In this paper we describe a new e-service provisioning model based on digital TV as the most familiar way to favor digital inclusion (e-inclusion) and social inclusion and to reduce the digital gap between elderly and disabled people and the information society. Different D-TV platforms are considered and several input and output interfaces for user interaction are analyzed and tested. Finally, a...
In the paper current results of a project devoted to industrial implementation of Intelligent Manufacturing System (IMS) for small and medium production companies are presented. Current work is concentrated on designing and creating hardware and software infrastructure as well as human system interface (HSI). So far, hardware for a factory floor level has been selected, a preliminary industrial testbed...
Recent research in orthopedic surgeries indicates that computer-assisted robotic systems have shown that robots can improve the precision and accuracy of the surgery which in turn leads to better long-term outcomes. An orthopedic robotic system called OrthoRoby and an intelligent control architecture that will be used in bone cutting operations are developed. A medical user interface (MUI) is developed...
We are currently witnessing an increasing attention to issues related to Accessibility, which should eliminate, or at least reduce, the distance between disabled people and technology. However, particularly for severely-impaired persons, there are still many challenges that must be overcome. In this paper we present eye tracking as a valuable support for disability in the accomplishment of hands-free...
With the dramatic increase of network bandwidth and decrease of network latency and because of development of new network programming technologies, the dynamic websites provide dynamic interaction to the end user and at the same time implement asynchronous client-server communication in the background. Many applications are being deployed through the computer and are becoming more popular and are...
This paper presents image-based finger pose measurement for hand user interface. The aim of this measurement technique is to make a better user interface enabling three dimensional operation by hand. The measurement technique uses stereo vision, and approximates the hand motion based on anatomical constraints. Distinctive feature of the measurement technique is usage of ring markers, which enable...
Patients with a tremor find it often very difficult to handle IT Systems and therefore attain very low levels of efficiency when doing so. The currently available user interfaces do not guarantee a sufficient precision when data input and selection is performed. People suffering from a intention tremor observe a significant increase in their tremor when approaching their input “destination” on the...
Social tagging is an innovative and powerful mechanism introduced with Web 2.0: it shifts the task of classifying resources from a reduced set of knowledge engineers to the wide set of Web users. Users of social tagging systems define personal classifications which can be used by other peers for browsing available resources. However, due to the absence of rules for managing the tagging process, and...
Usability valuation of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) system requires statistical and computational approach rather standard user-experience based methods such as user focus-group surveys or moderated user tests with predefined scenarios. This paper includes the usability valuation experiment of example SOA/SOKU system and further description of processing and analysis of the result data gained...
