Multiple reference optical coherence tomography (MR-OCT) is a technology ideally suited to low-cost, compact OCT imaging. This modality is an extension of time-domain OCT with the addition of a partial mirror in front of the reference mirror. This enables extended, simultaneous depth scanning with the relatively short scan range of a miniature voice coil motor on which the scanning mirror is mo...

Rich text tasks are increasingly common on mobile devices, requiring the user to interleave typing and selection to produce the text and formatting she desires. However, mobile devices are a rich input space where input does not need to be limited to a keyboard and touch. In this paper, we present two complementary studies evaluating four different input modalities to perform selection in suppo...

We conducted a study in fiscal 2000-2002 concerning a network-distributed voice-activated telematics service system and another study in fiscal 2003-2004 concerning a voice-activated system and driver distraction. Based on those original studies, this paper presents dialogue management corresponding to the driver’s workload and other factors, with the aim of help to develop consensus for voice-...

Ever since computers were first built, people have been fascinated with the idea of someday talking with them. Such a capabilhy has long been a staple of science fiction. For example, Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey features casual conversation between the crew of a spaceship and their computer, Hal. ] This sort of easy idiomatic communication between humans and machines will continue ...

We describe the use of non-verbal features in voice for direct control of interactive applications. Traditional speech recognition interfaces are based on an indirect, conversational model. First the user gives a direction and then the system performs certain operation. Our goal is to achieve more direct, immediate interaction like using a button or joystick by using lower-level features of voi...

In this paper, a novel solution to avoid new infections is presented. Instead of tracing users’ locations, the presence individuals detected by analysing voices, and people’s faces are camera. To do this, two different Android applications were implemented. The first one uses camera detect whenever user answers or performs phone call. Firebase Platform will be used captured determine its size e...

This paper describes a speech-input interface function, called speech shift, that enables a user to specify a speech-input mode by simply changing (shifting) voice pitch. While current speech-input interfaces have used only verbal information, we aimed at building a more user-friendly speech interface by making use of nonverbal information, the voice pitch. By intentionally controlling the pitc...
