GeForMTjs: A JavaScript Library Based on a Domain Specific Language for Multi-touch Gesture

12th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) 2012

Abstract

This paper presents the library GeForMTjs, which features an ab-stract way of representing multi-touch gestures. A domain specific language for multi-touch gestures, Gesture Formalization for Multi-touch (GeForMT), is adapted to the needs of web development. Web standards are addressed and mouse input is incorporated as well. A short overview of related work shows that a formal abstraction of multi-touch gestures is missing in the web context. A brief example illustrates the seven processing steps of the library.

DepthTouch: An Elastic Surface for Tangible Computing

Advanced Visual Interfaces 2012

Abstract

In this paper we describe DepthTouch, an installation which explores future interactive surfaces and features elastic feedback, allowing the user to go deeper than with regular multi-touch surfaces. DepthTouch’s elastic display allows the user to create valleys and ascending slopes by depressing or grabbing its textile surface. We describe the experimental approach for eliciting appropriate interaction metaphors from interaction with real materials and the resulting digital prototype.

Using the Power of Associations: BrainDump - A Revised Nature Inspired Visual Interface for Sensemaking

Bridging the gap: advances in interaction design for enterprise applications in production scenarios

AVI'12

Abstract

From Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERP) to Process Control Systems (PCS), users are facing complex user interfaces with a multitude of functionalities to fulfill their tasks. These interfaces still rely on the WIMP-paradigm including forms, tables and dashboards, which are meant to be used with mouse and keyboard. This contribution argues that there is a gap between the increased process complexity and the traditional concepts in visualization and interaction. This is one of the main reasons for current usability problems in the field of enterprise applications.

Defizite und Potentiale im Bereich der Usability betriebswirtschaftlicher Anwendungen in Kleinst-, Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen am Beispiel des Freistaats Sachsen

MKWI 2012

Abstract

Die Mehrheit betriebswirtschaftlicher Anwendungen nutzt zur Darstellung formularbasierte Dialoge, Menüs und tabellarische Auflistungen. Das damit verbundene Defizit äußert sich in der vollumfänglichen Präsentation des Informationsraums (z.B. in Form einer Tabelle mit mehreren tausend Datensätzen). Die Möglichkeiten, den Detailgrad sowie die Darstellungs-form der Informationen zu bestimmen, sind nur sehr eingeschränkt vorhanden. Zudem muss der Anwender über Kenntnisse der Dialogstruktur verfügen, um mit den Daten sowie den Operationen auf ihnen umgehen zu können.

Human models for studies on visual perception changes

3D-NordOst 2011

Abstract

This paper describes the usage of virtual human models as reference to analyze changes in perception that were caused by projecting 3D scenes. Starting from the idea of Perceptual Realism advantages and disadvantages will be presented and specific effects introduced. A base for the models is a related study. This contribution also discusses multi-perspective solving strategies for projection related issues and proposes an optimisation approach.

Interactive Panels - A tool for structured three-dimensional scene exploration and visualisation

3D-NordOst 2011

Abstract

 We present a tool to easily create, arrange and edit multiple views in a single window allowing the user to coordinate them with the help of modifiers thereby enhancing the interaction with objects and the navigation in a 3D-scene.

Facet Lens – Local Exploration and Discovery in globally Faceted Data Sets

DESIRE'11

Abstract

The process of design and construction in the field of automotive engineering produces lots of digital documents like images, text documents, calculation sheets, videos or 3Dmodels. Their amount, size and file type diversity increase rapidly since project team structures are getting more and more interdivisional. To regain an overview of the available items and their characteristics, the utilization of a faceted browser (or faceted search) is a comfortable approach. Its textual property selectionis already state of the art and leads to a reduced result set.

Wahrnehmungsrealismus – Aspekte der menschlich-visuellen Kompetenz und deren Bedeutung für computergrafische interaktive Anwendungen

Virtual Development and Training Centre des Fraunhofer-Institut für Fabrikbetrieb und -automatisierung IFF

Abstract

Computergrafische Nutzerschnittstellen vermitteln die Kommunikation des Menschen mit Datenstrukturen. Ziel der dem Vortrag zu Grunde liegenden Forschungsarbeit ist eine Immersions- und Effizienzoptimierung dieser Schnittstellen.

Symbik - A New Medium for Collaborative Knowledge-Intensive Work

In Proceedings of the International Conference on Education, Informatics, and Cybernetics (Orlando, Florida, Nov 29 – Dec 2, 2011). icEIC 2011

Abstract

Knowledge-intensive work in business practice is usually supported by rather static media where expressiveness and ease of content consumption are paid for by a high effort for content creation. In the area of highly interactive collaboration, however, physical media like whiteboards dominate because of the speed and ease of content creation. Regrettably, physical media come with a number of shortcomings, e.g., in terms of accommodating increases in complexity and scope.
