Using The Microsoft Kinect To Assess Human Bimanual Coordination, Joshua James Liddy
Using The Microsoft Kinect To Assess Human Bimanual Coordination, Joshua James Liddy
Open Access Theses
Optical marker-based systems are the gold-standard for capturing three-dimensional (3D) human kinematics. However, these systems have various drawbacks including time consuming marker placement, soft tissue movement artifact, and are prohibitively expensive and non-portable. The Microsoft Kinect is an inexpensive, portable, depth camera that can be used to capture 3D human movement kinematics. Numerous investigations have assessed the Kinect's ability to capture postural control and gait, but to date, no study has evaluated it's capabilities for measuring spatiotemporal coordination. In order to investigate human coordination and coordination stability with the Kinect, a well-studied bimanual coordination paradigm (Kelso, 1984, Kelso; Scholz, & …

Wilderness As A Social Movement: Expanding Cultural Relevance In The 21st Century, Dylan Lang
Wilderness As A Social Movement: Expanding Cultural Relevance In The 21st Century, Dylan Lang
Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
This year is the 50th anniversary of two monumental pieces of legislation: the Wilderness Act and the Civil Rights Act. Though these two laws exist within different arenas of public affairs, both have had significant effects on American society.
The Wilderness Act was signed into law in 1964 with almost unanimous support, at a time when American society overwhelmingly supported its passage. Since 1964, wilderness has been criticized as an elitist ideal representing a small interest group in the United States. As our country becomes increasingly diverse, and public lands protection loses popular support, making wilderness more relevant to …
