We present MathPaper, a system for fluid pen-based entry and editing of mathematics with support for interactive computation. MathPaper provides a paper-like environment in which multiple mathematical expressions and even algorithms can be entered anywhere on the page. Mathematical expressions can also be modified using simple deletion and dragging gestures with real-time recognition and comput...

1. ABSTRACT The concept of reality-based interaction has provided the research community an “hook” for discussing the future of humancomputer interfaces. In this position paper, I call for extending the discussion beyond issues of task performance, to other aspects of the human experience. I share high-level findings from my empirical studies of AR Façade, an immersive and interactive drama, an...

In this paper we present a web kiosk framework based on Kinect sensor. The main idea is to use the framework for creation of simple interactive presentations for informing, advertising and presenting knowledge to the public. The use of such a framework simplifies adaptation of existing web materials for presentation with the kiosk. We can also make use of touchless interaction for browsing thro...

Instantaneous streamlines are commonly used to visualize particle paths in steady flows. It is shown, however, that streaklines are often more appropriate for unsteady flows. The typical size of unsteady flow simulations makes interactive visualization difficult if not impossible. Two common approaches for visualizing unsteady flows are described. The advantages and disadvantages of each are di...

This paper describes an environment for editing and performing interactive media art/entertainment. The design background is to provide artistic/entertainment pieces, in which multiple people can participate without special sensory equipment. This paper introduces a gesture input function using color tags in the image and some matching functions to be used for writing a piece. This paper shows ...

this study aimed at evaluating some quantitative and qualitative properties of potato as one of the main commercial products in iran. to this end, a split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete bloke design with silicone and iron was carried out in jiroft as one of the commercial area of planting potatoes. the main factor included different levels of silicon (0, 10, 20, 30 mm.l-1) ...

the implicit rhetorical features of academic writing which has so far eluded a comprehensive systematic characterization have made teaching it a challenging task for a large group of practitioners in academic setting. one such feature of academic writing susceptible to cultural mentalities is metadiscourse marking, which is supposed to be one of the important rhetorical aspects in the writing p...

background & aim: modifications in learning systems based on the concepts of self-efficacy and self-esteem are among the suggested strategies to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two interactive educational workshops with or without standardized patients (sps) on midwifery students' self-efficacy in providing sexual health cou...

Automatism will be incorporated in interactive media art, of which the ultimate aim is audience participation, to provide an extended experience for audience to interact with the work in unconsciousness. This thesis suggests that applying automatism of surrealism to Kinect will expand the access to art for audience and avoid being limited to a simple and short-term amusement. Based on surrealis...
