Special issue on three-dimensional video and television

The term three-dimensional television (3DTV) is understood as a natural extension of two-dimensional television—which produces a flat image on a screen—into the third dimension. This means that the impression of the viewer also involves the perception of depth. Our two eyes view the world from slightly different positions and the two slightly different images registered by our eyes play a prima...

Special Issue on Volume Modeling

Volume graphics is concerned with graphical models defined in volume data types, such as regular and irregular volume datasets, scalar fields, spatial occupancy models, and other spatial or nonspatial representations, which are capable of modeling both solid and amorphous objects, and interiors as well as surfaces. Evolved from volume visualization techniques, volume graphics is emerging as an ...

Special Issue on Modeling Human Activities

Understanding and modeling human activities is essential for designing and evaluating interactive systems. Models of tasks and activities help to make explicit the assumptions that not only influence the shaping of the system under design, but also guide the overall development process. Task modeling is one of the oldest techniques in Human-Computer Interaction (Diaper & Stanton, 2003). It is a...
