The use of technology can be seen as an innovative challenge to restructure the teaching-learning process and integrate ICT in independent, collaborative and interactive work. The thoughts of 32 teachers and 36 students vis-à-vis a Course Management System from five undergraduate courses were analysed. A systematic content analysis was merged with a multivariate analysis. The results seem to re...

Evaluation of experimental digital narrative often focuses on the overall user experience. While this is important, we recognise the need for more granular forms of evaluation to measure the e cacy of individual digital narrative delivery techniques. These continue to grow in variety as authors explore di erent approaches to telling stories using interactive media. In this paper we propose a mu...

In this chapter, the authors describe a co-design process and the implementation requirements of an interactive interior design service system. To gain design information for the system, they study two focus groups composed of designers, bloggers, and serious amateurs in the field of interior design – the estimated critical users of the forthcoming service system. The framework for the co-desig...

Internet-based interactive TV is an emerging field affected by advances in various research areas including communication, interactivity, network efficiency, content management and aesthetics. Despite constantly reducing costs in the area of broadcast infrastructure development, this new medium has yet to claim its market position and recognition. The large marketshare of existing non-interacti...

Museums must balance the amount of information given on individual pieces or exhibitions in order to provide sufficient information to aid visitor understanding. At the same time they must avoid cluttering the environment and reducing the enjoyment of the exhibit. Moreover, each visitor has different interests and each might prefer more (or less) information on different artworks depending on t...

Content-based image retrieval is quickly becoming the most common method of searching vast databases for images, giving researchers a lot room to develop new techniques and systems. Likewise, another application in field computer vision content-based visual information retrieval. For video retrieval, text-based search Web-based reranking have been methods. Though Content Based Video Systems imp...
