Creating Meaningful Representations

Demanding business environments increasingly require knowledge work. Hereby, knowledge creation needs to rely on meaningful entities and representations, in particular for organizational change processes. In this paper we report on exploring essential benefits for stakeholders and communities when applying major principles of Maria Montessori when articulating and communicating knowledge. Exper...

Creating Meaningful Environment Models for Augmented Reality

This article introduces a framework to generate three-dimensional models for Augmented Reality (AR), which include semantics. Augmented reality applications often associate 3D models with some aspect of reality. While the addition of semantics to 3D models has been studied previously in the field of intelligent virtual environments, AR is different because the semantics are attached to objects ...

Creating Meaningful Melodies from Text Messages

Writing text messages (e.g. email, SMS, instant messaging) is a popular form of synchronous and asynchronous communication. However, when it comes to notifying users about new messages, current audio-based approaches, such as notification tones, are very limited in conveying information. In this paper we show how entire text messages can be encoded into a meaningful and euphonic melody in such ...

Articulate: Creating Meaningful Visualizations from Natural Language

This chapter presents an approach to enable non-visualization experts to craft advanced visualizations through the use of natural language as the primary interface. The main challenge in this research is in determining how to translate imprecise verbal queries into effective visualizations. To demonstrate the viability of the concept, we developed and evaluated a prototype, Articulate, which al...
