We present a stand-alone software platform, Borehole and Ice Feature Annotation Tool (BIFAT), for the examination, annotation and analysis of glacier borehole images. This tool aids in the lengthy and often subjective process of annotating layers and other features in optical and acoustic glacier borehole televiewer logs. Since these view 360◦ around the full circumference of an exploratory bor...

Human-computer interaction (HCI) investigators must consider the sequential nature of interaction and must often weigh behavioral, cognitive, and social factors when studying and designing today's increasingly complex systems. In many cases, laboratory experimentation is inappropriate and formal modeling intractable; instead, observational data analysis is frequently the only appropriate empiri...

1. Introduction In a sense virtual reality (VR) is in a situation similar to the situation that artificial intelligence was some two decades ago. That is, it is a technology that has received much popular attention and for which the publicity received has far overshadowed the reality.

One goal of science is to understand the relations among variables, and the object of factor analysis is to aid scientists in this quest. Factor analysis can be thought of as a variablereduction procedure, in which many variables are replaced by a few factors that summarize the relations among the variables. Consequently, in its broadest sense factor analysis is a procedure for identifying summ...
