The Socio-Economic Embeddedness of the Circular Economy: An Integrative Framework

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Rafael Laurenti

Global economies have been characterised by a large dependency of material inflows from natural stocks, an exponential growth of material stock-in-use in the built environment, and the extensive disposal of waste material outflows to anthropogenic sinks. I ...

Peripersonal Space: An Index of Multisensory Body–Environment Interactions in Real, Virtual, and Mixed Realities

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Bruno Herbelin, Fosco Bernasconi, Jean-Paul Noel, Javier Bello Ruiz, Elisa Canzoneri, Robin Mange, Elisa Pellencin

Human–environment interactions normally occur in the physical milieu and thus by medium of the body and within the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body, the peripersonal space (PPS). However, human interactions increasingly occur with or ...

Characterizing first and third person viewpoints and their alternation for embodied interaction in virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Ronan Boulic, Bruno Herbelin, Roy Salomon, Henrique Galvan Debarba, Sidney Bovet

Empirical research on the bodily self has shown that the body representation is malleable, and prone to manipulation when conflicting sensory stimuli are presented. Using Virtual Reality (VR) we assessed the effects of manipulating multisensory feedback (f ...
