We are artists working on the creation of interactive computer installations that combine interactive graphic generation with state-of-the-art interface design. When creating our interactive systems we often invent new technologies and interfaces that fit the conceptual content of the particular interactive installation. While our main focus is to design interactive systems for the art context ...

Digital media offers great possibilities to present cultural heritage: visitors can interactively explore content and the content can be dynamically presented according to the situation in the exhibition. For instance, little content may be presented in larger letters if the visitor is standing far away from the exhibit, but if the visitor is coming closer, a larger body of content can be prese...

Modern multimedia presentations are aggregations of objects with different types such as video and audio. Due to the importance of facial actions and expressions in verbal and non-verbal communication, the authors have proposed “face multimedia object” as a new higher-level media type that encapsulates all the requirements of facial animation for a face-based multimedia presentations within one...

I. Abstract Current Adaptive Web Information Systems suffer from several problems such as cold-start, inaccuracy of the user model and difference in the semantics of the end-users and the authors. To tackle these problems, we propose an OWL-based framework for interactive user modeling in information systems on Semantic Web. The interactive user modeling approach is implemented as OWL-OLM and i...

This study compared the effectiveness of different learning environments between interactive Facebook instructional method and non-Facebook instructional method for undergraduate students. Two outcome dimensions were measured: student grades and learning engagement. A preprest-posttest control group experimental design was used. The experimental group (n= 134) received the interactive Facebook ...

BACKGROUND The recent growth in organized efforts to advance dissemination and implementation (D & I) science suggests a rapidly expanding community focused on the adoption and sustainment of evidence-based practices (EBPs). Although promising for the D & I of EBPs, the proliferation of initiatives is difficult for any one individual to navigate and summarize. Such proliferation may also result...

An eLearning website is described for the design and analysis of experiments, with particular application to chemistry research. Interactive learning content is provided via the R statistical software. Authentic chemistry examples, which make use of simulation and data analysis routines in the software, demonstrate the application of the statistical methods. We outline the content of the websit...
