Protecting the Blue Economy: Preserving Life Below the Sea

Image
  Protecting the Blue Economy: Preserving Life Below the Sea The blue economy is estimated to be worth more than US$1.5 trillion per year globally. It provides over 30 million jobs and supplies a vital source of protein to over three billion people. While it has been eclipsed in recent years by a greater focus on the ‘green economy’ (that is, the role of primarily land-based activities in the economic transformation required to transition to a low-carbon future), a renewed interest in the blue economy (also sometimes referred to ‘blue growth’) is indicated by the OECD prediction that the ocean economy may double in size to $3 trillion by 2030 According to the World Bank, the blue economy is the "sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystem." Marine life, sea life, or ocean life is the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in the salt water of seas or oceans, or the brackish wate...

What is Computer Haptics and CHAi3D

About Haptics The essential nature of touch is connection. We use our hands to explore and understand our world by feeling the materials, textures, and shapes that compose every object in it. Our sense of touch provides a rich variety of information about the hardness, softness, malleability, or rigidity of these objects, and helps us identify the effort needed to manipulate them. Haptics is an emerging technology that involves transmitting digital information through the sense of touch. This hands-on form of interaction is achieved by using small actuated interfaces called haptic devices that apply force, vibration, and motion to the user. Haptics (from the Greek {haptesthai} meaning to touch) was first introduced in the early 20th century by psychophysicists to label the sub-field of their studies that addressed human touch-based perception and manipulation. During the 1970s and 1980s significant research efforts in a completely different field, robotics, began to focus on manipulati...
