The physical design of a robot suggests expectations that robot’s functionality for human users and collaborators. When those align with the true capabilities, are more likely to adopt technologies their intended use. However, relationship between socially interactive is not well understood. This paper applies concept metaphors contributes Metaphors Understanding Functional Social Anticipated A...

To date, research in image retrieval has focused on the underlying retrieval algorithms, while little research has been focused on the many aspects pertaining to user expectations, user actions and user experiences. It is here postulated that ultimately, it is the user who decides the quality of an image retrieval system based on a match between his/her expectations and system performance. This...

OBJECTIVE Two studies were conducted to develop an understanding of factors that drive user expectations when navigating between discrete elements on a display via a limited degree-of-freedom cursor control device. BACKGROUND For the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle spacecraft, a free-floating cursor with a graphical user interface (GUI) would require an unachievable level of accuracy due to ex...

Health institutions invest huge amounts in Information Systems (IS). Despite the huge budgets of investments, it is estimated that nearly 60-70% of Information Technology (IT) implementation projects fail in healthcare. In the literature, success factors and the failure reasons have largely been discussed. One of these, both in failure reasons and success factors, is the User Expectations. Expe...
