Design of a dynamic acoustic control solution for private or public spaces
Providencia, B; Vieira, DanielThis work proposes the design of an acoustic system for noise control and attenuation. The system was conceptualized, developed, and patented, with a focus on the acoustic panel industry. Specifically, it is a product composed of modular hexagonal units. Each module, when tensioned, forms an independent acoustic funnel capable of controlling sound reflection and absorption in indoor environments. The module con...
Development of fencing apparel: Integration of inertial measurement unit sensor...
Carvalho, Helder; Providencia, B; Vieira, DanielThis study explores the proposal of a smart fencing garment that integrates inertial measurement units (IMUs) to accurately monitor athletes’ movements. A real-time capture of intricate three-dimensional movements was achieved using the Rokoko Smartsuit Pro™, which is equipped with 19 IMUs. Among the exercises conducted, particular emphasis was placed on analyzing correct and incorrect right arm adduction techn...

Smart textile products in the field of sport: a new framework
Vieira, Daniel; Providencia, B; Carvalho, HelderThis work proposes a new model for e-textile clothing design for designers, engineers, and programmers. Through the application of the Double Diamond and User-Centered Design models in the design of smart clothing for cycling and fencing, it was possible to develop a new model that combines both processes. This model emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the theme, fosters a dialogue between disciplines, h...

What times should be used for fNIRS and EEG protocol?
Ribeiro, Iara Margolis; Silva, Rute Alexandra Domingues; Fernandez, Diego Pinal; Costa, Nélson Bruno Martins Marques da; Providencia, BfNIRS (Functional near-infrared spectroscopy) and EEG (Electroencephalogram) are two technologies that measure brain activity. Recently expanded to new fields, such as Design. These technologies are beginning to be applied simultaneously in the laboratory or in real life, as they allow researchers to collect distinct data - electrical activity in the form of brain waves and the concentration of oxygenated and d...
Design of a smart garment for fencing: measuring attractiveness using the Attra...
Vieira, Daniel; Providencia, B; Carvalho, HelderIn this study, a new hypothesis for the design of a smart fencing garment, developed through a user-centred design process, is presented and a pre-evaluation of the design by applying the AttrakDiff Mini method is proposed. With the Portuguese Fencing Federation’s support, a survey was shared with the 37 affiliated weapons rooms. It was possible to validate 36 participations, 54.1% men (n = 20) and 45.9% women ...
Design methodologies for sustainable products from mixed waste plastics and fou...
Vieira, Daniel; Castro, Fernando; Carvalho, Helder; Providencia, BThis design research proposes, through cooperation between the private sector (industry) and the public sector (university), new furniture and cladding solutions to integrate the urban environment. It seeks to raise awareness on the reuse of industrial waste originating from mixed plastics and foundry sands, promoting collection, valorisation, and transformation. It potentiates sustainable advances that allow c...
