The results showed that there is a significant effect of the interaction techniques during interaction on smartphone. Subjects were more accurate during pen interaction on both screen sizes. Age effects were significant but subjects aged 80 years old or oldest sometimes performed better than subjects aged 70 to 79 years old, especially during pen interaction. This study shows that drag-and-drop is an efficient technique for moving targets even on small touchscreen devices and pen interaction may help older users to execute more accurate drag-and-drop interaction on touchscreen devices.","PeriodicalId":131420,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Homme-Machine","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116140769","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}

In particular, we tackle the problem of visualizing dynamic weighted graphs-graphs with edges whose weight changes over time-to extract connectivity and sequencing patterns. We present LinkWave, a novel technique employing the concept of a visual list of edges. To better support the visual exploration of weight changes in edges and to characterize their rhythmic patterns, LinkWave represents each edge as an individual time series and provides a set of interactions to zoom, filter, sort, and aggregate the edges. We designed LinkWave in collaboration with neuroscientists seeking to extract patterns caused by degenerative diseases in functional brain connectivity data. We report preliminary findings neuroscientists discovered with LinkWave.","PeriodicalId":131420,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Homme-Machine","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134107080","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}

Observing that a number of elements from the report written by the French Office of Investigations for Civil Aviation Safety may be assimilated to known concepts from HCI, we propose to use the report as a case study for HCI research. After introducing the aeronautical vocabulary required to its understanding, we extract the HCI-related elements from the report, and assimilate, organize and translate them into conceptual frameworks from the Model of Action and Epistemology. We hope to foster further research aiming at a more formal modeling of the accident, or to foster the identification of possible improvements of the onboard systems.","PeriodicalId":131420,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Homme-Machine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130618546","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}

Virtual stick controllers are one solution to the problem of precise pointing on touch screens. They operate by using an area of the touch screen as a rate control device that moves a pointer. We implemented and evaluated this technique in a text editing context where unaided precise placement of the caret is difficult. The results showed that with large fonts and long pointing distance positioning the caret with the virtual stick is significantly slower than with conventional finger touching. On the contrary, with small fonts and short pointing distance, we noted no difference.","PeriodicalId":131420,"journal":{"name":"Interaction Homme-Machine","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130765327","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}

Nous proposons la Lampe torche magique, une nouvelle interaction à six degrés de libertés destinée à améliorer l'analyse visuelle d'un objet réel grâce à l'apposition sélective d'informations numériques par le biais de la RAS. Cette interaction fait référence à une triple métaphore de lampe torche : la zone à inspecter déterminée par le spot lumineux, l'angle d'inspection caractérisé par la direction de la lampe torche, et l'intensité de la visualisation déterminée par la distance entre la lampe torche et l'objet \"éclairé\". Grâce à une numérisation 3D préalable de l'objet et une analyse géométrique multi-échelle de sa surface, nous augmentons l'objet réel avec une visualisation expressive qui met en évidence les détails de l'objet, tels que les courbures, à différentes échelles et selon différents angles.
