This demo presents a system that uses a physical device providing an interaction with a virtual environment to be used on hand rehabilitation. The envisaged rehabilitation activities cover both occupational therapy and training on the use of myoelectric prosthesis. The developed virtual environment uses the Unity game engine to conduct grip force control exercises enhanced by augmented visual and sound feedback.

After a short discussion of the GOLDi remote lab infrastructure, the new experiment control panel (ECP) and the integrated Graphical Interactive Finite State Machine toolset (GIFT) main focus of the paper is the interconnection of multiple remote labs (based on the GOLDi infrastructure) to a remote lab cloud. Within two running TEMPUS projects ten remote labs in four countries can be used worldwide. Based on this cloud structure it is necessary to adapt the complex GOLDi access control system. With this new reservation system possibilities for an effective worldwide experiment management will be available, which will be described in the article.

This demo shows exercises held at CUAS (Carinthia University of Applied Sciences) using a combination of virtual labs (basically electronic circuit simulation) and pocket labs. The use of pocket labs in education enables students to follow their own time schedule and makes it possible to repeat exercises for a better understanding. Two exercises will be shown, both of them using National Instruments' myDAQ: Basic electronic circuit design compares the simulation result of Multisim with a real circuit on a breadboard, and computer science and programming lectures will use a CUAS-designed miniSystem. All exercises using pocket labs are designed to be done at home by students.

In this article we propose the use of virtual reconstructions as a method to improve the learning performance of young students about the methods and techniques used in Archeology. The methodology included in this article follows two different paths depending on the students' abilities when reading or using computers. To test the method, we have developed a virtual reconstruction of the TT 209 archeological site in Luxor. This application allows students to move inside and outside the excavation and get some information on the different activities that were done along the field work. Several questionnaires directly available on the application are included to improve the learning performance. Several preliminary results obtained from an experience with 6 and 13 years old students are also shown.

Embedded systems complexity and time-to-market pressures are more challenging than ever for today's development teams. Creation of such systems without a powerful method of system partitioning designed for reuse can be daunting. Usage of remote lab can give new opportunities and ways for accumulation and study of existing design experience and ready solutions. As in other high-technology fields, in remote lab development there is great benefit in the reuse of different intellectual property. This paper outlines features of development and use of remote lab for embedded systems design based on reuse of hardware/software components.

In the future digital textbooks, a new media is desired to support verbal explanation of subjective knowledge. In this study, we used the scenario of conveying pottery skill as an example to explore a practical method for passing subjective knowledge. We proposed a method and built a prototype system to support verbal explanation of the feeling or sense of force, which is essential in explaining pottery skills. In the system, a force feedback device was integrated. Preliminary experimental results indicate that the method is feasible and can be integrated with a digital textbook.

The purpose of this study was to determine range of motion values of lumbar spine in rehabilitation procedure after surgery, using wearable wireless sensors. In this paper, we present a method for determining the mobility of the spinal column using a network of sensors. The sensors consist of accelerometers and gyroscopes, and mutual communication is accomplished using a I2C bus. The main sensor node collects data from all the sensors and sends them to a computer using Bluetooth communication. The collected data is then filtered and converted to the values of the angles that are of interest to quantify the movement.

In In this demo session, it will be shown how to perform Active Noise Control (ANC) and various important Acoustic experiments remotely on the remotely controlled ANC laboratory developed by Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden. An important consideration in ANC is the active control's performance dependence on the spatial position of the reference and error sensors, etc. This will be highlighted particularly. This feature is recently implemented using stepper motors which can be controlled via the Internet. It will be demonstrated how to write and upload active noise control algorithms e.g. Filtered-X Least Mean Square (FXLMS) to a digital signal processors (DSP) board. For the acoustic experiments various interesting acoustic properties such as waveforms, speed of sound, mode shapes and sound pressure spectra may be measured. A short guide about the measurements and PowerPoint presentation will be provided during the demo to facilitate for the users. The Lab setup and the equipment will be shown to the user using Skype and a web camera.

In engineering courses, it is more and more important to combine theory with practice. Therefore, at the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction of TU Dortmund University a tele-operative testing cell for material characterization was developed. This remote lab was successfully integrated to different scenarios. On the one hand, the remote lab was integrated to forming technology lectures. Thereby the lecturer configures the experiment in interaction with the students in the lecture hall. After the experiment is finished the results can be discussed face to face. On the other hand, the tele-operative testing cell becomes a part of different online learning scenarios like online courses. With this remote lab lectures and students are able to do experiments of forming technology via internet. In the following the design of the remote lab and two experiments for a live demo are described.
