Location-Independent Organizations: Designing Collaboration Across Space and Time

Team-Based Design: Collaboration across Time and Space

Rapid advances in mobile computing and wireless communication present an opportunity for fundamental changes in engineering education, particularly for teambased courses in which collaborative learning is the dominant learning mode. This talk describes a collaborative, multi-disciplinary design course and a suite of collaboration tools called Handy Andy, to support team based design. The curren...

Remapping time across space.

Multiple lines of evidence indicate that visual attention's temporal properties differ between the left and right visual fields (LVF and RVF). Notably, recent electroencephalograph recordings indicate that event-related potentials peak earlier for LVF than for RVF targets on bilateral-stream rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) identification tasks. Might this hastened neural response render...

Tuple Space Coordination Across Space & Time

CAST is a coordination model designed to support interactions among agents executing on hosts that make up a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). From an application programmer’s point of view, CAST makes it possible for operations to be executed at arbitrary locations in space, at prescribed times which may be in the future, and on remote hosts even when no end-to-end connected route exists between ...

GazeProjector: Location-independent gaze interaction on and across multiple displays

Mobile gaze-based interaction with multiple displays may occur from arbitrary positions and orientations. However, maintaining high gaze estimation accuracy still represents a significant challenge. To address this, we present GazeProjector, a system that combines accurate point-of-gaze estimation with natural feature tracking on displays to determine the mobile eye tracker’s position relative ...
