Dual-touchscreen laptops present opportunities for providing an expansive touchpad on the lower touchscreen. This expanded touchpad offers space for the engagement of both the dominant and non-dominant hands. In this context, it is necessary to redefine ...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) of brain tumors provides useful metabolic information for diagnosis, treatment response, and prognosis. Single-voxel MRS requires precise planning of the acquisition volume to produce a high-quality signal ...

Computed tomography (CT) image can be reconstructed by various types of kernels depending on what anatomical structure is evaluated. Also, even if the same anatomical structure is analyzed, the kernel being used differs depending on whether it is ...

We present ExpanStick, a novel thumbstick that augments video game interaction using the force that the user applies at the physical limit of the gamepad. Gamers frequently manipulate a thumbstick leaning on the limit, or physical boundary around it, ...

The Reminiscence - The Monologues of Being Seen is the third-generation interactive media installation based on the Posture Portraits Project (PPP). PPP is an interdisciplinary project which examines how bodies have historically been created/made ...

Programmable haptic feedback on touchscreen keyboards enriches user experiences but is hard to realize for physical keyboards because this requires individually augmenting each key with an actuator. As an alternative approach, we propose HapticPalmrest, ...

Force feedback is important for immersive VR experience but requires a cumbersome device restricting the use of the hand. An alternative to work around this problem is the use of substituted tactile feedback. QuadStretch is a lightweight and flexible ...

Users with visual impairments find it difficult to enjoy real-time 2D interactive applications on the touchscreen. Touchscreen applications such as sports games often require simultaneous recognition of and interaction with multiple moving targets ...

In first-person shooters (FPS), professional players (a.k.a., Gosu) outperform amateur players. The secrets behind the performance of professional FPS players have been debated in online communities with many conjectures; however, attempts of ...

Force feedback has not been fully explored in modern gaming environments where a gamepad is the main interface. We developed various game interaction scenarios where force feedback through the thumbstick of the gamepad can be effective, and categorized ...

The Midas touch problem is a well-known problem in eye gaze interaction techniques. We present Verge-it as a Midas touch free input technique using modulated disparity vergence eye movement for a binocular head-worn display. We conducted a feasibility ...

There are needs for pen interaction on a laptop, and the market sees many pen-enabled laptop products. Many of these laptops can be transformed into tablets, when pen interaction is needed. In a real situation, however, a workflow often requires both ...

Promisingly, driving is adapting to a Voice User Interface (VUI) that lets drivers utilize diverse applications with little effort. However, the VUI has innate usability issues, such as a turn-taking problem, a short-term memory workload, inefficient ...

There are needs for pen interaction on a laptop, and the market sees many pen-enabled laptop products. Many of them can be transformed into tablets when pen interaction is needed. In a real situation, however, users use multiple applications ...

In film directing, a bias towards the representation of a particular gender can cause the audience to form a distorted stereotype of the gender role. The Bechdel test has been widely used to objectively judge the existence of such bias in films. However, ...

In countries where languages with non-Latin characters are prevalent, people use a keyboard with two language modes namely, the native language and English, and often experience mode errors. To diagnose the mode error problem, we conducted a field study ...

Laparoscopic surgery relies on effective visualization of areas of interest and surrounding tissue. The limited field of view of traditional laparoscopes increases the risk of peripheral tissue injury. To address this limitation, a multiresolution ...

As smartwatch functions expand, target selection among many items will probably become a common task. List search interfaces (LSIs) for a smartwatch use a prefix matching query to search for items, and need two modes because of the small screen size: ...

Many error sources have been explored in regards to the depth perception problem in augmented reality environments using optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs). Nonetheless, two error sources are commonly neglected: the ray-shift phenomenon ...

The ray-shift phenomenon means the apparent distance shift in the display image plane between virtual and physical objects. It is caused by the difference in the refraction of virtual display and see-through optical paths derived from optical combiners ...
