This paper summarizes the main objectives of the 2nd IUI workshop on multimodal interfaces for automotive applications (MIAA 2010).

This workshop brought together researchers and practitioners from both text analytics and interactive visualization communities to explore, define, and develop intelligent visual interfaces that help enhance the consumption and quality of complex text ...

The International Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems (SEMAIS 2010) aims to identify emerging trends in interactive system design using semantic models.

Recent innovations in the Social and Semantic Web fields have resulted in large amounts of data created, published and consumed by users of the Web. This vast amount of data exists in a variety of formats, from the traditional ones such as text, image, ...

This workshop brought researchers from academia and industry together to share recent advances and discuss research directions and opportunities for next generation of intelligent human machine interaction that incorporate eye gaze.

Herein we describe the QuickWoZ system, a Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) tool that allows for the remote control of the behavior of animated characters in a 3D environment. The complete scene, character, behaviors and sounds can be defined in simple XML documents, ...

We developed an augmented reality (AR) dental training simulator utilizing a haptic (force feedback) device. A number of dental procedures such as crown preparation and opening access to the pulp can be simulated with various shapes of dental drill. The ...

In this paper we present a new way of translating documents by using a Web-based system. An interactive approach is proposed as an alternative to post-editing the output of a machine translation system. In this approach, the user's feedback is used to ...

Being aware of the relationships that exist between objects of interest is crucial in many situations. The RelFinder user interface helps to get an overview: Even large amounts of relationships can be visualized, filtered, and analyzed by the user. ...

We present the $3 Gesture Recognizer, a simple but robust gesture recognition system for input devices featuring 3D acceleration sensors. The algorithm is designed to be implemented quickly in prototyping environments, is intended to be device-...

In recent years health care professionals have been investigating the use of ICT technologies in order to influence the general public to change their attitude and behaviour toward a healthier lifestyle. We present Mobile Mentor, a platform aimed at ...

The Ozone Browser is a platform independent tool that enables users to visually augment the knowledge presented in a web document in an unobtrusive way. This tool supports the user comprehension of Web documents through the use of Semantic Overlays. ...

The addictive nature of game playing contributes to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. In this demonstration we showcase PLAY, MATE!, a novel mixed reality game design that motivates players to perform physical activity as part of playing. According ...

We present a user interface that combines the requirements needed for information search in a professional environment with the possibilities for multimedial queries based on automatically generated fuzzy high level metadata.

Multi-display environments combine displays of various form factors into a common interaction space. Cross-display navigation techniques have to provide transitions to move the mouse pointer across display boundaries to reach distant display locations. ...

Visual search is a task that is performed in various application areas. Search can be aided by an automatic warning system, which highlights the sections that may contain targets and require the user's attention. The effect of imperfect automatic ...

This paper presents a multimodal dialogue mashup where different users are involved in the use of different user interfaces for the annotation and retrieval of medical images. Our solution is a mashup that integrates a multimodal interface for speech-...

People interact with interfaces to accomplish goals, and knowledge about human goals can be useful for building intelligent user interfaces. We suggest that modeling high, human-level goals like "repair my credit score", is especially useful for ...

An effective approach to transcribe handwritten text documents is to follow an interactive-predictive paradigm in which both, the system is guided by the user, and the user is assisted by the system to complete the transcription task as efficiently as ...

Color and texture are basic elements in digital graphics. Selection of color with a picker is convenient in many of the image editing softwares. However, more organized and intelligent GUI for texture pattern selection is still missing. In this paper, ...
