This study evaluates the usefulness and efficacy of three different continuous input devices - Makey Makey, Tobii Eye Tracker 4C, and Leap Motion - in promoting computer engagement for people with disabilities. A preliminary pilot study was ...

Increasingly accessible gesture-based interfaces offer powerful but underexplored potential for facilitating inclusive and engaging learning experiences. In this work, we explore creating and testing a hand and body pose-based gestural control ...

Multimodal interaction has been adopted across various platforms and devices, with supporting tools enhancing the developer experience in developing (). While traditionally, these tools faced challenges balancing expressiveness and usability, recent ...

Changes in body perception influence behavior and emotion and can be induced through multisensory feedback. Auditory feedback to one’s actions can trigger such alterations; however, it is unclear which individual factors modulate these effects. We employ ...

Gaze-based interaction has until now been almost an exclusive prerogative of the assistive field, as it is considered not sufficiently performing compared to traditional communication methods based on keyboards, pointing devices, and touch screens. ...

Creativity and inspiration for problem-solving are critical skills in a group-based learning environment. Communication procedures have seen continuous adjustments over the years, with increased multimedia elements usage like videos to provide superior ...

We present ThermoQuest, a self-contained wearable head-mounted display system for enhancing Virtual Reality experiences with temperature feedback. It’s constructed with commodity hardware elements, featuring 6 Peltier elements on the rim of the headset ...

Multimodal interfaces can leverage the information from multiple modalities to provide robust and error-free interaction. Early multimodal interfaces demonstrate the feasibility of building such systems but focused on specific applications. The challenge ...

Positive Computing involves the utilisation of digital technology to foster psychological wellbeing and human potential. We will present an overview of Positive Computing and what it implies for multimodal systems for public speaking. The position of ...

Several models and design spaces have been defined and are regularly used to describe how modalities can be fused together in an interactive multimodal system. However, models such as CASE, the CARE properties or TYCOON have all been defined more than ...

When designing olfactory interfaces, HCI researchers and practitioners have to carefully consider a number of issues related to the scent delivery, detection, and lingering. These are just a few of the problems to deal with. We present OSpace - an ...

The sense of smell is well known to provide very vivid experiences and to mediate a strong activation of crossmodal semantic representations. Despite a growing number of olfactory HCI prototypes, there have been only a few attempts to study the sense of ...

Autonomous vehicles will need de-escalation strategies to compensate when reaching system limitations. Car-driver handovers can be considered one possible method to deal with system boundaries. The authors suggest a bimodal auditory and visual handover ...

A multimodal system with real-time feedback for public speaking has been developed. The system has been developed within the paradigm of positive computing which focuses on designing for user wellbeing. To date we have focused on the following ...

Multimodal Interactions have been used in many fields of application, such as medicine, manipulation of assistive technologies, interactions in public environments, among others. It is important to not only develop technologies (hardware and software) ...

It is usual for a patient to continue performing exercises outside of the clinic and without any therapist's supervision, after being exempted from in-clinic physical therapy. While performing unsupervised exercises, it is desirable for the patient to ...

In this paper, the authors describe a novel design alternative to the traditional PIN-based user authentication process, through the selection of a sequence of abstract sounds. The authors conducted two studies as part of the research. The first study ...

Earlier studies in the field of pain research suggest that little efficient intervention currently exists in response to the exponential increase in the prevalence of pain. In this paper, we present an Android application (PainDroid) with multimodal ...

Serious Games is a field of research that has evolved substantially with valuable contributions to many application domains and areas. Patients often consider traditional rehabilitation approaches to be repetitive and boring, making it difficult for ...

In educational institutions computing technology is facilitating a dynamic and supportive learning environment for students. In recent years, much research has involved investigating the potential of technology for use in education and terms such as ...
