At the same time the demand for manual assembly grows. Assistive systems in production environments (ASiPE) have to be augmented to improve the overall performance and reduce skill requirements.\u0000 In this study the prototype of an augmented ASiPE is applied in an experiment with impaired persons. It uses in-situ projection (i.e. the projection of work-relevant information directly into the working space, Figures 1, 8) to cognitively assist users in assembly and to improve their inclusion in regular work processes. The aim is to observe their behavior with this new form of human computer interaction and to empirically quantify the effects on performance both in time and quality.\u0000 The results show that the augmentation has a catalytic effect: The test subjects assembling slowly could not cope with the augmented ASiPE and performed worse than their counterparts without augmentation. The test subjects who worked faster than average assembled the product significantly better, both with respect to time (14.5% reduction) and especially to quality (45.8% error reduction). The ability to access the potential of augmented workplaces seems to be related to a worker' cognitive potential which is not adequately mapped by the competence ratios sheltered work organizations currently use.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

An adaptive dialogue system is responsible for interacting with the user, retrieving his/her intentions and reacting accordingly. Our system is able to learn in real time how to solve complicated tasks by combining solutions to simpler ones, thus reusing previous knowledge. It is also able to effectively plan and execute table top object manipulation, which can have a great impact in the quality of life of an elderly, disabled or injured person.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

This paper describes the design process and implementation of a user interface and device for the elderly for a social networking application. The idea is that people with no previous experience on using computers are able to use the device immediately and that the device is not considered to be a computer. An iterative and user-centred design process is used to ensure that all the needs and views from the users are taken into account. The user interface and the device have been tested in long lasting field trials and the results are presented in this paper. Based on the results the implemented device seems to qualify the needs of elder users.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

Recent advances in health related technologies as well as new modes of patient/provider interaction have created a unique set of novel challenges. Patients often face the daunting task of sifting through large amounts of options when it comes to choosing a medical service provider to receive care from. Several factors including the availability, cost, quality, and physical location of specific services must all be considered by the patient when choosing a provider. In this paper we describe a novel mobile application that allows users to query a database of medical providers to find the set of best possible options tailored to the user's specific needs and situation. The user makes a query by specifying a geographic search range centered on a polyline, and can further filter results by defining constraints such as insurance coverage and treatment cost.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

Building inclusive systems and interfaces that meet user requirements are reported to be key aspects for acceptance of such supportive technologies. Based on a value centered agenda and a participatory design approach, our explorations with senior travelers reveal in which ways senior travelers relate travel assistance to their lifestyles. Our findings from design research studies showed that, senior travelers associate certain values related to travelling and travel assistance, and they want to see these basic values as integrated visual components of such systems. We discuss the identified core values such as `companionship' `local awareness' and `valuing volunteerism' and their relation to designing a travel assistant.","PeriodicalId":91811,"journal":{"name":"The ...

The impersonal analysis evaluated the system behavior when it was trained on several users' data; on the opposite, the subjective analysis evaluated the system when it was specialized on a single subject data. In the impersonal analysis, the accuracy rate was 96.8% for the 10-fold cross-validation and 91.8% for the leave one subject out.
