Lecture at StudioLab, TU Delft

On the 24th of September, I delivered a lab talk lecture to the StudioLab community of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, TU Delft.

This was the topic of the lecture:

Join us for a labtalk by postdoctoral researcher Wilbert Tabone, as he shares his work and interests related to cognitive human-robot interaction, eye-tracking, spatial computing (AR/VR), applied AI, and digital cultural heritage. Wilbert joined StudioLab in the summer.

He will be sharing findings from his Marie Curie PhD Research, which focused on designing augmented reality interfaces to facilitate safe and transparent interactions between pedestrians and automated vehicles in urban spaces.  The design and experimental process, with an increasing level of ecological validity, led to insights that inform how one can design effective AR interfaces and guidelines on how to best present information spatially to promote safe and transparent interactions between pedestrians and automated vehicles. Beyond automation, you will be transported to the Hall of Masters at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, where he used eye-tracking to uncover how museum visitors engage with paintings, offering insights into the relationship between attention, art appreciation, and the Master’s brushstrokes. As well as the research conducted during his first postdoc, which explored how spatial computing helps analyse visual sampling behaviours in complex environments.

At the end, Wilbert will talk about his current research as a postdoc at IDE, where he is exploring Worldbuilding and VR generative environments in the context of human-robot interactions in a medical setting. He may also sprinkle in some of his other interests, such as new media art.
