Multimodal user interface (MUI) allows users to interact with a computer system through multiple human-computer communication channels or modalities. Users have the freedom to choose one or more modalities at the same time. MUI is especially important in mobile devices due to the limited display and keyboard size. In this chapter, we provide a survey of the MUI design in mobile technology with ...

This paper describes an innovative approach to teaching about human-computer interaction to a large class of students in their third year of a Computer Science major. Because of the tight time constraints on the course and the student’s learning preferences and orientation, we have created a course which interweaves the learning of several programming tools for interface construction with the d...

The DoD widely uses airborne computer generated forces (CGFs) in simulation environments, however most CGFs are not autonomous or interactive enough to be directed naturally by a human controller. Full simulation capability requires detailed, doctrinally correct CGFs that can be controlled directly by airspace managers, such as air traffic controllers, air traffic services, or even ground comma...

Throughout the world, computer users approach a computer system with a specific set of cultural requirements. In all cultures, they expect computer systems to accommodate their needs. A major part of interaction with computers occurs through written language. Cultural requirements, particularly written languages, influence the way computer systems must operate. Cultural differences concerning n...

Computer and Internet based services are increasingly provided to users in our days. The users are also increasing exponentially and it is obvious that they are not experienced in the use of computers. This paper examines the problem of user friendly web based service interfaces and proposes a new kind of interface. This interface is called a Virtual Interface and is thoroughly presented. The V...

The third industrial revolution facilitated the rapid development of Tangible User Interface (TUI) in Internet of Things (IOT). The concept of TUI broke through the limitation of traditional Graphical User Interface (GUI). By giving objects digital information, the objects in our daily life can be transformed to the tangible interfaces between human and the digital world. Fully using daily life...

Members of a development team, often from diverse backgrounds, bring a different perspective on how to design and produce a user interface for a computer system. However, these experts are coming to agree that a good interface is crucial to the success of the system, because to the user, the interface is the system. This paper discusses my experiences as a member of a development team and provi...

The use of modern computers and software by the visually handicapped has become more difficult over the past few years. In earlier systems the user interface was a simple character based environment. In those systems, simple devices like screen readers~ braille output and speech synthesizers were effective. Current systems now run Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) which have rendered these simpl...
