In this paper we present some solutions we have devised to improve eye pointing in ordinary PC use. While eye tracking technology has advanced considerably in the last years, several limitations prevent gaze-based interaction from becoming as comfortable and effective as traditional mouse or touchpad input. The proposed approach combines both automatic and manual error correction techniques (namely...
The paper covers design principles and creation methods of several reconfigurable computer systems based on FPGAs of the Xilinx Virtex family. A method of structural procedural organization of computations in reconfigurable computer systems and its practical realization for their programming are considered. There are given technical parameters and design features of several computer systems based...
Electroencephalograph (EEG) based BCI (Brain-Computer Interfacing) paradigm has become a research topic in computer science and, in particular, human-computer interaction. In this paradigm, BCI applications have been largely focused on improving the quality of life for both able-bodied users as well as users with special needs. Despite the fact that low-cost off-the-shelf EEG headsets are becoming...
The process of modernization, development and migration have much impacted the family size, functions and structure which consequently changing the ways of family communication. Therefore, communication technologies such as Social Network Sites (SNSs) are increasingly being used within family settings to support and extend the family relationships. Thus, the objective of this paper is to develop a...
This paper investigates the role of Parliamentary oversight over the Cyber Security health and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) of a country, with special reference to Developing Countries. The paper argues that such oversight is especially important in Developing Countries where citizens and companies are venturing into cyber space at great speed and are often not as aware of...
In the technological world in which we live, access to the Internet is no longer a luxury. Rather, it is a necessity and a lifeline to many. The Internet is used, amongst other things for obtaining information, for doing business and for social networking. However, along with increases in cyber activity come increases in cyber threats, attacks and incidents. Many home users are not technology savvy...
Studying eye movement has proven to be useful in the study of detecting and understanding human emotional states. This paper aims to investigate eye movement features: pupil size, time of first fixation, first fixation duration, fixation duration and fixation count in clips emotional stimulation. Thirty seven subjects' pupil responses were measured while watching two pleasant and unpleasant emotional...
To effectively reduce and deal with the adverse effects from the recycling of e-wastes, there is the need to employ appropriate technologies. Presently in Nigeria, technological and infrastructural efforts employed to collect and recycle e-waste materials are insufficient, unhealthy, and unscientific. Consequently, there is an urgent need for an in-depth evaluation and modification of the current...
