Abstract

This paper presents our designed three dimensional (3D) natural interaction navigation system using Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) CHR-6dm with ZigBee wireless technology for broader interactive coverage range usage. Related sensor interface software and sensor data observation are presented. Furthermore, local machine platform realization for Google Earth (GE) 3D navigation using movement of human beings is illustrated. In the end, global heritage navigation effect using this developed 3D gesture navigation system is shown.

Abstract

In this paper we present an evaluation of Kinect Kiosk user experience. We have created an example of evaluation system where users can decide which parameter values of the user interface are suitable for them. Our example shows how we can collect user feedback in form of voting system to adapt the user interface for average user. Such setup also al- lows user profiles that can store the information of user inter- face preferences for an individual user. The presented evaluation of touchless interfaces is novel and shows how user interface designers as well as user experience designers can create better user interfaces by using presented evaluation.

HCI course on Coursera

Posted on by

Online courses have became very popular recently. One of the most popular platforms that offers online education, Coursera, that offers numerous classes from variety of fields, will reboot their course on HCI.

The course starts on Monday 7th October. This course was already conducted three times.

From the course organisers:

“We’re again offering the apprentice track for those that keep up with lectures and do well on the quizzes, and a studio track for those that also do well on the design assignments. If you received an apprentice or studio certificate in a previous run of the course, you have the option of a studio practicum track that enables you to continue to practice your design skills by completing the design assignments and receiving peer feedback, without needing to retake the quizzes.”

You can find the course at http://hci-class.org/.
