The project investigates the potential benefits of multimodal user interfaces for blind students. A multimodal user interface uses the combination of two or more different human senses to interact with computers. The work focused on finding the needs of the interaction model for blind students by using different human modalities, so that they perceive and control information in efficient and ef...

The growth of end-user computing and the trend toward the use of packaged software have focused greater attention on issues related to user support. A varied user population is requiring more tailored support, yet vendor-supplied software with a generic interface is increasingly being used. Four case studies illustrate ways in which organizational forms of support can enhance or overcome the li...

This thesis presents a novel multimodal interface for directing the actions of computer animated characters and camera movements. Our system can recognize human voice input combined with mouse pointing to generate desired character animation based on motion capture data. We compare our voice-driven system with a button-driven animation interface that has equivalent capabilities. An informal use...

Interface agents are computer programs that learn users’ preferences to provide them personalized assistance with their computer-based tasks. In order to personalize the interaction with users, interface agents must learn how to best interact with each user and how to provide them assistance of the right sort at the right time. Particularly, an interface agent has to discover when the user need...

This thesis investigates the necessity for, feasibility and construction of non-visual user interfaces to improve computer access for the visually impaired. The senses of hearing and touch are both appropriate for non-visual human-computer interaction, and this report presents and analyses different ways to use these senses to access a modern graphical user interface. A set of guidelines for th...

Human-computer interaction in traditional application development is focused on the interaction between tasks and a single user interface designed for a single kind of user. A logical evolution should lead interaction to a development model where user skills and preferences are taken into account. In this paper, we introduce preference metrics and performance metrics as parameters that enable u...

The question of the functional organization interfaces end-user interaction with «Equant Cloud» computer system is considered. On basis analysis technologi-cal process its functioning in order to ensure performance functions preparation, carrying out calculations activity options on electric energy market and processing data calculation results, main typical operations were formulated, which in...

Mathematical Knowledge can be encoded by means of Open Mathematical Documents (OMDoc) to interface both Computer Algebra and Proof Assistant systems. In this paper, we show how a unique OMDoc structure can be used to dynamically generate, both a Graphical User Interface for a Computer Algebra system and a script for a Proof Assistant. So, the OMDoc format can be used for representing different ...

User interfaces are becoming critical to the success of software products. However, de~igning and evaluating user interfaces is difficult and time-consuming. There are many reasons why a focus on the user interface is important and why user interface design and evaluation are inherently difficult tasks (1). The importance of a focus on human-computer interaction has been recognized by industry,...

The analysis of the current integration attempts of some modes and use cases of user-machine interaction is presented. The new concept of the user-driven intelligent interface is proposed on the basis of multimodal augmented reality and brain-computer interaction for various applications: in disabilities studies, education, home care, health care, etc. The several use cases of multimodal augmen...
