To reach the Paris-agreement target of no more than a 1,5 to 2 degree rise in global temperature, CO2 emissions need to reach net zero by 2050. This includes emissions from aviation. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has been designated emission reduction responsibility for transnational emissions. It is crucial to keep ICAO accountable for their responsibilities and for the pol

Rapid urbanisation coupled with unplanned development create the perfect recipe for a disaster, the risk of which has increased with climate change-related uncertainties. Belgrade’s high population growth rate and exposure to riverine flooding presents such a case. This study aims to provide insight into the relationship between urban development and riverine flooding in Belgrade and thereby induc

Handgester har länge varit en stor del av den mänskliga kommunikationen. Detta arbete introducerar en alternativ implementering av gest-styrning i Augmented Reality, bestående av virtuella mönster som kan styras med ögonen.Gesturing has long been a way of communicating, and is a large part of human nature. It was only natural that this was brought into our technological development when technology advanced. This thesis aims to expand the known human 'library' of gesturing into that of gestural patterns invoked by visual guidance and eye tracking. With the use of a HoloLens to visualize gestural patterns, in
