Cover Story: To increase the effectiveness of virtual job training for people with intellectual disabilities in training situations in which they may experience difficulty and become unable to proceed further, the contents of the training program need to automatically identify such moments and provide support. To identify the moment of intervention, we conducted an experiment to collect the eye tracking data of people with intellectual disabilities while performing virtual-reality-based barista training and measured eye scanning patterns. We found that the information about the types of fixated objects did not help to identify any difference, but the information about eye transition was useful in identifying the difference.

Dirt Loss Estimator for Photovoltaic Modules Using Model Predictive Control

  • Ricardo R. Santos,
  • Edson A. Batista,
  • Moacyr A. G. de Brito and
  • David D. D. Quinelato

The central problem tackled in this article is the susceptibility of the solar modules to dirt that culminates in losses in energy generation or even physical damage. In this context, a solution is presented to enable the estimates of dirt losses in...
