This talk presents the design and development of a custom 3D printed haptic syringe interface aimed to augment a virtual reality local anesthesia simulation (VRLA) with realistic tactile feedback. The VRLA previously used an Oculus Quest 2 head mounted device (HMD) with out of the box hand controllers to immerse students in the simulation and complete the necessary tasks. One controller (with the dominant hand) was used to perform a local anesthesia injection with a virtual hand that held a virtual syringe. This was subsequently replaced with a custom 3D printed haptic syringe to simulate physical interactions between the syringe and the environment in an effort to enhance the students' training experience. A pilot research study investigating the effectiveness of the custom haptic syringe had positive outcomes. Speakers Mohamad Eid, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Marci Levine, Clinical Associate Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, NYU College of Dentistry; Former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Elizabeth McAlpin, Director of Research and Outcomes Assessment, NYU IT Avinash Gyawali, Research Assistant, NYUAD In Collaboration with 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellows Program

Structured Luck: Downstream Effects of the U.S. Diversity Visa Program 51:59

16 дней назад51:59

51:59

How do immigration policies from economically advantaged countries affect people in less advantaged countries and the immigrants who come in with these policies? "Structured Luck" takes us on a transnational journey to explore the societal, personal, and political implications of the US Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, a US immigration policy that is an annual economic and cultural event in many economically disadvantaged countries. It illuminates the trauma, resilience, determination, and mobility of immigrants who come to the U.S. through the DV program and closes with a call for the U.S. and other economically advantaged countries to develop policies that will better integrate their immigrants into society. Speaker Onoso Imoagene, Associate Professor of Social Research and Public Policy, NYUAD; Author, "Structured Luck Downstream Effects of the U.S. Diversity Visa Program" (Russell Sage, 2024), NYUAD In conversation with Natasha Iskander, James Weldon Johnson Professor of Urban Planning and Public Service, NYU Wagner…

Can we reimagine the complex relationships among nature, culture, and homeland through the lens of a decolonial botany? In this conversation, Robert Zhao Renhui and Tuấn Mami explore plants as contemporary symbols of resilience and adaptation that can shape our understanding of multispecies ecosystems and migrating communities and enrich our collective existence. In a world grappling with the climate crisis, the artists invite the audience to rethink exclusionary binaries such as invasive vs native species and to see plants as matters of emotion, memory, history, and politics.

This talk examines the role of science in the Islamic world, tracing how modern science has roots in Islamic civilization. It explores whether we have lost key aspects of the scientific process that was established during this era. Beginning in the 8th century, Islamic scholars contributed through a unique triangle of innovation, using deep imagination to solve pressing social challenges. Today, there is growing evidence that we are losing this imaginative power and becoming disconnected from our social compass. Profitable advancements in medical, energy, and communication technologies may not be fully serving humanity.

Wisdom From the Ages: Ibn Khaldun and Lessons for a Poly-Crisis World 1:43:10

16 weeks назад1:43:10

1:43:10

This talk explores the enduring relevance of medieval Arab philosopher Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), often regarded as the father of sociology and historiography. His magnum opus, the Muqaddimah (1377), written nearly 650 years ago, has significantly influenced both Islamic and Western traditions. Ibn Khaldun’s ideas on social solidarity (assabiyah) and the interconnected dynamics of power, economic development, and social justice in his Circle of Equity are especially pertinent today. The lecture reprises a talk delivered at COP-28 at the DIFC, offering insights from Ibn Khaldun and other thinkers such as Adam Smith on addressing contemporary poly-crises, including climate change, inequality, and broader human challenges. The speaker will explore how these historical perspectives can inform our responses to today's most pressing issues.
