Detailed, step-by-step explanations of people's intentions and plausible actions can often help autistic people make sense of the situation, adapt to the social rules, and reduce stress associated with the social encounter. Carol Gray's Social Stories? are carefully structured stories designed to prepare autistic people for everyday situations such as smiling at friends, waiting in a line, and staying calm in an audience when the speaker's slides don't match the handouts. Teachers or parents writing these stories often forget to include explanations of simple, \"common sense\" facts and simple variations of the story that might occur in different circumstances. We present a new tool that helps the writer explain salient points and think of more variations of the story. It uses a knowledge base of Common Sense sentences, Open Mind Common Sense, and inference in a semantic network, ConceptNet. We are investigating whether this new tool's suggestions are useful by examining how often the writers choose and use the suggestions that it generates.","PeriodicalId":310204,"journal":{"name":"CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133377233","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 sensor looks at shadows cast by a user's hand for recognizing position. The position of the hand can be robustly recognized by independently tracking multiple shadows and by using multiple light sources with time-synchronous modulation with the camera. We also developed a multi-finger tracking system that uses similar modulated illumination from multiple light positions. We expect that these sensing configurations can be naturally integrated into our daily environments as LED lighting becomes more commonplace.","PeriodicalId":310204,"journal":{"name":"CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131752252","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}

Our study identified ways in which users liked tagging, threading, and foldering capabilities, but also some of the complex ways in which they can interact. Our study elicited early user input to guide the iterative design of these features.

Although the interface itself would be most applicable for the performing arts and gaming, the principles concerning the use of emotions and body motion analysis apply to many other areas interested in the design of intelligent user interfaces. We report the results of a pilot user study which suggest that such an interface could afford an emotionally immersive experience. However, individual user differences in the expression of emotions need to be accounted for.","PeriodicalId":310204,"journal":{"name":"CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129160372","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 paper proposes an approach, termed as THE HINGE, in providing agent-based multimodal presentations in accordance with multimodal input fusion results. The analysis of experiment result shows the proposed approach enhances the flexibility of the system while maintains its stability.","PeriodicalId":310204,"journal":{"name":"CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116905261","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}
