I am currently testing yet another application of the versatile “Lock in Feedback” (LiF) algorithm: Dynamic in-game Difficulty Adjustment. Inspired by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow theory, dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) or dynamic game balancing (DGB), “is …
Do you like average faces best? Adjust the sliders and find out! * If you find the avatars at the center of the feature space more attractive than those at the perimeters, you are …
Tique Art recently released several booklets that provide a compelling overview of OTANI NIEUWENHUIZE, the new collaborative project of Japanese photographer Shinji Otani and Dutch photographer Johan Nieuwenhuize. I am particularly smitten with the handmade …
We just put our Tear Detection device through its paces – and it works even better than expected. The device is built from a tiny USB camera and a Seek Thermal Compact thermal imaging camera. …
Together with Johan Nieuwenhuize I am currently working on a Artist-Scientist project that traces the whereabouts of visitors to an exposition. This will enable Johan to adapt and evolve his installation based on the …
STW Open Mind program two-minute video entry. To make the video fit the STW’s two-minute time limit, we had to remove some sections of our original video and compress it by about ten percent. As …
My latest paper is now available on Arxiv – see summary and figure below. Abstract: “Lock-in feedback circuits are routinely used in physics laboratories all around the world to detect weak signals in a noisy …
A visualization demonstrating how Lock in Feedback (LiFt) is able to optimize over multiple dimensions – here, optimizing the position of a decoy on two attributes. If you are interested in playing around with Lock …
