In this submission, a new concept for the application of augmented reality in warehouse management is presented. The new tool offers the possibility to visualize the turnover rate of products in a warehouse and to optimize the location of products ...

Bathing in Lightness is an interactive light and sound installation that seems to be enlivened by a swarm entity trying to explore its inner world and communicate with the outer one. Consisting of 52 filament light bulbs it visualizes the movement of a ...

Learning and work-oriented assistive systems are often designed to fit the workflow of neurotypical workers. Neurodivergent workers and individuals with learning disabilities often present cognitive and sensorimotor characteristics that are better ...

Virtual Reality (VR) applications are applied in various domains (e.g. education, training, engineering or entertainment) and offer new possibilities especially when it comes to training of complex tasks which are not suitable or available in a real ...

There are a plethora of brick systems on the market these days. Children and young adults play very creatively with the interlocking bricks. Even adults like the colorful bricks and build models with them quickly and easily. In this paper we present our ...

While becoming more and more aware of the ongoing climate change, eco-friendly means of transport for all citizens are moving further into focus. In order to be able to implement specific measures, it is necessary to better understand and emphasize ...

This article describes the implementation and usage of a prototype to explore medical volume data in projective augmented reality (AR). To allow real-time rendering of the data, a volume ray casting algorithm is implemented on the GPU. Furthermore, the ...

Participation and inclusion in social life, as well as social exchange and sharing, often take place on the Internet. The community app meinDorf55+ is designed to support senior citizens to strengthen their social participation. It has been shown that ...

In this paper we propose the Cybersickness Susceptibility Questionnaire (CSSQ), which predicts the likeliness of a user experiencing cybersickness related symptoms when exposed to virtual reality (VR). The items on this questionnaire were compiled from ...

We analyze the addressee detection task for complexity-identical dialog for both human conversation and device-directed speech. Our recurrent neural model performs at least as good as humans, who have problems with this task, even native speakers, who ...

Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) describes whether a person approaches or avoids interaction with technology [1], making it an important variable in human-centered design.

To determine whether ATI will likely remain an important variable in the ...

The explorative examination of constructed 3D models in immersive environments requires suitable user-centric interaction methods. Especially novel concepts for virtual camera control can offer advantages, e.g. for the analysis of model details. We ...

Common approaches for gamepad-based navigation in desktop 3D games are often not suited for inexperienced players. In particular, novices have difficulties in simultaneously controlling movement and viewing direction in a virtual 3D scene. Here, we ...

Human failure constitutes a major cause for accidents of all kinds. Especially drowsiness or situations of cognitive overload impair the ability to react quickly and appropriately to critical events. The present study applies brief periods of monotonous ...

Using the term Innovation Enabling this paper introduces a holistic concept to support interdisciplinary teams in creative and innovative problem-solving tasks. The concept supports both facilitators and participants and is based on implicit ...

Due to the increasing spread of immersive virtual reality applications, such as adventure and sandbox games, good orientational skills in virtual worlds are also becoming more important. In this paper, we present a prototype to investigate orientational ...

Group awareness is a prominent challenge in the field of co-located collaboration in Multi-display Environments (MDE), where several personal and shared devices are operated simultaneously by multiple users. With a focus on Collaborative Information ...

Automated driving, in particular in mixed traffic, comes with the problem of partially missing face-to-face interaction between driver and other road users when in automated mode (SAE L3+). The lack of confirmation from a driver-passenger of an ...

In most health systems, patient information is available in both analog and digital formats and helps to simplify collaboration across disciplinary and departmental boundaries. Based on data from ethnographic fieldwork on patient information management (...

Knowledge work has become unimaginable without information and communication technology. Assistive technology (AT) is intended to provide knowledge workers with visual impairments (theoretically) the same access to the different "Main-stream"-technology ...
