Towards Tangible AI: An Alternative to Enhance the Experience with Personalized Recommendation Systems KU Leuven
Artificial Intelligence (AI) supports many of our everyday activities and decisions. However, personalized recommender systems (PRS) often produce adverse experiences due to a lack of awareness, control, or transparency. While research has directed solutions using graphical user interfaces (GUIs), there are no explorations of an alternative way to interact with these systems to improve the experience with such systems. Consequently, embedded ...
re:tangent -Remote Tangible Engagements. KU Leuven
Social interactions between individuals are a substantial and important aspect of personal well-being and family cohesion. However, families are increasingly geographically separated, due to job requirements, international marriages, health issues, or political circumstances. While there is a substantial body of research on how to support remote social interactions by means of technology, they are mainly facilitating video-mediated ...

The Embodiment of Consolation: unlocking the interaction between mourning, drawing and space. KU Leuven
Recent bereavement studies are observing a growing divide between the existing ‘deathscapes’ (Maddrell & Sidaway 2010) and the transforming socio-cultural landscape of mourning within our secularizing western society. Memorial practices are moving away from the public domain towards the everyday and private environments of the bereaved, while the strive for closure is shifting towards a longing for continuing bonds with the deceased.
...Towards more Transparent Human-Data Interaction: Designing for Uncertainty in Digital Humanities Visualization KU Leuven
While the increased datafication of society brings about obvious benefits, it is also facing criticism for its treatment of data as an absolute, objective and raw representation of truth. To mitigate this critique, data visualisation research is developing effective ways to convey the uncertainty that underlies it.
Although data uncertainty is commonly associated with statistical dimensions such as modelling errors or forecasting ...

Phygital Heritage: Communicating Built Heritage Information through the Integration of Digital Technology into Physical Reality KU Leuven
Built heritage forms a unique asset by expressing the richness and diversity of our history, possessing vast amounts of information that varies from factual and explicit, to more tacit and embedded. Tacit knowledge of built heritage is typically more challenging to communicate to visitors in understandable and engaging ways due to its implicit and abstract character. Therefore, we investigate how built heritage information can be disclosed ...
Development of a platform for designing Tactile Interactive Intuitive Interfaces (TIII) Ghent University

Art objects conservation by non-thermal plasma generated atomic oxygen beam (PlasmArt) Ghent University
While unsustainable development increasingly threatens Europe’s cultural heritage (CH) assets, museums and conservators continue searching for green approaches and materials. In the preservation of tangible CH assets, carbon-based soiling is among the most significant deteriorations factors. Pollution, vandalism, smoke and fires can cause catastrophic carbon-based contamination to tangible CH assets, and cleaning is essential for their ...
