New Human-computer Interaction Techniques for the Digital Library

We present our approach to developing new interaction techniques that users could someday use for reading the information in a digital library. Specifically, we focus on techniques for communicating spatial information as an ancillary aspect of text material in the library, without distracting from the main reading task. We use a "lightweight" or "non-command" user interface that follows the us...

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...

Visitor Orientation: Human-Computer Interaction in Digital Places

The thesis presents a visitor-oriented perspective on human-computer interaction and offers it as an alternative or complement to user-orientation. The thesis reports from studies of visitors in digital environments with strong connotations of place. The main findings are that visitors have unique needs going beyond usability needs. They are concerned with environmental sterility/richness They ...
