Although research on wearable computing is in fashion, few researches pay attentions on interface of wearable computers. This paper presents “Hand-Menu” System”, an innovative input interface suitable for wearable computers, utilizing augmented realty techniques. Users can handle wearable computers by clicking a menu activated simply activated with exposed hand with another hand. As Hand-Menu i...

This investigation examined the mixed effects of visual input enhancement, explicit instruction, pushed output, and corrective feedback on noticing and intake of English conjunctive adverbs. Participants included 83 intermediate EFL students enrolled in a grammar and writing course. They were assigned to a control group (n = 22), explicit instruction + pushed output + explicit corrective feedba...

We developed original solenoid actuator units with several built-in sensors, and produced a box-shaped musical interface “PocoPoco” using 16 units of them as a universal input/output device. We applied up-and-down movement of the solenoid-units and user’s intuitive input to musical interface. Using transformation of the physical interface, we can apply movement of the units to new interaction d...

The relative gain array (RGA) and condition number are commonly used tools in controllability analysis. In this paper we present new results that link these measures to control performance, measured in terms of the output sensitivity function with input and output uncertainty.

This is the fourth year for the minitrack on Multimedia Information Systems at the Annual Hawaii International Conference o presence of this minitrack r recent proliferation of multimedia applications. This proliferation has been driven by technological advances resulting in dramatic decreases in price/perfonnance ratios in processing and storage technologies, video and audio input/output devic...

This study aimed at investigating the relative impact of comprehensible input and comprehensible output on the development of grammatical accuracy and syntactic complexity of Iranian EFL learners’ oral production. Participants were 60 female EFL learners selected from a whole population pool of 80 based on the standard test of IELTS. To investigate the research questions, the participants were ...
