This paper describes the design, development and evaluation of the Microarray Time-Series Explorer (MaTSE), a novel information visualization application for the exploratory analysis of large scale microarray timeseries data. The software combines a variety of visualization and interaction techniques, which work together to allow biologists to explore their data and reveal patterns that would otherwise...
Earth Girl is the story of an Asian girl who can save her family and friends from natural hazards. The story is being developed as a computer game and an animated short. This paper presents the design philosophy and progress report on the single level game prototype, one that is meant to help players gain a better understanding of natural hazards through imaginative and fun game play. Earth Girl the...
Potential of nonverbal communication as the communication medium between multiuser 3D virtual worlds and real environment are attracting the interest of many researchers around the world. Driven by the motivation, we explored the possibilities of integrating haptic interactions with Linden Lab's multiuser online virtual world, Second Life. We developed an add-on to the Second Life communication channel...
Screen transition and animation has long been used to represent information, cues and to enhance visual appeals on screen presentation. However, the use of screen transition and animation on mobile application has been restricted in the past due to mobile device constraints. Recent development of more powerful devices has sparked interest in implementing animation technique to improve usability on...
The different perspectives stakeholders and requirements engineers have on a problem are a major hindrance to derive useful requirements. While formal requirements models are well suited for excluding inconsistent requirements, prototypes presented to stakeholders are very effective to ensure valid requirements. In this position paper we report about our vision to combine both approaches in form of...
The "Reminiscing View" is a visualization system for browsing hierarchically organized photo and video-clip collections. The current Reminiscing View prototype supports browsing of hierarchical temporal event clusters. Users simply upload their pictures and video clips to a server and their collection is automatically clustered into hierarchical temporal events. They can then browse events...
Developing sustainable urban environments is complex as it requires consideration of interacting social, economic and environmental sustain ability factors. The task is made even more difficult by the wide variety of stakeholders (e.g. planners, architects, businesses and the public) that may be involved in the process and the lack of a common language for all to understand. This paper describes a...
The research presented in this paper aims at developing and validating a predictive tool of individual exposure to solar Ultra-Violet (UV). UV exposure depends on ambient irradiation level and individual factors related to activity (position to the sun, clothing, duration of exposure, and other forms of sun protection). We predict exposure levels of body parts on basis of ambient irradiation levels...
Human hair has significant effect on the life-likeness of human portrait and human recognition. In this paper, we present a classified method of human hair for hair sketching. We extract shape and appearance features from the training data of hair, including hair raw images and their corresponding sketching templates. Based on these features, we learn twenty-four hairstyles. Given a human hair raw...
