Passive Solar Design (Architecture)
The intention of this slideshow is to provide a basic introduction to passive solar design and architecture.
A very simple historical example (Afghanistan) is given with some diagrams to explain the basics of passive solar and some passive ventilation principles (comparing winter and summer). Towards the end an example of a more complex design (Solar decathlon 2012-SLIDE house, Egypt) is included to illustrate some of the combination of solar principles and movement in relation to the sun (harvesting the energy of the sun). On some of the last slides I make a comment about the SLIDE house to
get the viewer to think about Nano technology and bio-mimetics. The last slide provide a link to a website on Bio-mimetics.
The viewer can explore bio-mimicry and its role in design by asking nature how?

Hennessey An Open Source Eye Gaze Interface Expanding The Adoption Of Eye Gaz...Kalle
There is no standard software interface in the eye-tracking industry, making it difficult for developers to integrate eye-gaze into their
applications. The combination of high cost eye-trackers and lack of applications has resulted in a slow adoption of the technology.
To expand the adoption of eye-gaze in everyday applications, we present an eye-gaze specific application programming interface that is platform and language neutral, based on open standards, easily
used and extended and free of cost.
