The mail goal is focus on on the mobility of the fingers along with the rotation of the wrist included.
Each flexion, extension, adduction movement is a combination of movements involving not only bones but also muscles and tendons
If we make an unnatural movement, it can have repercussions in a short or long term injury. Measuring when and how the...
Smart gloves have been under development during the last 40 years to support human-computer interaction based on hand and finger movement. Despite the many devoted efforts and the multiple advances in related areas, these devices have not become mainstream yet. Nevertheless, during recent years, new devices with improved features have appeared, bei...
My name is Iván and the title of my research is Management of VR/MR/AR technology for training in manual skills.

The resources are mainly the gloves but I also will use 360º camera in combination with headset 3D.
And in terms of constributions I am totally sure t...
Nowadays the data that is collected from the LMS (Learning Management System) is increasing every second. This large amount of data is collected to extract the behaviour of the students, as well as to learn first-hand which topics that they find most attractive or those that are more difficult for them. However, there is still almost 75% of actual...
Open education is a reality and day by day it is gaining more followers among the scientific community and all researchers. Several steps have already been taken to universalize the right to quality education, but they are not enough and this universalization must be extended to secondary education.

Where could you find Numbers and Reports focus on Depression?
Dear research community,
In order to make the best with a focus on Depression, I tried to be aware about the different resources around Mental Health disorders.
I would like to know about updated reports in this issue not only in Europe but also if there is some other oficial reports or web observatories of this topic.
Thanks in advance.
Nowadays, we hear in most news the fantastics features of IA, for example chatGPT and the different alternatives to create images and solve common tasks.
However, we have a really worried challenge in terms of mental health. The different kinds of disorders appear more and more in the different targets and different ages for many reasons.
With this question I would like to get some tips of possible solutions to part or most of the problem to solve. I mean, different real solutions to help health staff and patients with the difficulties of their common day.
Our team is pretty sure that the smart speakers could be a solution for natural conversation with this big group of people. The natural interaction combined with the monitoring of specific language patterns would bring a first step of identification of mental disorders.
- What do you think?
and more important.
- What other projects or solutions do you know?
Many thanks in advance.
Most of journalism people use different kind of tools in order to publish their news with a innovative way. They want to increase the impact and they try to give the news a moderm access. In fact, nowadays there are some really disruptive tools, and web services that helps in that path to achive this goal. Could you help to build this list of innovative and disruptive tools?
I am aware of some of them but mainly I am using H5P. It is a open source tool. I mainly use it on the Educational field. But why not in the journalism.
In fact, i have in mind some innmersive scenarios really usefull to implement with this tool.
Please, give your feedback in order to help this journalims community! And of course, if you feel that this interactive narrative tools or services could help in another areas, don't hesitate to add your comments.
Best regards
What about the manual skills?
There are a lot of electronic devices, which help us to adapt to the computer interface but, what about the human interface?
In many case the computer interface are not suitable to the human interface. For this reason, many controllers such as the keyboard, mouse and other game controllers have a long journey in our lifes. They are part of our life as an extension of our own body.
Do you know any other systems that let human to interact with the electronic devices with more freedom? And, what kind of problems are there in these different systems or methods?
For example I could mention Voice Recognition, Image Recognition, Gestural Recognition, Brain Interpretation Sensors, but for sure there are a lot.
What kind of projects, research lines do you know are focus nowadays to improve the human interface but with real adaptation to the human body?
For example, what about the manual skills? Why not to use all the skills of our hand as a magician makes? The illusionist, spend a lot of hours training their hands as essential part of their tricks. Then, why not give another chance to the hands to change the way to interact with the electronic devices?
The COVID period is being a really hard moment for the nurses, doctors as the first barrier to fight agains this horrorific situation. But it is being also a really mental problem for all the human species.
In some way, I was thinking about a solution to mitigate that. For example, avoiding to touch is some of the rules to expand the virus and get contagious.
Therefore, clothing or accessories such as gloves can play a key role.
I suggest in this case the Smart Gloves, and you??
Hi everyone!
As you know around the World we are suffering a new boom in e-LEE (e-learning educational enviroments). Perhasp, it is the way to say to the educational community that this kind of resources and services are crucial for improving educational contents and methodologies.
For this reason, in a big effort to make aware the educational community, I would like to establish a first point to talk about this important service LA (Learning Analytics).
Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to add here whatever course or tool who is related with Learning Analytics, as a first step to share with all kind of educational levels an aproach to involve who is interested in this service to take advantage of their benefits.
