Ahtract We describe an experimental multimedia information system for an office environment which is being developed in the University of Toronto. Multimedia messages are composed of text, image, voice and attribute information. We discuss issues related to internal representation, presentation and cornmunication with the outside world, content addressahility in the various data types, user int...

The number of walkthrough applications and animation programs has been increasing day by day. Nearly all of these programs re-write the code for walking through a world or rotating objects around any axis. There are famous and mostly used algorithms such as Arcball implementation to rotate objects around any axis by any amount. However, there is no library which allows the users to incorporate ...

Eye-trackers are a popular tool for studying cognitive, emotional, and attentional processes in different populations (e.g., clinical and typically developing) and participants of all ages, ranging from infants to the elderly. This broad range of processes and populations implies that there are many inter- and intra-individual differences that need to be taken into account when analyzing eye-tr...

The Common User Interfaces for the ERCIM Technical Reference Digital Library (ETRDL) are described and the underlying motivations for certain design decisions are discussed. The lessons that have been learnt from this experience are outlined and possible future developments are suggested.

Graphical User Interface (GUI) is essential to programming, as is any other characteristic or feature, due to the fact that GUI components provide the fundamental interaction between the user and the program. Thus, we must give more interest to GUI during building and development of systems. Also, we must give a greater attention to the user who is the basic corner in the dealing with the GUI. ...

The use of computer and communication equipment to operate devices remotely introduces new challenges for users and designers. Activation delays, reduced or incomplete feedback, and the increased potential for breakdowns are some of the problems the designers have to deal with. An optimal technical solution to the problems at hand can only be accomplished through a combination of thorough task ...

Each user interface present in WSI software is developed and normalized to different extents across different vendor solutions. Case navigation is the least developed and the least standardized, while also being the interface that demonstrates the least application of UX principles. WSI navigation and analysis/annotation are both more mature in that they are fairly uniform across vendor softwar...

Medication reconciliation is an important and complex task for which careful user interface design has the potential to help reduce errors and improve quality of care. In this paper we focus on the hospital discharge scenario and first describe a novel interface called Twinlist. Twinlist illustrates the novel use of spatial layout combined with multi-step animation, to help medical providers se...

M-advertising is emerging as a new channel of marketing communication The present research study revealed that if advertising messages are sent to the mobile phones of the m-users after getting their permission their attitude would turn positive towards the mobileadvertising. M-users would like to receive the advertising message on their personal devices like mobiles phones if those messages ar...

LifeLines provide a general visualization environment for personal histories. We explore its use for clinical patient records. A Java user interface is described, which presents a one-screen overview of a computerized patient record using timelines. Problems, diagnoses, test results or medications can be represented as dots or horizontal lines. Zooming provides more details; line color and thic...
