Wearable Technology & Breast cancer survivors’ needs
prostheses, bras, and lymphedema sleeves Ok, so maybe there’s a difference in what I thought this was about. The trouble is this word: Wearable. Also, right away I did think maybe wearable products would be more like Fitbits or something. Closer, but not quite right. When I think of wearable technology, the products above don’t…

Body Schema 2
A great project I feel like is not divorced from a great research question. And the question dictates the scope. So there is this push and pull. Is there a people group that benefits from technology altering their body schema? What about amputees or people with brain damage? The brain seems to do a good…

Body Schema
Today I’d like to read something about: – Are there people who would benefit from having their body schema altered by technology? And, are there reasons enough to make this technology wearable. ( This kind of technology seems inherently wearable since it must be on the body all the time. )– What kind of experiments…

Haptics and sense of weight / Gravity Grabber
I’m interested in learning more about how people perceive weight and motion through haptics. Can you feel the weight of virtual anatomy? wearable devices to simulate the weight of virtual objects using skin stretch. 29, 41 the deformation on fingerpads makes a reliable weight sensation even when the proprioceptive sensation is absent Is this so…

Understanding Fitness Tracker Users’ Security and Privacy Knowledge…
Personal data collected by fitness trackers can leave users open to security and privacy threats, often without their knowledge. I think less of the Fibit that logged 5 mins of vigorous sex, shared it with your friends, and gave you a badge, and more about the running routes of military personnel. People seem to think…

Apple Watch Privacy, 1
Monday morning, readings for a wearable technology class. Sounds like people are having days where the only time their heart rate spikes is during masturbation? If people are concerned about data collected during sex, they should consider the microphone too. Or that little place in the Apple Watches memory that’s always recording to listen for…

Algebraic Semiotics
I’m not sure how I separate out Grad School reading and personal reading. I file the pomodoros differently. I’m thinking about the meaning someone might extract from a situation or interface. user interfaces are representations, and their quality is determined by what they preserve. Not sure I’m onboard. Let me wait and see to the…

Geometry, Statistics, Probability: Variations on a Common Theme
geometry seems to be the natural way to emphasize the unity of the fundamental ideas. I can verify visualizations are very helpful, not sure if that’s the same as all of geometry, but I think that’s where we’ll end up at the end of this. there are not really that many formulas; there are however…

Meta analysis of beauty magazines
Sometimes I’m curious if anyone charts the kind of things that go on in a culture. I’m curious if we can look at messages and break them down into their DNA. I expect garments to be riding the wave of these messages and also reinforcing these messages, as a kind of “relay”. no longer a…

Conceptual Physics
Today I have some lecture material to review and also I have some curiosity toward magnetism, some 4th grade myths, shorthand ways of teaching magnetism that still exist in my brain that I’d like to get to the bottom of. Elasticity Materials that do not resume their original shape after being deformed are said to…
