Navigation services can be found in different situations and contexts: while connected to the web through a desktop PC, cars, more recently on PDAs foot. These are usually well designed for their specific purpose, but fail work other situations. In this paper we present an approach that connects variety of specialized user interfaces achieve personal navigation service spanning We describe concepts behind \bf BPN (BMW Personal Navigator), entirely implemented system combines event route...
Successfully conveying the interactivity of a Public Information Display (PID) can be difference between display that is used or not by its audience. In this paper, we present an interactive PID called 'Cruiser Ribbon' targets pedestrian traffic. We outline our installation, visual cues to alert people display's interactivity, interaction mechanisms with which interact display, and approach presenting rich content hierarchical in nature thus navigable along multiple dimensions. This followed...
Normally, mobile pedestrian navigation systems use visually perceptible landmarks to guide their users through the environment. In this article we introduce concepts for of auditory in route descriptions. Such complement visual counterparts and also stand be beneficial certain groups like impaired elderly.
Public Information Displays (PIDs) have only recently begun to support user interaction. Traditionally, such displays been static and non-interactive, past research has shown that users of (both non-interactive interactive) are often oblivious them; a term commonly known as 'display blindness'.
We introduce the concept of product associated displays -PADs - as a way providing visual feedback to users interacting with physical objects in an instrumented environment. PADs are projected public created at locations that can be intuitively they show information about. The is illustrated shopping scenario.
Mobile and outdoor environments have long been out of reach for speech engines due to the performance limitations that were associated with portable devices, the difficulties of processing in high-noise areas. This paper outlines an architecture attaining robust speech recognition rates a mobile pedestrian indoor/outdoor navigation environment, through use media fusion knowledge component.
In this paper, we describe the results of a usability study on user preferences for multimodal interaction in an instrumented environment. The was conducted public setting, and provides insight into modality among users, specific to men women. returned are also contrasted former based same evaluation procedures but under laboratory setting.
This paper explores the nature of interfaces to support people in accessing their files at tabletop displays embedded environment. To do this, we designed a study comparing people's interaction with two very different classes file system access interface: Focus, explicitly for tabletops, and familiar hierarchical Windows Explorer. In our within-subjects double-crossover study, participants collaborated on 4 planning tasks. Based video, logs, questionnaires interviews, conclude that both...

Collaboration has been common in workplaces various engineering settings and our daily activities. However, how to effectively engage collaborators with collaborative tasks long an issue due situational technical constraints. The research this paper addresses the a specific scenario, which is enable users interact public information from their own perspective. We describe 3D mobile interaction technique that allows collaborate other people by creating symmetric ambience. This turn can...
Summary Navigation systems have seen significant advancements in recent years. They now exist for desktop computers, automobiles, and mobile devices. are able to adapt many different situational contexts provide a solid foundation wide range of location based services. Mobile multi-modal interfaces similar over the past few years as technologies previously designed powerful mainframe computers gradually swept into reach This paper describes user interface that has been integrated pedestrian...
