Technologies and systems have been developed to support such collaborations. However, existing systems often confine collaborators in fixed desktop settings. Yet, there are many situations in which collaborators are mobile and/or desktop settings are not possible to set up. In this paper, we present HandsInAir, a real-time collaborative wearable system for remote collaboration. HandsInAir is designed to support mobility of both the worker and the helper and to provide easy access to remote expertise. In particular, this system implements a novel approach that allows helpers to perform hand gestures in the air and frees two hands of workers for object operations. We describe the system and an evaluation of it and envision future work.","PeriodicalId":90149,"journal":{"name":"CSCW : proceedings of the Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.

This indicates that we can utilize the power of social facilitation and social transparency to motivate workers in crowdsourcing to reduce operation costs and even enhance outcome quality.","PeriodicalId":90149,"journal":{"name":"CSCW : proceedings of the Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.

The requirement of designing for embedded systems, which places a strict upper limit on available computing power, in addition to the restriction on haptic feedback, makes designing a suitable interface a unique challenge. The proposed solution relies on an ingenious extension of Voice Activity Detection providing inherent disturbance immunity, and incorporates feedback to the user to make selection of the input easier. This input scheme is being tested for a unique system for cleansing immobile patients via nozzle-fitted gloves worn by an operator on both hands. The design calls for the operator being able to control the flow of soap, water, or a stream of hot air from the nozzles, even with both hands engaged in cleaning the patient using the gloves.","PeriodicalId":90149,"journal":{"name":"CSCW : proceedings of the Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.

Despite its simplicity, it has some limitations in terms of user experience. For example, sometimes it is hard to understand and interpret the textual output of the command. In this paper we describe the limitations of command line interfaces and propose Gracoli1: A graphical command line interface that takes advantage of both text-based interface and graphical user interface to provide better user experience and perform complex tasks. We demonstrate some of the useful applications and features of Gracoli. Sometime such a hybrid system provides and combines the strengths of CLI and GUI to perform specific tasks. We explore some useful applications of Gracoli to create a new kind of user experience. Command line interface makes accessibility faster and Graphical User-Interface makes output more interactive and understandable.","PeriodicalId":90149,"journal":{"name":"CSCW : proceedings of the Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.
