High quality, interactive volume visualization is increasingly important as advancements in volumetric capture devices, increased GPU power, and greater interest from the biological/medical community are all currently happening. Researchers and clinicians want to access their data anywhere using a wide range of devices, from smart phones up to powerful multicore machines. Web based visualizatio...

We focus on the problems of using Natural Language interaction to support pedestrians in their place-related knowledge acquisition. Our case study for this discussion is a smartphone-based Natural Language interface that allows users to acquire spatial and cultural knowledge of a city. The framework consists of a spoken dialogue-based information system and a smartphone client. The system is no...
