Ictus supports the study and preparation of musical scores by semi-novice conductors. It does so by representing the complex analytical processes in which professional conductors routinely engage. Through iterative design and prototyping and with feedback from expert conductors, we have developed a prototyped system for use as a learning tool. This paper presents a brief overview of the complex...

In sustainable design and innovation, appreciation of the Planet as an equal stakeholder with humans businesses continues to rise. Yet a consistent challenge arises in that people have difficulties relating nonhuman interpret world terms human values experiences. We need more practical tools stimulate connection, especially its affective dimension, include stakeholders sustainability developmen...

This paper examines the use of human-centered design in the problem of robot grasping. Human-directed local autonomy is deened. The diierences between a humanoid robot for human service and an industrial robot are discussed. The hardware and software design of a humanoid robot is described. The problem of human-robot interaction is analyzed. The grasping problem is described and a solution prop...

Some people may be laughing when looking at you reading in your spare time. Some may be admired of you. And some may want be like you who have reading hobby. What about your own feel? Have you felt right? Reading is a need and a hobby at once. This condition is the on that will make you feel that you must read. If you know are looking for the book enPDFd user centered interaction design pattern...

In order to design effective and usable search interfaces it is essential to fully understand the characteristics of the users and the tasks they perform. In this paper we describe how to use human-centered approach to design a usable search interface. We first conducted user and task analyses of the application domain--Biomedical Engineers' log notes at NASA Johnson Space Center. From these an...

background: the aim of this study is to develop a new ergonomics chisel based on user centered design approach and to evaluate the effectiveness for reducing awkward posture using catia software for simulation analysis. methods: respondents were selected using purposive sampling – age 18 – 49 years old, men, experience using chisel (>1 month). a set of questionnaire were used to interview worke...

This paper discussed different issues related to the usability of speech interaction system. It includes the usability concept, different design approaches, design process and evaluation questions for speech interaction system. Usability is a very fuzzy concept, especially when it related to the speech interaction system: it is hard to measure and it is very much context dependent. The traditio...

This paper explores patient-centered design (PCD) as a methodology for personalization of software used in rehabilitation of cognitive disabilities. This methodology serves scenarios where clinical priorities, expertise, and services can be factored into socio-technical software design decisions and clinicians explicitly included in the process. The clinical context anticipates the patient’s pr...
