Development of a Touchable VR Planetarium for Both Sighted and Visually Impaired People
Kota Suzuki, et. al
Abstract: The authors proposed and developed a “touchable” VR planetarium. The user wears a VR headset and “touches” the stars with the controllers. Because we can’t touch the stars in reality, this application provides the users with additional value and experience of the planetarium. As this feature is valuable for visually impaired people to experience the starry sky, the authors also implemented the functions that help it. In the trial use by visually impaired people, they experienced the starry sky with the support functions and evaluated the VR planetarium as a valuable application.

Planetarians’ Zoom Seminar of 2024 May 31. Preschool Children in the Dome. Led by Tony Smith (Astronomy Educator for Online Learning at ASP; planetarian), Anna Hurst (Program Director at the Astronomical Society of the Pacific) and Mary Holt (Planetarium Programs Specialist at California Academy of Sciences). How can planetariums offer engaging programming for preschool children and their families, an audience often overlooked and feared by even the most experienced planetarians?
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) and California Academy of Sciences (CAS) share some resources and experiences engaging pre-school children in earth and space science and then facilitate a conversation among attendees. What has worked well in your dome? What are the challenges? What support do you need to feel confident about reaching this audience?

ISCED 2011 is an updated version of the previous classification, ISCED 1997, and provides a framework for organizing education programs according to their level of complexity and content. The classification is designed to facilitate the comparison of education systems across countries and regions, and to improve the collection, reporting, and analysis of education statistics.
ISCED 2011 introduces several changes and updates, such as the introduction of a new level of education called “early childhood education,” the expansion of the tertiary education level to include short-cycle tertiary education, and the inclusion of a separate category for vocational education at the secondary level. The classification also includes detailed descriptions of the content and characteristics of each education level, as well as guidelines for classifying educational programs that do not fit neatly into the existing categories.
ISCED 2011 is widely used by national and international organizations, including UNESCO, to collect and report education data, and it provides a common language for discussing education across borders.

Maysville Community and Technical College
The IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee (IEEE E&H) tracks campus power outages (as a research project) because many large research universities own and operate power generation and delivery enterprises that run upwards of 100 megawatts — i.e. at a scale that exceeds many municipal and cooperative electrical power utilities that are regulated by state utility commissions. It has been estimated that power outages on a large research university campus — some with a daily population of 10,000 to 100,000 students, faculty and staff — have an effective cost of $100,000 to $1,ooo,ooo per minute.
The IEEE E&H Committee uses IEEE 1366 Guide for Electrical Power Distribution Reliability Indices — as a template for exploring performance metrics of large customer-owned power systems. Respected voices in the IEEE disagree on many concepts that appear in it but, for the moment, it is the most authoritative consensus document produced by the IEEE Standards Association at the moment.
According to IEEE Standards Association due processes, a revision to the 2012 version is now at the start of its developmental trajectory:
IEEE P1366 PAR Revision Approval
We will depend upon the IEEE E&H Committee to keep us informed about issues that will affect campus power purchasing contracts. (There is a fair amount of runway ahead of us.) Conversely, no IEEE technical committee ignores “war stories” and solid reliability performance data. We dedicate one hour every month to electrical power standards. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Salutariness (Cleanliness) standards follow culture (which follows the science which follows water management systems). What is considered clean or hygienic in one culture may differ from what is considered clean or hygienic in another culture. In some cultures, it is customary to remove shoes before entering a home, as it is considered unclean to wear shoes indoors. In Japan, it is customary to take a bath or shower before entering a public bathhouse or hot spring, as it is considered unclean to enter a communal bath without washing first. Most public swimming pools in the United States conform to a similar standard.
In some cultures, it is customary to eat with one’s hands, while in others, using utensils is the norm. Similarly, in some cultures, it is customary to clean one’s hands and face before eating, while in others, it is not considered necessary. Cleanliness standards can also vary depending on the level of economic development, access to clean water and sanitation facilities, and public health policies in different countries. Mahatma Gandhi believed that promoting cleanliness and hygiene could help in building a strong and self-sufficient nation.

At 15:00 UTC today we review best practice literature for hygiene in education community interior spaces; including related accessory technologies. Owing to the circumstances of the pandemic we have rewritten our past coverage of this topic for 2022.
Among the standards setting organizations active in this domain: (Short List)
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASME: Personal hygiene devices for water closets.
American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers (ASHRAE International)
American Society of Safety Professionals
American Water Works Association
“Responding to Water Stagnation in Buildings with Reduced or No Water Use”
Association of Physical Plant Administrators (APPA)
When you are short on custodians for a few days and staff members voluntarily chip in… during their planning time. ❤️
