The current trend in Human-Computer Interaction aims at bridging the gap between the digital and the real world, exploring novel ways to engage users with computational devices. Computers take new forms that are better integrated into our environment and c ...
As computer technologies improve year by year, advanced and intuitive user interfaces become increasingly necessary to allow proper manipulation of various types of programs, in different fields and markets. In the case of haptic glove devices, a fraction ...
A biocompatible multi-layered structure comprising a first foam layer showing a first degree of porosity and a second foam layer showing a second degree of porosity, both foam layers being attached to one another through an interface, wherein said interfac ...
This paper investigates the prediction of two aspects of human behavior us- ing smartphones as sensing devices. We present a framework for predicting where users will go and which app they will use in the next ten minutes by ex- ploiting the rich contextua ...
Computer-controlled hydrodynamic flow focusing was utilized to generate tethered protein gradients of any user-defined shape on the surface of soft synthetic hydrogels. ...
We report the design and testing of TapaCarp, a CSCL environment for carpenter apprentices. From the start, we designed TapaCarp for a classroom usage. This led to an interface distributed over several components and modalities. A first user study conducte ...
In this paper we describe Graaasp, a social software currently under development to support the creation of a real usage database of social artifacts. Our goals are twofold: First to offer a generic aggregation service and user interface to people and comm ...
In this paper, a modified TF-IDF approach is proposed to recommend experts by inferring search query topics using metadata. A multi-disciplinary reputation metric is also introduced to select people with specific expertise. The approach is validated on Men ...
Many tasks in graphical user interfaces require users to interact with elements at various levels of precision. We present FingerGlass, a bimanual technique designed to improve the precision of graphical tasks on multitouch screens. It enables users to qui ...
Cloud computing is fast on its way to becoming a meaningless, oversold marketing slogan. In the midst of this hype, it is easy to overlook the fundamental change that is occurring. Computation, which used to be confined to the machine beside your desk, is ...
