this study looks at the communication between users concerning health risks, with the aim of exploring their use of fora and assessing whether participants establish a niche with like-minded users during these exchanges. by integrating a corpus linguistic approach with content analysis and multiple studies on computer mediated health discourse, this study analyses the intense attention paid to ...

A new human interface called Virtual Scope has been developed enabling easy operation and display of high-quality computer graphics (CG) data corresponding to an actual picture or painting. The position of the interface operated by the user is detected by sensors and the CG data corresponding to the movement of the interface are displayed as a high-definition image using real-time CG technology...

In this paper, we will discuss the usage of cognitive science research in graphical user interface. In the area of interface design, there is a lack of guidelines based on actual cognitive science research. We intend to explore this area by focusing on the forestry industry and forestry operators, in particular, and how their visual cognitive work load affects their learning process, attention ...

Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience and brain imaging technologies provide us with the unprecedented ability to interface directly with activity in the human brain. Beyond traditional neuroscience work, researchers have begun to explore brain imaging as a novel input mechanism. This work has largely been targeted at allowing users to bypass the need for motor movement and to directly cont...

While providing non-visual access to graphical user interfaces has been the topic of research for over 20 years, blind users still face many obstacles when using computer systems. The higher degree of flexibility for both developers and users poses additional challenges. Existing solutions are largely based on either graphical toolkit hooks, queries to the application and environment, scripting...
