With growing exposure of children to handheld and mobile devices, there is an increasing interest in exploring the use of mobile technology for educational purposes. In particular, touch-based devices seem to promise great potential in this domain. In ...

Virtual Patients (VPs) have been successful in health education to promote and foster communication. Additionally, computer simulations offer the advantage of being standardized, repeatable, and do not require as much resources as role-play simulations. ...

Sketch-based applications are rapidly gaining popularity in 3D modelling because of the intuitive pen-and-paper metaphor. Even inexperienced users with little computer graphics and digital design background can use them to create 3D models rapidly. ...

The ability for Tangible User Interfaces to enable the intuitive control of existing systems and adapt to individual users' usage scenarios remains an area of development. Previous research in customizable tangible interfaces has focused primarily on ...

This paper present results of our investigations into using spatial augmented reality to improve kitchen design and other interior architecture tasks. We have developed user interface techniques for room sized modelling tasks, including cabinet layout, ...

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are highly immersive display devices which are increasingly targeted towards consumer-level video games, E-learning, training and other forms of digital entertainment. Despite the hardware now being available, quality ...

Drawing on Kendon's F-formation framework of social interaction, we analysed the game-space activity of collocated players engaged in a tangible multiplayer game. Game input from groups of 3 players interacting competitively in a natural spatial ...

Virtual worlds show promise for conducting meetings and conferences without the need for physical travel. Current experience suggests the major limitation to the more widespread adoption and acceptance of virtual conferences is the failure of existing ...

We report the process of designing an interactive system for use in disease surveillance and patient case management at remote communities in the Amazon region. The design aimed at coordinating and supporting the tasks of a distributed community of ...

View-dependent rendering techniques are an important tool in Spatial Augmented Reality. These allow the addition of more detail and the depiction of purely virtual geometry inside the shape of physical props. This paper investigates the impact of ...

Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is an intervention method used by behaviour analysts for teaching skills to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) around a table using physical materials and artefacts. Traditional DTT suffers from these main ...

Spatial memory has been recognized as an important factor in efficient human-computer interaction. However, most previous studies are limited to very simple depth cues and 2D displays. We present a study investigating the effects of head-coupled ...

In the early phases, software engineers use whiteboards and flip charts to create and discuss their ideas and later they transform manually the hand drawn pictures into machine readable models. During this transformation important sketch information, ...

The concept of casual screen sharing is that multiple users can cast screen images from their personal hand-held devices on to a large shared local screen. It has applications in personal and business domains where documents or images need to be ...
