Facial Analysis From Continuous Video With Application to Human -Computer Interface
The algorithm described in this thesis for embedded face and facial expression recognition is based on a novel probabilistic framework. In this novel framework, faces are modeled not only by their appearance, but also by the spatio-temporal deformation pattern of their expressions. Face recognition …

The contribution of 3-D sound to the human-computer interface
Sound inherently has a spatial quality, an ability to be localized in three dimensions. This is the essence of 3-D, or spatial, sound. A system capable of recording sounds as digitized samples and playing them back in a localized fashion was developed in the course of this research. This sound …

Timetrees: a branching-time structure for modeling activity and state in the human-computer interface
… reflecting a behavioral view of the interface—a view centered on user activities and the system activities and states perceived by the user. While behavioral representations exist, there is no behavioral model of interaction between a user and a system. Such a model is necessary for …

The structure and development of human-computer interfaces
… implementing, testing, and modifying interactive human-computer systems. As in the early stages of software engineering development, current approaches to human-computer interface design are ad hoc, unstructured, and incomplete. The primary goal of this research has been to develop a structural, …
