A primary difficulty when investigating communication requirements rises when a very specific field as an aircraft cabin is considered. The diverse needs of passengers are often incompatible to the strict constraints inside the cabin. Nowadays, In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems, for instance, are widely spread in modern flights. An IFE system usually consists of a Seat Electronic Box, the p...

We study how a viewer can control a television set remotely by hand gestures. We address two fundamental issues of gesture{based human{computer interaction: (1) How can one communicate a rich set of commands without extensive user training and memorization of gestures? (2) How can the computer recognize the commands in a complicated visual environment? Our solution to these problems exploits th...

In this study, an online experiment was developed for sub-degree students at remote locations to control and obtain real-time measurements or experimental data. Online video is set up for better visual impact of what is going on in the remote site. The intention of this Web-based laboratory package is to make the experiment more interactive, attractive, and easily accessed. Background knowledge...

This contribution presents a learning scenario in which online learning is connected with live-experiments in mechanical engineering for different manufacturing technologies. The experiments are remote-controlled and monitored by the learner within physical-real laboratories in three European cities. The aim is to design a technical platform including remote controlled, distance-observed experi...

Remote method invocation in Java RMI allows the flow of control to pass across local Java threads and thereby span multiple virtual machines. However, the resulting distributed threads do not strictly follow the paradigm of their local Java counterparts for at least three reasons: Firstly, the absence of a global thread identity causes problems when reentering monitors. Secondly, blocks synchro...

This paper represents how your PC and Laptop can be controlled from with your T.V remote with the help of Frontend Application. It means the conventional PC mouse operations controlled by using T.V Remote. It turns your Remote into a wireless mouse and don’t need any surface. It requires Forntend application on your computer. This is an implementation of RC5-remote reception on an 8051 micro co...
