Culture is a field that currently entering revolutionary phase, no longer being privilege for the few, but expanding to new audiences who are urged not only passively consume cultural heritage content, actually participate and assimilate it on their own. In this context, museums have already embraced technologies as part of exhibitions, many them featuring augmented or virtual reality artifacts. The presented work proposes synthesis augmented, mixed provide unified X-Reality experiences in...
‘User Experience’ (UX) is a term that has been established in HCI research and practice, subsuming the ‘usability’. UX denotes interaction with contemporary technological system goes far beyond usability, extending to one’s emotions before, during, after using cannot be defined only by studying fundamental usability attributes of effectiveness, efficiency user satisfaction. Measuring becomes substantially more complicated endeavor when target not just or application, but an entire...
Real-time and vision-based quality control for industrial processes has drawn great interest from both scientists practitioners, particularly following the transition to Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) Industry 4.0. Despite considerable progress, most ZDM approaches focus on accuracy of inspection process, often neglecting critical factors application in shop floor. On one hand, near real-time methods are needed early defect detection containment. other data scarcity is an issue causing AI...
This paper describes the motivation, framework, concepts, method, implementation, and results of HCII2023 Design Café, a dedicated participatory highly interactive design workshop held in Copenhagen July 2023. Motivated by ubiquitous challenges our world is facing, this initiative had goal to explore six main issues from an interdisciplinary perspective with focus on UN SDG 11: "Sustainable Cities Communities" HCI Grand Challenge 2 "Human-Environment Interactions." The were formulated as...
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their caregivers face daily challenges which can adversely affect well-being, especially regarding communication within care ecosystems, comprising family, friends, educators, therapists. To foster among children ecosystem support we created REMEMO, a mobile app that was iteratively designed evaluated by actively involving ADHD caregivers. REMEMO supports both individual collaborative use, offering tailored features for...
In this work, a novel computational approach for the dynamic adaptation of User Interfaces (UIs) is proposed, which aims at enhancing Situational Awareness (SA) users by leveraging current context and providing most useful information, in an optimal efficient manner. By combining Ontology modeling reasoning with Combinatorial Optimization, system decides <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">what</i> information to present,...
Video games are maturing as a medium to tell stories inspired by historical struggles and real-life experiences. In this regard, they could work mechanism in Transitional Justice pursuit. article, we argue that can become agents for promoting education, reconciliation, healing. We hence identify means which museums video create empathy, reported recent literature, draw inceptive parallels between museum space design philosophies choices modern game Finally, the literature there is lack of...
Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) can be described as the set of methodologies and strategies for elimination defective components during production, is one main goals Industry 4.0. ZDM very appealing to industries grace reduction operational costs associated with components. Efficient defect detection in modern production lines may benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies numerous stages manufacturing process. This paper presents a short review AI employed product inspection...
Background: Augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) are highly disruptive technologies that have revolutionised practices in a wide range of domains, including the security sector. Several law enforcement agencies (LEAs) employ AI their daily operations for forensics surveillance. AR is also gaining traction security, particularly with advent affordable wearable devices. Equipping police officers tools to facilitate an elevated situational awareness (SA) patrolling tactical...
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) environments bring significant potential to exploit sophisticated computer technology in everyday life. In particular, the educational domain could be significantly enhanced through AmI, as personalized and adapted learning transformed from paper concepts prototypes real-life scenarios. this paper, an integrated framework is presented, named ClassMATE, supporting ubiquitous computing communication a school classroom. The main objective of ClassMATE enable pervasive...
5G will lay the foundations for mainstream broadband wireless technology of next decade, a leverage toward ensuring efficiency, effectiveness and adaptability everyday high-demanding operations, such as those in Public Protection Disaster Relief. The ITU considers LTE-Advanced systems mission critical PPDR able to address needs MC intelligence, providing support voice, data video services an IMT radio interface. In this paper, we introduce 5G-EPICENTRE, innovation action funded by EC under...
Human stress is intricately linked with mental processes such as decision making. Public protection practitioners, including Law Enforcement Agents (LEAs), are forced to make difficult decisions during high-pressure operations, under strenuous circumstances. In this respect, systems and applications that assist practitioners take decisions, increasingly incorporating user level information for their development, adaptation, evaluation. To end, our goal accurately detect classify the of...
