In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and related fields of research, like Computer Graphics and Multimedia, simple to use and objective measures like Thomson Reuter's impact factors aren't applicable. Ranking lists like the Australian ERA and CORE try to provide an alternative, but are often criticized for being subjective. We are proposing an additional, alternative rating system which is entirely based on Hirsch indices by assigning four categories of quality (A*, A, B, C) to certain ranges (30+, 20-29, 10-19, 0-9) of H5 indices gathered from Google Scholar. We describe our methodology, results, limitations, and opportunities of this proposed \"CHINZ\" rating.","PeriodicalId":112686,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123633653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed a repeated measures case study with one participant with CP, and one typically developed (TD) participant. Measurements of the relative timing of eye and hand movements were made to see how they vary when participants have the opportunity to preplan a movement (by knowing where a target will appear), and to see if they were repeatable. As expected, the typically developed participant changed their coordination patterns when they could preplan a movement. This did not occur for the participant with cerebral palsy and suggests he has a reduced ability to preplan movements, or at least a preference to avoid doing so. This implies gesture based interaction to imagined targets could be less accessible to people with cerebral palsy. Visual affordances may help overcome this potential barrier. The relative timing of movements varied from session to session for the participant with CP, but not the TD participant.","PeriodicalId":112686,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133436192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usability testing was completed on a range of applications, available with a Māori-language interface, to gauge levels of awareness, engagement and perception. Nearly all of the respondents were unaware of the availability of these interfaces but most indicated they would prefer to use the Māori-language versions. In terms of engagement and usability, users initially engaged using Māori but switched to English when they wanted to quickly complete the task at hand. Few remained fully engaged with the Māori-language interfaces. High levels of language switching were reported and some frustration as the participants encountered new and unfamiliar uses of words. At face value the feedback suggests the translated interfaces contained unnecessary complications and that better design and content might have enhanced the user experience. However, there is evidence that extended use would enable users to become more familiar with the interfaces alluding to initial barriers created by a previous competence in another language -- in this case English. With this previous competence in mind it might be more useful to employ design concepts that would alleviate initial difficulties and serve to keep the user engaged in the target language for longer periods of time.","PeriodicalId":112686,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127453109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional learning systems schedule repetition based on both the results of a recall test and learning theories such as the spacing effect. However, there is room for improvement from the perspective of remembrance-level estimation. In this paper, we focus on on-line handwritten data obtained from handwriting using a computer. We collected handwritten data from remembrance tests to both analyze the problem of traditional estimation methods and to build a new estimation model using handwritten data as the input data. The evaluation found that our proposed model can output a continuous remembrance-level value of zero to 1, whereas traditional methods output a only binary decision. In addition, the experiment showed that our proposed model achieves the best performance with an F-value of 0.69.","PeriodicalId":112686,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"335 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115411395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Tangible Interaction: A case for light-weight tangibles","authors":"B. Plimmer","doi":"10.1145/2808047.2817760","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2808047.2817760","url":null,"abstract":"The allure of using everyday objects to interact with virtual systems has been around since the beginnings of HCI. There have been many exciting research projects. Without exception they report increase user engagement and a fun user experience; positive attributes for learning and gaming systems. A few of the projects have even made it to products. However there are still major challenges to overcome in order to be able to use any everyday object as an interactive device. There appear to be some cognitive advantages to manipulating physical objects. However these advantages are not yet well understood and more research is needed to flesh out our understanding. In the meantime we can posit that the advantages come from the increased sensory engagement -- tactile, proprioceptive and kinesthetic, the true 3D visual space, our social norms of collaboration and turn-taking and our understanding of the physical world. As an example, recall when you have been sitting with a friend, colleague or child and one of you has grabbed the salt and pepper to represent the sun and earth, or such. Today and alternative might be to pull out a tablet and look for an animation. The animation will likely be more accurate, but less engaging. Which would be understood better, remembered more clearly? Could a blend of the two, with the salt and pepper used as tokens to manipulate the virtual animation, be built? Of course we could do this with current technologies, just not in the cafe. To sense the salt and pepper we could use image processing. This needs a minimum of two cameras to accurately sense the position and orientation. However picking up and moving the objects partially obscures them making tracking more difficult. A better set up is about 4 cameras -- and well behaved participants. Alternatively we could sense the objects on or near to a surface using a range of sensing technologies. The limitations with the surface sensing approach are distance from the surface and fidelity of the positioning. We could blend cameras and surface sensing. Is near field radio waves a possibility? The second challenge is how and where to provide feedback to the user on the effect of their actions on the virtual world. Should we show the world on a 2D display, through augmented or virtual reality headsets, have actuated tangibles that will travel the paths for the sun and earth? Clearly, to do this in the wild with current technologies, the setup time would be considerable and the moment would be lost. The challenge with light-tangibles is to be able to play out the scenario above without spending a 'month of Sundays' designing and building the system and going to the lab to test it. In this talk I will explore the challenges and possibilities of light-weight tangible interaction. Will there be a day when we can simply pick up the salt and pepper and play out the scenario?","PeriodicalId":112686,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 15th New Zealand Conference on Human-Computer Interaction","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115708926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
