I multimedia and hypermedia systems, the importance of mobile links to a stationary infrastructure and of mobile data terminals is increasing. Current advances in hardware technology for hand-held terminals (for example, display size and resolution, processing capabilities, and power consumption) let multimedia systems be implemented in mobile environments. Nevertheless, to fully reach that goa...

This paper discusses a network-based refueling control system with multiple terminals that achieves the input and display of near-aircraft position, station, centralized console. The can achieve closed-loop flow, automatic fixed amount, collection environmental parameters, such as pipeline pressure, according to aircraft model. Moreover, dynamically parameter information process in real time on...

167 The use of modern video display terminals for communication with a computer has a profound effect on the nature of the resulting dialogs. Screen-oriented interactive programs require a new set of tools, techniques and methods. We report on studies on these topics performed in a computing environment based on standard commercial hardware. The paper describes some of the tools which we have u...

Displaying multiple levels of data visually has been proposed to address the challenge of limited screen space. We review 22 existing multi-level interface studies and cast findings into a fourpoint decision tree: (1) When are multi-level displays useful? (2) What should the higher visual levels display? (3) Should the visual levels be displayed simultaneously? (4) Should the visual levels be e...

Immersive visualization is an emerging research field. It aims to make full use of human perception and operation capabilities through the immersion engagement offered by immersive interface support data analysis, reasoning, decision-making. The latest on reviewed. Firstly, design evaluation visual non-visual in information are introduced. Secondly, newest interaction methods from...

This paper presents NetICE, Networked Intelligent Collaborative Environment, which is a prototype designated to provide an immersive environment to allow people to communicate from anywhere at any time. The NetICE system consists of two components: an intelligent network and smart terminals. The intelligent network allows multiple users to be connected to the same virtual space. The smart termi...

In the last years mobile terminals diffusion has fostered the development of new audio–visual services. Thus the possibility to employ wireless devices to exchange multimedia informations is becoming real. Beyond these attractive motivations, some critical factors are hidden: the design of wireless terminals, in fact, has to deal with limited power budgets and reduced resources availability. Th...

A good display design should make the inaccuracies and limitations of a display technology invisible to the human eye. However, this requires a good understanding of what is and what is not visible to the human eye. For that reason, display engineering is tightly linked to the understanding and modeling of visual perception. Chapter 4 of this book introduced the basic limitations of visual perc...
