MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL: A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occur...
Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

LoRaquatica: Studying Range and Location Estimation using LoRa and IoT in Aquat...
Radeta, Marko; Ribeiro, Miguel; Vasconcelos, Dinarte; Noronha, Hildegardo; Nunes, Nuno JardimWhile ubiquitous computing remains vastly applied in urban environments, their applications in ocean environment remain scarce due to the limitations in range and cost of current radio technology. This hinders environmental telemetry in the oceans and other remote areas. In this study, we explore the usage of IoT and Long Range Radio Communication (LoRa) in ocean environments. We study the maximum distance for ...
LoRattle - An Exploratory Game with a Purpose Using LoRa and IoT
Radeta, Marko; Ribeiro, Miguel; Vasconcelos, Dinarte; Nunes, Nuno JardimThe Internet of Things (IoT) is opening new possibilities for sensing, monitoring and actuating in urban environments. They sup port a shift to a hybrid network of humans and things collaborating in production, transmission and processing of data through low-cost and low power devices connected via long-range (LoRa) wide area networks (WAN). This paper describes a 2-player duel game based on IoT con trollers an...
SeaMote - Interactive Remotely Operated Apparatus for Aquatic Expeditions
Radeta, Marko; Ribeiro, Miguel; Vasconcelos, Dinarte; Lopes, Jorge; Sousa, Michael; Monteiro, João; Nunes, Nuno JardimIoT has been widely adopted by HCI communities and citi zen scientists to sense and control the surrounding environments. While their applications are mostly reported in urban settings, they remain scarce in aquatic settings. Oceans are undergoing an immense increase of human generated pollution ranging from noise to marine litter, where current USV solutions to detect its impact on environment remain at high c...
Watt-I-See: A Tangible Visualization of Energy
Quintal, Filipe; Jorge, Clinton; Nisi, Valentina; Nunes, Nuno JardimThis paper describes a tangible visualization that explores the link between the impact of energy feedback on household consumers and the resource demand impact on energy production. Specifically, it positions a novel perspective attempting to move beyond the known limitations of current eco-feedback systems and contributes to enhance our understanding of how consumers comprehend energy production. The work is ...
DreamScope Catcher: a Touch Sensitive Interface to Catch Dreams
Dionisio, Mara; Bala, Paulo; Trindade, Rui; Nisi, Valentina; Nunes, Nuno JardimDream Scope is the interactive, stand alone, self contained portion of a bigger Art installation named Lucid Peninsula. The goal of the installation is to offer a way for people to experience the future through a physical interactive installation. To achieve this aim we designed and developed the interactive DreamScope device, while the Time’s Up collective designed and built the physical installation. On one s...
Yarn: a product for unraveling stories
Buenafe, Susan; Guzman, Luis; Kannan, Namrata; Mendoza, Kristine; Nunes, Nuno Jardim; Nisi, Valentina; Campos, Pedro; Gonçalves, FredericaWriting is one of the oldest human activities, dating back as far as 3200 BCE. This paper provides an industrial case study about understanding the creative writing process using interviews and directed storytelling on aspiring and established writers and educators, performed during a one year capstone project, where teams of HCI students pair up with industrial designers and developers in order to solve a real...
SINAIS from Fanal: design and evaluation of an art-inspired eco-feedback system
Nisi, Valentina; Nunes, Nuno Jardim; Quintal, Filipe; Barreto, MaryIn this paper we present the challenges exposed during the designing, implementing and assessment of a novel eco feedback system resulting from the intersection of human computer interaction (HCI), and Digital Art. We explore how a digital art mode of inquiry can contribute to expose existing challenges in eco-feedback technology. Our new art inspired eco-feedback visualization, maps electricity consumption to ...
