisible) laser pointers should be used in the pointing device. These laser pointers should be arranged in a way that the projection of their rays will form one fixed dot pattern when intersected with the flat surface of projection screens. Images of such a pattern will be captured via a real-time camera-based system and then processed using mathematical re-projection algorithms. This would allow the reconstruction of the full absolute 3D pose (6 DoF) of the input device. Additionally, multi-user or collaborative work should be supported by the system, would allow several users to interact with a virtual environment at the same time. Possibilities to port processing algorithms into embedded processors or FPGAs will be investigated during this project as well.

Usability in Work Safety

Investigation of the usability of protective devices of work equipment in commercial sectors Objectives of the project: The primary objective of this project is the development of methods and tools for interdisciplinary investigations of human computer interfaces for work safety applications within a usability laboratory environment. Special emphasis will be put on empirical research of design principles and the evaluation of the usability of protective equipment, of safety equipment and of work safety concepts of machines and installations. A first prototype of an interactive virtual visualisation environment in which usability tests of work safety applications will be evaluated, will be established based on the Immersion Square technology currently available at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. Developments for the detection and tracking of head position as well as gaze direction have to be performed in detail. Furthermore, the necessary technologies and the psychological principles of practical work safety applications have to be transferred. Methods and Activities: Firstly, a comprehensive investigation of the state of the art of sample applications in several member companies of the Accident Prevention and Insurance Association will be undertaken. This activity will be supported by an interdisciplinary workshop on the identification of both applicable principles of usability and industrial practical examples for work safety. A special modus operandi of this project will be its interdisciplinary approach. The technical realisation of the interactive virtual environment is inseparably connected to the development of usability methods applicable to work safety measures. In order to analyse reasons for accidents caused by human-machine interactions from the psychological perspective rather than just the technical view point, new methods and tools need to be developed in close cooperation with engineers and work psychologists. The selection and development of applicable usability methods is an essential part of this project and should be supported by a systematic study of psychological aspects. In this case technology should follow up the usability methods, not vice versa.
