Parents of children on the spectrum find it difficult for their kids to communicate with them and other people, which makes it challenging for social interactions. Researchers have introduced different solutions such as Therapy Robot that Teaches Social Skills to Children with Autism. Additionally, Virtual reality was used to teach emotional and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder. However, these solutions focus only on the person on the spectrum, neglecting the fact that the social challenges that people on the spectrum face are partly due to the lack of understanding on the neurotypicals' end. In this study, the solution introduced focuses on the neurotypical perspective; An advanced and interactive intelligent technology that can educate neurotypical people on how to communicate with people on the spectrum in different scenarios and environments. It also allows the learner to see the consequences of the different interactions from the point of view of a person on the spectrum, be aware of their actions, and fully engage in the scenarios through Virtual Reality (VR). Virtual Reality is a technology that simulates experiences that can be similar to the real world. The project aim was achieved by implementing a storyline game that is VR-based.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130853883","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}

This study compared Zeus in Greek mythology and Hwanung in Korean mythology. This study also analyzed Lore Olympus and Baro-Jamneun-Sunaebo to derive their views of human beings. As a result, this study derived the following findings: First, it is confirmed that the Zeus and Hwanung who appear in the webtoons are similar to their prototypes. However, the Zeus and Hwanung in webtoons live and dress in the context of the modern era. Second, there was a difference between the two cultures in how humans are viewed in the two myths and webtoons. Lore Olympus shows that humans, as seen through Zeus, are imperfect beings with divine origins and nature and the relationship between humans and gods is vertical. In addition, human beings worship heroes who must endure hardships while constantly learning in a person-centered way. This study also reveals that in Baro-Jamneun-Sunaebo, based on Korean mythology, human beings examined through Hwanung prioritize community, value moral life, and grow through training and overcoming hardships because they are beings who can become gods themselves. This study presents the human view of the two cultures through the analysis of webtoon characters, which is expected to contribute academically and practically to understanding different cultures.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126342762","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}

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approach provides the ability to create the appropriate features to represent data. DWT can produce global and local features using different wavelet families and decomposition levels. These two parameters are essential to obtain a suitable representation for classes in the hierarchy structure. This study proposes using a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm to select the suitable wavelet family and decomposition level for G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) hierarchical class representation. The results indicate that the PSO algorithm mostly selects Biorthogonal wavelets and decomposition level 2 to represent GPCR protein. Concerning the performance, the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 97.9%, 85.9%, and 77.5% at the family, subfamily, and sub-subfamily levels, respectively.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116666387","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}

Lack of health awareness on obesity issue primely, leads to the high number of people being unhealthy and obese. Hence, the need to raise health awareness on obesity. Conventionally, there are various programmes to create obesity awareness by various organizations. Since technology applications have been common among the people nowadays, implementation of serious game in supporting obesity awareness will be able to attract users to play the game whilst gain knowledge and lead to behaviour change. This paper aimed to develop a proposed conceptual framework in serious game that intends to raise health awareness on obesity. Previous research suggested only a few methodologies, frameworks and models have been proposed to guide the serious game design and development. In this study, the conceptual framework proposed is based on Information-Motivation-Behavioural (IMB) model that serve health promotion and influence change of behaviour. The development of this conceptual framework includes the implementation of game components suitable in creating obesity awareness game and could impact the players’ cognitive and behaviour change.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133311812","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, mixed, and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are becoming more ubiquitous in our society and “virtual history” exhibits are starting to be available to the public. There are numerous studies focusing on AR, however a scant amount of research is being done at historical sites. An initial experiment used repeated measures (ANOVA) to compare and rank three different types of AR devices used at a site of cultural heritage. A further experiment was then undertaken to observe participants using two different AR devices with and without sound to determine if which device used or the presence of sound impact the usability of the device, or the user’s satisfaction/preference of specific devices. Several surveys, including demographic and usability surveys, were provided in order to collect a range of user data. A two-way repeated measures (ANOVA) were used to analyze the quantitative data gathered. No significant effects were observed based on the quantitative data provided by the surveys, indicating that all devices were equally usable and satisfactory, and that sound did not have a significant impact in this instance. However, the qualitative data indicated that users may prefer using AR technology on a smartphone device and preferred to use this device paired with sound.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124129705","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}

Despite the progress made on maternity healthcare in the last two decades, a huge effort is still required to achieve the SDG3 target. The effort includes capacitating the health professionals and local doulas through training and learning application platforms. Universally designed multimedia training and learning applications plays such a significant role in facilitating this effort. To design an accessible maternity training and learning application, the accessibility barriers of the target diverse user groups must be identified, and the impact of the barriers need to be quantified. In this research work, we have developed a prototype called M2M that comprises VR-based animation to identify the possible accessibility barriers of multimedia-based maternity training and learning application experienced by people with low vision through the combination of heuristic and barrier walkthrough methods. We studied the severity of the identified accessibility barriers and their impact which will serve as a benchmark to develop a fully-fledged maternity health training and learning application for the global south. We have shown the strong correlation between the number of UI elements and the prevalence of accessibility barriers that must be considered in designing the UI/UX of the fully-fledged maternity training and learning application. We have also observed that multimedia contents must be evaluated independently for any accessibility issues before integrating the contents to training applications.","PeriodicalId":133327,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of Multimedia & Its Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126551476","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}
