Registrations for Qualicer 2024 slip resistance sessions

Richard Bowman has curated a flash slip resistance flash session at  Qualicer 2024, the 18th World Congress on Ceramic Tile Quality. This will be held from 9.15 to 10.30 (CET) on 5 March 2024.

You can register at https://www.qualicer.org/en/registration/. Instead of transferring 800€ (the complete online attendee fee), simply transfer 25€ (for the flash session). If you would also like access to the slip resistance presentations on 6 March, please transfer 50€. This will include a special invited presentation. The first paper is a continuation of the wear resistance theme, which provides a perfect lead-in to Dori Muñoz’ presentation.

A Fall on Stairs: Improving Safety through Augmented Reality

Join the Slips, Trips and Falls Technical Committee for an insightful webinar on enhancing stair safety with augmented reality.

🌈 Discover how an augmented reality system, developed by Professor Miura and his team, utilizes holographic lenses and visual illusions to enhance foot clearance on stairs.

🌐 Learn about the experimental evaluation of the system’s accuracy, model fitting for stripe thickness, and the significant improvement in foot clearance observed during and after system usage.

🏆 Presenter: Professor Satoshi Miura from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Professor Miura is the winner of the Challenging Research Award (Tokyo Tech, 2022), Young Investigation Excellence Award (Robotics Society of Japan, 2022), Ono Azusa Memorial Award (Waseda University, 2016).
