This study presents a mobile application (app) that facilitates undergraduate students to learn data science using their own full-body motion data. The app captures a user's movements through the built-in camera of a mobile device and processes the images for data generation using BlazePose, an open-source computer vision model for real-time pose…

This article presents the adaptations for creating a set of Dragon Curve fractals using the Platonic polyhedra. The modeled fractals were inserted into environments programmed with Virtual Reality (VR) resources, which allow the visitor to manipulate and visualize each iteration used to construct these fractals.

However, most experiments for evaluating mask efficacy are either expensive and complex or inaccurate. In this work, a novel, low-cost, and…

Relative adiposity (%Fat) was measured using a smartphone-based application in a convenience sample of adults aged 20-52 years (n = 32, 68.7% female, 84.3% White/Caucasian, 26.7 ± 3.5 kg/m2) across different body positions (Anterior versus Posterior) on consecutive days (Day 1 versus Day 2). A reference photo was obtained from the posterior view…

Early literacy skills are critical for reading success, and the potential effectiveness of technology-based interventions in supporting these skills has been highlighted in previous research. This study aims to develop a comprehensive early literacy support mobile app for children at risk of reading difficulties. The research was conducted…
