CyARM : Interactive Device for Environment Recognition Using a Non-Visual Modality

CyARM - Interactive Device for Environment Recognition Using a Non-visual Modality

The purpose of this research is to develop an interactive device for environment recognition, which uses senses other than vision. At present there is no interactive device with which a person who is visually handicapped can gain an intuitive impression of the external world. Our device, which we have named CyARM, has a mechanism that controls the motion of a visually impaired person's arm acco...

Interactive Visual Pattern Recognition

Computer Assisted Visual Interactive Recognition (CAVIAR) draws on sequential pattern recognition, image database, expert systems, pen computing, and digital camera technology. It is designed to recognize wild flowers and other families of similar objects more accurately than machine vision and faster than most laypersons. The novelty of the approach is that human perceptual ability is exploite...

A Visual Programming Environment for Composing Interactive Performance Systems

Based on a multimedia application framework a visual programming environment was built, that allows non-programmers to compose objects offered in the core framework without having to learn a programming language. Although having similarities with Opcode/IRCAM Max, our visual programming environment has some significant differences: Its connections are bi-directional, other media than MIDI, such...

VCME: A Visual Interactive Environment for Computational Modeling Systems

In previous work, we have described the concept of a computational modeling system (CMS) that is based on a comprehensive conceptualization of scientific modeling activities. A CMS involves an integrated computational modeling environment (CME), that embodies this conceptualization and in which a scientist may carry out, at an appropriate level of abstraction, any operation involved in the proc...
