Augmented Reality (AR) applications running on mobile devices have become more popular in recent years. As with digital games, many developers have begun to direct their applications to mobile platforms, although the processing power of these devices is usually smaller when compared to the computing power of laptops and desktops. Applications developed for computing devices, including mobile devices,...
Volume data representations are widely used in many different domains including medical imaging. Here, they are primarily accessed using WIMP interfaces on desktop PCs, while the use of handheld mobile devices to browse volume data is widely ignored. In this work, we present Volume Lens, an approach for displaying volume datasets on mobile hardware by implementing a novel interface that turns the...
The health status of women and children is considered as a reflection of the present society and a predictor of the future generations. Unfortunately, numerous challenges emanating from poverty, inadequate resources, illiteracy and cultural barriers contribute to poor health and high mortality rate in low-resource settings. To address these challenges, there are numerous mHealth interventions seeking...
"Origami", a Japanese traditional handicraft work, is the very popular art for Japanese. Its Japanesque beauty also has a high rating abroad. It is considered that "gOrigami" is a mysterious culture and a characteristic of Japan. In this study, we create the prototype of the 3D system by using a smartphone. We also evaluate the system and examine the utility.
Various networking applications and systems must be tested before the final deployment. Many of the tests are performed on network testbeds such as Emulab, PlanetLab, etc. These testbeds are large in scale and organize devices in relatively fixed ways. It is difficult for them to incorporate the latest personalized devices, such as smart watches, smart glasses and other emerging gadgets, so they tend...
The development of information systems, which support homework in the context of therapeutic interventions, has not been sufficiently addressed so far. However, both therapists and patients crave for a mobile assistance managing complex homework procedures. For example, smart mobile devices can automatically inform therapists about corresbonding outcomes, giving them the opportunity to timely adjust...
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that augments the real physical world with computer-generated 3D virtual objects such that the users can interact with them using the screen of their mobile devices. This paper studies how to effectively use AR to enhance the learning experience of kindergarten students, while addressing parents' concern that a long-time usage of electronic devices may affect...
This paper showcases attachable/detachable haptic modules, nicknamed haptic enchanters, by presenting their conceptual prototypes and quantifying their information transmission capacity. Haptic enchanters can be attached to ordinary devices and wearables to endow them with the ability of creating programmable haptic stimuli, thereby transforming them to effective haptic communication devices. In particular,...
The purpose of this research is to build an educational prototype for attracting high school seniors and college students to pursue university degrees. The prototype entails demonstrable hardware and software comprising of a set of communication nodes with call priorities, which are used to help educate students on future and practical implications of spectrum sharing. Two objectives are achieved...
Many people today spend much time on using computers and mobile phones. Without proper lighting, such behavior may hurt their eyesight. There are several studies using sensors for light control, but they require users to give desired illumination. However, users may have no idea what values of illumination they need for reading. It motivates us to propose an automatic and adaptive light control (A2LC)...
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the key enablers for including underserved communities in economic and societal development across the world. Our research analyzes several banking service projects developing technical solutions for rural India. This poster presents an experience report based on systematic debriefing of involved project leaders and initiators, triangulated...
The development of remote control technology has grown rapidly along with the development of communication technology nowadays. The simplest communication technology available is by using GSM protocol. In this paper, a prototype of electric appliance control tool via SMS by using GSM is proposed. GSM protocol was chosen because it does not depend on mobile devices' platform. GSM SIM 900 and Arduino...
Smartphones have become essential to modern day living, almost like a sixth sense to the human being. Touchscreen display for user input is the norm in Smartphones. However, this is a huge inconvenience for the visually challenged users. The available solutions to this problem are quite expensive and therefore not affordable to all sections of this disadvantaged community. We have successfully developed...
This article presents a compact multi-layer handset phone 13.56 MHz NFC antenna design by novel LITA (Laser-Induced Integrated Thin-Film Antenna) technologies, which is jointly developed by ITRI and ACON in Taiwan. Through the proposed LITA technology, metal layouts of antennas can be formed on the internal surface of a smartwatch casing successfully with conformal, thin-film type, multi-layer and...
Modern mobile devices, especially smartphones, are widely equipped with cameras, which enable their owners to capture every memorable moment or scenery, such as parties with friends. However, significant privacy concerns are posed by the potential possibility of revealing a large amount of privacy contained by photos, e.g., portrait of a person. World Driven Access Control (WDAC) [1], which triggered...
Malay traditional music is a Malaysian heritage that needs to be preserved to maintain the identity of Malaysia. However, these kinds of music especially caklempong traditional music is still unfamiliar among the younger generation. Traditional music has facing an issue since generation nowadays is preferred on popular music rather than these kinds of music. Therefore, this research was aimed to preserve...
The design, modeling, and experimental results of buck-symmetric as proposed for wireless power system are presented in this paper. The systems is based on complementary activate of two Buck converters operating to 500 kHz, by energize a resonant circuit tuned to 100 kHz. The converter arises from a proposal of wireless power transmission for efficient charging of bank-ultracapacitor. The appropriate...
Kinesthetic information is beneficial in detecting, recognizing, and interpreting haptic objects in virtual space. Unfortunately, kinesthetic feedback requires linkage-based high-powered multi-dimensional manipulators, such as exoskeletons or robotic arms, which are currently not possible to integrate with mobile devices. To overcome this challenge, we describe a novel system that is able to apply...

WebCL is a browser version of the Khronos OpenCL standard. It allows a web browser to exploit GPU and CPU for parallel processing by embedding OpenCL kernel code into JavaScript code, which leads to significant speedups of compute-intensive applications such as physics and image processing. This paper presents a working prototype of WebCL-enabled browser that runs on Android-powered mobile devices,...
