“…(Kyberd, 2002;Huggins et al, 2003;Bayliss) The use of such technologies by artists is difficult due to obvious logical barriers such as cost and access to surgery. However, where possible, more challenging work by artists might seek to exploit more physically invasive sensor technology such as implants (Warwick, 2002;Warwick and Gasson, 2004; Direct Brain Interface Project) or assistive and prosthetic technologies (Poulton et al, 2002; Adaptive Technology Resource Center) but typically, this has extended so far only to the artist as a performer or exhibit where the audience are unable to participate directly. Artist Ansuman Biswas combines physiological sensors with video and the cultivation of states of being intended to affect the data gathered:…”

The paper presents a discussion on the logic of the necessity for investigation into the area of physiological computing and reviews empirical work by some of the authors. In particular, the paper discusses the reliability of information that can be inferred from certain biological sensor data and ways in which positive benefits can be ensured or measured relating to the use of the feedback that can result from its use. One important and emerging application area for physiological feedback in interactive computing is in interactive art systems. In some respects, this application has been making strong progress for the particular reason that the interactive experience itself, rather than more abstract and problematic information handling, is at the core. Another interesting aspect of the applications in art is that they provide informal experimental investigations into these new forms of human-computer interaction, and artists are already devising new applications and interfaces for physiological information. The paper describes an art work employing physiological feedback, including a discussion of how it was built and of the participating audience reactions when exhibited. q

Accelerometers can be used to augment the control of powered prosthetic arms. They can detect the orientation of the joint and limb, and the controller can correct for the amount of torque required to move the limb. They can also be used to create a platform, with a fixed orientation relative to gravity for the object held in the hand. This paper describes three applications for this technology, in a powered wrist and powered arm. By adding sensors to the arm making these data available to the controller, the input from the user can be made simpler. The operator will not need to correct for changes in orientation of their body as they move. Two examples of the correction for orientation against gravity are described and an example of the system designed for use by a patient. The controller for all examples is a distributed set of microcontrollers, one node for each joint, linked with the control area network bus. The clinical arm uses a version of the Southampton adaptive manipulation scheme to control the arm and hand. In this control form, the user gives simpler input commands and leaves the detailed control of the arm to the controller.

“…The ToMPAW consortium brought together engineers from three major prosthetic research projects in Europe: Sven Hand [4], Edinburgh Arm [12], and Southampton Hand [18]. The ToMPAW consortium built on their experiences and expertise to create a modular arm that was the first prosthesis in the field to use a bus-based, microprocessorcontroller architecture [19]. A design concept developed for a two-DOF prosthetic wrist using a differential mechanism that took up as little forearm space as possible was among the outcomes of the ToMPAW Project.…”

Abstract-Prosthetic wrists need to be compact. By minimizing space requirements, a wrist unit can be made for people with long residual limbs. This prosthetic wrist uses two motors arranged across the arm within the envelope of the hand. The drive is transmitted by a differential so that it produces wrist flexion and extension, pronation and supination, or a combination of both. As a case study, it was controlled by a single-prosthesis user with pattern recognition of the myoelectric signals from the forearm. The result is a compact, two-degree-of-freedom prosthetic wrist that has the potential to improve the functionality of any prosthetic hand by creating a hand orientation that more closely matches grasp requirements.
