Supporting the development of electrophysiologically interactive computer systems
New interactive computing applications are continually being developed in a bid to support peopleís changing work and recreational activities. As research focuses on one particular class of interactive systems, high level models of interaction are formulated and requirements emerge that reflect …

Conversation analysis in interactive computer system design
… for, and the aims of, this study. The design of interactive computer systems is an enterprise quite distinct from the design of other artefacts: design, or inventing a pattern, for interactive computer systems is a matter of design for use.HCI research has recognised the need for a user-centred …

The application of manifold based visual speech units for visual speech recognition
… role in the development of many multimedia systems such as audio visual speech recognition(AVSR), mobile phone applications, human-computer interaction (HCI) and sign language recognition. The inclusion of the lip visual information is opportune since it can improve the overall accuracy of …

An alternative audio web browsing solution: viewing web documents through a tree structural approach
This thesis examines methods to aid in the non-visual browsing of web based documcnts, primarily using synthetic speech output. The serial nature of speech ensures that it is a difficult medium in which to browse documents. Much of the structure implied in the visual appearance of the content is …

AN ARCHITECTURE FOR DIALOGUE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS (FRAMEWORK, MODELING DYNAMIC, METHODOLOGY).
The management of man-computer dialogues involves policies, procedures, and methodologies that enable users and designers to control, monitor, and enhance the user-computer interface. Effective dialogue management can be facilitated by a computer-aided work-bench of dialogue management tools that …

Some new results on the stabilization and state estimation in large-scale systems by decentralized and multilevel schemes.
… concerned with the stabilization of large-scale systems by a decentralized control. The fundamental idea behind this type of control is the stabilization of the isolated subsystems of a large-scale system in such a way that the global stability requirement is also satisfied. For this purpose, a …

Generating realistic, animated human gestures in order to model, analyse and recognize Irish Sign Language
The aim of this thesis is to generate a gesture recognition system which can recognize several signs of Irish Sign Language (ISL). This project is divided into three parts. The first part provides background information on ISL. An overview of the ISL structure is a prerequisite to identifying and …

GDI: (Goal Directed Interface): An intelligent, iconic, object-oriented interface for office systems
… approach to the user interface for office systems. The primary objectives of the approach are to create an interface that (1) requires little user training and (2) tries to perform higher level task activities (ex. 'schedule a meeting') that have been excluded from computerization in the …

User interface design for keyframe-based content browsing of digital video
… home entertainment. However, most digital video systems so far have been developed based on technologically based ideas and possibilities, thus providing very little usability and poorly designed user interfaces. Having no long-term user base or usage context make it difficult to develop a new …

Digital life stories: Semi-automatic (auto)biographies within lifelog collections
Our life stories enable us to reflect upon and share our personal histories. Through emerging digital technologies the possibility of collecting life experiences digitally is increasingly feasible; consequently so is the potential to create a digital counterpart to our personal narratives. In this …
