The advancements of mobile technology permit handheld devices to be smaller, versatile, and have more processing power. On the other hand, the development of complex applications which require more processing capabilities are being developed rapidly nowadays. The implementation of Machine Translation (MT) systems with high translation quality is always considered difficult in desktop devices. I...

Email access from handheld devices is cumbersome, partly because of the considerable effort in entering text using pen-based devices. Even though much research has been done on improving text entry speed on handheld devices, little research has been done on text entry for e-mail messages. In this paper, we utilize the user knowledge and application semantics of email to enable easy and fast ema...

We are investigating how an intelligent hand-held Personal Universal Controller (PUC) can be used to make appliances easier to control as part of the Pebbles research project [Myers 2001]. The concept is that people can use their own handheld to control all appliances and devices in their environment, such as the lights, a photocopier in an office, a machine tool in a factory, a VCR at home, a ...

In this demo, we present a system that can realize a spatial interaction between a handheld device and external displays via imperceptible on-screen markers. Our system can compute a full pose of the camera installed on the handheld device by extracting a marker from the external display, while a user does not notice where the marker is. This technology enables users to see Augmented Reality (A...

j J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2004;11:19–28. DOI 10.1197/jamia.M1387. The use of wireless and handheld technology in the health care setting has become widespread in recent years. Installation of wireless networks in health care institutions to allow mobility and flexibility is becoming more prevalent. The use of handheld devices to facilitate clinical tasks is also increasing. However, the combinat...
