3-Dimensional Quartic Bézier Curve Approximation Model By Using Neutrosophic Approach, Siti Nur Idara Rosli, Mohammad Izat Emir Zulkifly

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

In a 3-dimensional data collection process, there exists noise data that cannot be included to visualize the process. Therefore, it is difficult to deal with since fuzzy set and intuitionistic fuzzy set theories did not consider the indeterminacy problem. However, using a neutrosophic approach with three memberships: truth, false, and indeterminacy membership function, the error data will be treated as uncertain data by using the indeterminacy degree. Thus, this study will visualize the 3-dimensional quartic Bézier curve model by using neutrosophic set theory. To construct the model, the neutrosophic quartic control point must first be introduced to approximate the neutrosophic …

Exploring And Facilitating Daoism's Contributions To Design Prototype, A Case Study From A "More-Than-Human" Social Innovation Project: Hokkhi, Jixiang Jiang, Shu Zhang, Yizao Wu

IASDR Conference Series

In the face of the current environmental crises and the emergent debate over how we as a species should respond to it, local-context discussions, research, and practice are rapidly growing in a number of regions. Within the confines of the design community, there is an ever-growing view of these discussions as representing a culturally diverse perspective on design, as opposed to the current Western-centric design shaped by modernism and capitalist market economies, and as representing the emergence of an emerging design scene of pluriverse. This study extends the concept of the oyster reef conservation project referred to as "Hokkhi," produced …

How Students Perceive Lecturers' Gestures? An Exploration In Gesture-Meaning Matching Toward Embodied Pedagogical Agent Design, Lai Wei, Kenny K. N. Chow

IASDR Conference Series

Many studies have demonstrated that meaningful gestures, such as the iconic and the metaphoric, may considerably assist students’ comprehension and enhance their learning engagement. Additionally, virtual lecturers have positively influenced students' online learning experiences. Yet, there seems to be no concrete evidence of how students recognize these gestures. Investigating the comprehension of lecturers' natural gestures from the perspective of students has the potential to inform the creation of embodied gestural pedagogical agents (PA). This paper conducted empirical studies investigating how students recognized and interpreted lectures’ gestures in real-life design classes. By analysing four sets of paired cases, which consist of …

Preserving Theoretically-Grounded Functions Across Media Platforms In Interaction Design, Brian Sekelsky, Matthew Peterson, Cesar Delgado, Karen B. Chen

IASDR Conference Series

Designers often address the continuity of user experiences across various media platforms. Features are the focus of media development. But the media-dependency of features means that truly preserving the essence of one feature across media platforms, in a process of cross-media translation, can result in superficially dissimilar features. We describe function mapping as an aid in this translation, in which design features are derived from theoretical assertions, and in turn an understanding of underlying functions permits the translation of features to other media platforms. We demonstrate this in a case study of translation from a VR installation, to portable VR, …

A Layered Approach To Designing Public Health Communication Diagram For Improved Information Accessibility, Young Ae Hahn, Byoungkwan Oh, Inhye Hwang

IASDR Conference Series

Public health communication (PHC) material design requires information accessibility, consideration of the readers’ health literacy, prior knowledge levels, and the depth–length of information the reader can process without feeling too much cognitive burden. We proposed a layered approach to PHC diagram design: providing multi-layered (basic, extended) information, to support the reader’s cognitive activities of recognition and inference-making, while the basic layer reduces some readers’ cognitive loads. A qualitative test conducted with an example layered diagram of how COVID-19 vaccination works confirmed that (1) the college-educated readers in their 20s have an insufficient level of prior knowledge of vaccination and the …
