Discrete Model is based on the description of the physical state (velocity, position, temperature, magnetic moment, electric potential ..) of a large number of discrete elements that form the media to be studied. It is not based on a continuous description of the media. Thus, it is particularly well adapted to describe media evolution driven by discontinuous phenomena like the description of mu...

Distributed organizations, with distributed cooperative work, are a fact of life. How can new technologies help? Distributed video is an appealing choice, carrying more contextual information than voice alone and, arguably, better at conveying subtle cues, such as the emotional states. Although new commercial systems are being introduced, they focus primarily on providing new technology. Most a...

In ubiquitous and social web applications, there are different user traces, for example, produced explicitly by “tweeting” via twitter or implicitly, when the corresponding activities are logged within the application’s internal databases and log files. For each of these systems, the sets of user interactions can be mapped to a network, with links between users according to their observed inter...

BACKGROUND In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration licensed a vaccine for the human papillomavirus (HPV) that prevents the strains of HPV that cause 70% of cervical cancers. Within months, many states introduced legislation requiring the vaccine for girls, prompting controversy and heightened political and media attention to the issue. Previous research has shown differences in HPV vacci...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd interactive media the semiotics ...

From a cognitive perspective, this paper summarises a number of theoretical and applied studies conducted by my colleagues and myself on the topic 'interaction with new media'. The focus lies on the users' behavior: visual information gathering, interaction with the multimodal interface, browsing strategies and attentional processes during hypertext navigation. In addition, we also look at user...

Multi-touch tables are often used to display 3D imagery on the 2D surface of the table. Interacting with these 3D images through the 2D plane can be unintuitive and complicated. In short the goal of the research described in this thesis was to find out if interaction with 3D objects and environments on multi-touch tables could be made more intuitive by adding a third dimension to the input capa...

In this paper we propose a touch enabled video player system. A conventional video player only allows viewers to passively experience visual and audio media. In virtual environment, touch or haptic interaction has been shown to convey a powerful illusion of the tangible nature the reality of the displayed environments and we feel the same benefits may be conferred to a broadcast, viewing domain...

Micro size craters were created by interaction of nanosecond laser beam with titanium target in liquid media. The dimension of crater i.e. depth and width is important in some applications such as micromachining. When the interaction occurs in liquid environment, the ablated materials from the target expand into the liquid. The ablated material can affect the interaction process if the ablated ...
