Our project addresses challenges in VR striking sports games, where the lack of accurate physical feedback limits VR’s ability to promote physical activity. Building on an existing NAIST project, we propose to enhance their haptic device into a sport-universal tool that improves realism and immersion by replicating real-world sports interactions (e.g., striking a ball) across […]

One side effect of stroke is damage to the left parietal lobe, important in motor control of the right hand. Many stroke patients experience loss of motor skills and have difficulty relearning how to perform daily tasks. Recent reports from stroke rehabilitation centres have shown increased improvements in relearning basic motor skills upon incorporation of […]

Quantum advantages designate situations where processing qubits of information solves a task significantly more efficiently than processing classical bits of information in some basic abstract scenario. Our understanding of quantum advantages for distributed computing is limited. In particular, it is not well understood whether quantum information can deal with issues inherent to networks such as […]

The proposed research project will be to visit survey and document post and modern cave dwellings, live in the villages, getting to know the local villagers and craftsmen, and engage in cross-cultural and interdisciplinary research. Through method of record, from measured drawings to statistical analysis, full scale details to test of structural performance or climate […]

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges in the provision of optimal patient care, including at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). For instance, there was a lack of evidence regarding appropriate viral testing and interventions, and the virus was also associated with adverse health events occurring well beyond acute infection. In response, SickKids has been […]
