Cross-Media and Elastic Time Adaptive Presentations: The Integration of a Talking Head Tool into a Hypermedia Formatter
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the integration of a facial animation tool (Expressive Talking Heads ETHs) with an adaptive hypermedia formatter (HyperProp formatter). This formatter is able to adjust document presentations based on the document temporal constraints (e.g. synchronization relationships among objects), the presentation platform parameters (e.g. available bandwidth and devices), and the user profile (e.g. language, accessibility, etc.). This work describes how ETHs augments the capability for creating adaptive hypermedia documents with HyperProp formatter. The paper also presents the adaptation facilities offered by the main hypermedia language (Nested Context Language NCL) HyperProp system works with, and details the implementation extensions of Expressive Talking Heads that turned it an adaptive presentation tool.

A Framework for Prefetching Mechanisms in Hypermedia Presentations
In several hypermedia applications it is usual to face certain user impatience with long waiting times for presenting a media content. In other circumstances, even a short delay may impair the user interactivity or the synchronization among media objects, decreasing the presentation quality or generating an unintelligible presentation. In order to lessen these problems, the use of prefetching t...

Time scaling is a technique used to modify media-object presentation duration. This paper proposes an audio time-scaling algorithm focused on supporting applications that need: to maintain the original data format for storage or immediate presentation on any legacy audio player; to perform linear time scaling in real time, allowing the adjustment factor to vary along the audio presentation; and...
متن کاملImproving Media Fragment Integration in Emerging Web Formats
The media components integrated into multimedia presentations are typically entire files. At times the media component desired for integration, either as a navigation destination or as coordinate presentation, is a part of a file, or what we call a fragment. Basic media fragment integration has long been implemented in hypermedia systems, but not to the degree envisioned by hypermedia research....

متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Elastic Net Penalty for Longitudinal Data
Longitudinal studies include the important parts of epidemiological surveys, clinical trials and social studies. In longitudinal studies, measurement of the responses is conducted repeatedly through time. Often, the main goal is to characterize the change in responses over time and the factors that influence the change. Recently, to analyze this kind of data, quantile regression has been taken ...
