    Beskrivelse

    In our talk we will present the non-traditional as our perspective on applying multimodal media technologies in human-centred applications that result in augmenting life-quality. Non-invasive 3D, linear and planar interface sensor technologies are used to source feedforward human kinetic data that is mapped to responsive computer generated feedback content. The feedback to source establishes an afferent-efferent neural loop closure that is iterative and motivates toward a targeted optimal participation (in line with S-R chains). The targeted optimal experience results in development of competence beyond the immediate and questions potentials of transfer. The interactive environments are adaptive and tailored to each user profile. Assessment issues will also be discussed.
    The applications focus upon two augmentative fields of users where increased demographics relate to societal concern as to their growth. The potentials in addressing these two segments of society as markets from a product production perspective will be discussed. Innovation in design and multi/inter-disciplinary issues towards entering these markets will be presented. Our individual research specialities will be illustrated under a synthesised model that features a body of research that began around twenty years ago combined with a new approach in educational science that addresses non-formal learning. This model is related in a recent PhD dissertation that is free to download. Gameplaying, interest, and expressed creativity are targeted as user experience. We outline the potentials for the next generation artists, educators and developers alongside future professionals in the related fields. The presentation will close with a speculative prediction to the implementation of Nano technologies as an interactive environment feedforward interface and feedback content delivery means.
