10 Past research has proved that graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can significantly improve the effectiveness 11 of the information access task. Our work is based on the consideration that structured document retrieval 12 requires different user graphical interfaces from standard information retrieval. In structured document 13 retrieval a GUI has to enable a user to query, browse retrieved doc...

Most designs proposed for air traffic control workstations are based on user interface designs from the early 1980s, though research in user interaction has produced innovations since then. Project Toccata federates a series of research held at CENA on new user interfaces and services for ATC. Virtuosi and DigiStrips are two prototypes developed for Toccata, which make use of touch screens and ...

Modern graphical user interfaces are based on the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, Pointing device) paradigm which has been introduced around 1980 and used without any dramatic change until today. In 2007, Microsoft introduced the Ribbon: a radically redesigned user interface for the Office suite as a reaction to increasing complexity of the Office suite user interface with each new version release. W...

This paper discusses the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to illustrate sampling from a trinomial distribution by the natural extension of Galton’s Quincunx to three dimensions.

Conceptual design is usually done with paper and pen. Notepad computers open a new way for designing pen-based user interfaces for supporting such kind of design activities. However, pen-based user interfaces have some aws, such as the recognition rate of handwritten characters, the size of memory and display, which limits the application of such kind of computers. The main idea we have is to c...

The research of new human-computer interfaces has become a growing field in computer science, which aims to attain the development of more natural, intuitive, unobtrusive and efficient interfaces. This objective has come up with the concept of Perceptual User Interfaces (PUIs) that are turning out to be very popular as they seek to make the user interface more natural and compelling by taking a...

We present the results of a between-subjects (n=93) experiment that investigates the effect of different visual design representations on user perceptions of credibility of Wikipedia articles. Users were recruited through Amazon.com’s Mechanical Turk system. Participants were randomly assigned to a different condition, corresponding to the visual representation, and were asked a fact-based ques...

E-learning with using multimedia and graphical interfaces is now fashionable in some virtual learning environments. Especially, in open colleges, universities and E-learning databases, using these interfaces can improve quality of educating by increasing attraction of educational subjects. In this paper, we introduce this technology and its aspects by defining some Graphical User Interfaces (GU...

Today, robots are no longer limited to laboratory experiments; they have found their way into our homes. Being a physical entity itself, a robot can provide the functionality a regular computer does not possess. In the AIBO Monitor project, we use a domestic robot dog as a mediator for people to remotely monitor their home environment. Several design ideas have been explored and are presented i...

Numerous engineering application systems have been developed over the past twenty years, and many of these applications will continue to be used for many years to come. Examples of such applications include CAD Systems, finite-element analysis packages and inspection systems. Because many of these applications were developed before graphical workstations became available, they often have simple...
