Consequently, healthcare systems will face strong demands from the increase in patients because the ageing population is prone to chronic diseases. A possible solution for some chronic diseases is to provide healthcare through in-home monitoring technology. However, current design considerations have a greater focus on how to deliver healthcare through these technologies than how the patients' experience the technologies. Hence, these technologies are often a digital version of the existing healthcare delivery system. This paper presents preliminary findings of a patient-technology study from the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. A HCI empirical evaluation was conducted of patients' use of technology in a telemedicine clinical trial of type 2 diabetes. This paper describes the Clinical User-Experience Evaluation (CUE) method that was designed for this trial to explore medical monitoring in the digital age. Preliminary findings about design of future patient-centric in-home monitoring technology for type 2 diabetes are presented.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129856875","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}

However, these decisions are commonly made without full knowledge of, and access to, information about the landscape beyond the immediate areas of interest. Consequently, many decisions on pest management are made without consideration of other invaded areas by individuals who may not appreciate the broader implications. Landscape scale modelling can be enhanced through high speed species dispersal modelling combined with table sized interactive visualisation technologies that can incorporate large volumes of spatial data to better inform the decision-making process. This paper presents a project that combines these modelling and visualisation technologies so multiple stakeholders can engage with, and assess, interactions simultaneously. Then, pest management decisions can be based on a wider ecological and economical perspective.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129824093","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}

Route planning for leisurely travel is an example of a problem in this class, where constraints including total available time, transit times, and budget constraints determine whether a potential solution is acceptable to the prospective traveller. In this paper we present an interface that leverages, metaphorically, the elastic properties of a rubber band to allow playful interaction with relevant constraints. The resulting touch-based human computer interface enables the traveller to explore the solution space in the sense that constraints can be played with in order to find a route that meets the traveller's subjective preferences. Formal step-by-step evaluation with nine subjects confirms that leveraging the rubber band metaphor is useful in constraint satisfaction and that using the interface is intuitive since it leverages real-world experiences.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131343106","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}

It explores new methods to enhance the usability of ICTs by adopting the per-poor or grassroots level innovation model which facilitates the poor to innovate for themselves through their interpretation of existing technologies. Systematically harvesting grassroots innovation is gaining momentum and attracting ICT interventions due to the increasing availability of low cost personalized mobile phones. Following a user centred design approach, we designed an audio-visual based application for the Nokia 6303. This would impart maternal health care information to low literate mothers and provide them with easier access to government health care facilities. Our research and field work involved 24 participants and investigated new modes of disseminating maternal health care information without disrupting the existing government health care system. We explored usage of Interactive Genetic Algorithms (IGAs) to redefine our layout from scratch and compared two methods of representing graphics- metaphorical icons and realistic visuals, observing significant preference for the latter. We found that grid based menu icons in small screen interfaces were more adaptable than a list based menu. To consolidate and validate the design proposed by us, we qualitatively tested a high fidelity prototype with 8 fresh participants. Our findings provide a possible systematic set of considerations that can be taken prior to realizing per-poor innovation in future ICT4Ds.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134614268","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 system adopts a vision-based bare hand detection method which effectively detects the hand position and recognizes the hand gestures. Then, the corresponding sand manipulation actions are performed. Our system supports the common sand drawing functions, such as sand erosion, sand sand spilling, and sand leaking. To use hands to draw virtual sand on a drawing plane, we design four key gestures which enable drawing manipulation actions for sand. The basic idea is that the gesture of one hand controls the drawing action. The motion and gesture of the other hand controls the drawing position. Our preliminary experimental results show that our system enables sand drawing with bare hands using Kinect. A user study indicates our system is useful to sand art drawing.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125617749","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 use the hyperbolic tree to visualize the hierarchical structure. The hyperbolic tree can visualize large hierarchical structure. It allocates more space for the nodes of our concern, with the entire hierarchical structure being displayed at the same time. We utilize the time disc, which is similar to the spiral, to display the time-series data. Unlike traditional bar charts and line graphs, the time disc is suited to visualizing large data set and supporting much better the identification of features in the data, such as periodicity and trends. The method can easily display large hierarchical structure and time-series data. We visualize the time series data of each child node by selecting the parent node in the hyperbolic tree, and then observe the similarities and differences between the nodes and the trends of the thing. We applied this method to the urban air quality data visualization and achieved good results.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124104294","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}

To maintain this order of photographs, our photomosaic generation technique firstly arranges the given set of photographs in the order of those times, and then retouches so that the set of photographs forms a photomosaic-like scene.

Our generator framework DEViL3D incorporates such knowledge and supports the design of visual 3D languages and their implementation from high-level specifications. Such 3D languages arise from different modeling domains that make use of three-dimensional representations, e.g., the \"ball-and-stick\"models of molecules. The front-end of a 3D language implementation is a dedicated 3D graphical structure editor, which offers interaction and navigation techniques to construct programs in their domain. These techniques allow to manipulate the 3D program directly using operations to insert, move, and restructure objects. We have developed canned solutions for all such techniques that are encapsulated in visual patterns, which are provided by our generator. The designer of a particular 3D language only has to apply visual patterns to constructs of the abstract syntax, which defines the basic structure of the language. We have complemented our development with a usability study. Participants had to solve several tasks with different interaction or navigation techniques. The results partially indicate a significant advantage of one technique over another.","PeriodicalId":360638,"journal":{"name":"International Symposiu on Visual Information Communication and Interaction","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128780138","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}
