In this paper, we propose a user interface that allows multiple users to obtain information interactively and perform simultaneous operation on a public display. Users can interact with the display using hand gestures, which enables many users to easily ...

In this paper, we present the concepts, design guidelines, and implementation details of Oz's fitting room, a novel virtual fashion fitting system where a professional stylist proposes coordination and fitting garments virtually through a display, from ...

Nurses in intensive care units are exposed to a large number of acoustic alarms which need to be evaluated and acknowledged. With different pitches and frequencies those alarms convey different levels of urgency to support the evaluation of its source. ...

Educational contexts evolve with the increasing impact of multi-touch technologies on everyday life. When bringing multi-touch technologies into a classroom, high-quality content applications must be developed to add value to students' learning. This ...

Everyday lives become increasingly reliant to digitally enhanced artifacts. Users expect that devices are easy to use. For technologies deployed in public spaces and for shared devices adaptation to the user is a key to achieve this. In this paper, we ...

The use of tangible interfaces for navigation of landscape scenery -- for example, lost places re-created in 3D -- has been pursued and articulated as a promising, impactful application of interactive visualization. In this demonstration, we present a ...

Recent advances in Virtual and Augmented Reality technology enable a variety of new applications (e.g., multi-player games in real environments). However, current devices suffer from having small fields of view, making the process of locating spatially ...

Many prior works investigated the potential of pervasive technologies and interactive applications to increase access capabilities to digital content for people with disability, particularly Neuro-Developmental Disorders (NDDs). In this paper, we ...

Interactive public displays pose several research issues, which include display blindness and interaction blindness. In this paper, we shortly introduce our idea of a sound-based system to overcome the display blindness, and some experiments that we are ...

Evaluating programming proficiency has become more relevant as the demand for coding skills has increased. Current methods, such as questionnaires or interviews, are methods that lack intuition, flexibility, and real-time capabilities. In our work, we ...

Public displays have invaded urban spaces, and different types of interactive screens are commonplace. In this poster paper, we describe an unconventional solution to construct an interactive display in an urban environment, projecting on a wall of ...

Displays are ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Since most smart phones or tablets try to avoid control elements, touch screens are primarily the only remaining component of interaction. Beyond the restriction of input methods, static screens define the ...

Ice is a familiar material to all, with a wide set of applications across artistic, cultural, scientific and technical domains. Most recently, the natural beauty of ice combined with its ephemerality is symbolic of the fragility of the global ...

In this paper we investigate kinetic displays in the form of robotic installations in the city of Hull, UK. The kinetic installations -- comprising a set of orange robotic arms, light sources, mirrors and soundscapes -- performed spatial and temporal ...

People have been using calendars for thousands of years to schedule appointments and to keep track of their daily lives. Today, calendars have a variety of form factors, including wall, desk, and digital calendars that all have specific advantages and ...

In this paper, we address smart jewelry, with particular focus on the enhancement of traditional jewelry. We chart people's perceptions on smart jewelry through focus group and online survey user studies. We then present and evaluate a necklace design ...

Large touch displays have long been studied in the lab, and are beginning to see widespread deployment in public spaces. However, a common limitation is fatigue -- often called 'gorilla arm' -- that prevents users from working with large displays for ...

Public space is becoming increasingly augmented by public displays, bringing digital content into the real-world. Consequently, as public displays are a form of computing, they are prone to experiencing failure related to their hardware and software. In ...

The use of plants as a mean for both visualization and interaction has been already explored in smart environments. In this work, we explore the possibility of constructing a controllable dynamic plant-based display using thigmonastic plants, i.e. ...

We present ShapelineGuide, a dynamic visual guide that supports users of large interactive displays while performing mid-air gestures. Today, we find many examples of large displays supporting interaction through gestures performed in Mid-air. Yet, ...
