How do we isolate code from different sources n" Protecting sensitive information in browser n" Ensuring some form of integrity n" Allowing modern functionality, flexible interaction Example:Library !

Chapter 1 Disjoint Forms in Graphical User Interfaces Sander Evers, Peter Achten, Rinus Plasmeijer1 Abstract: Forms are parts of a graphical user interface (GUI) that show a (struc- tured) value and allow the user to update it. Some forms express a choice between two or more (structured) values using radio buttons or check boxes. We show that explicitly modelling such a choice leads to a cleaner separation of logic and lay- out. This is done by extending the combinator library FunctionalForms with dis- joint form combinators. To implement these, we have generalized the technique of compositional functional references which underlies the library. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Forms are parts of a graphical user interface (GUI) that show a (structured) value and allow the user to update it. For example, the omnipresent dialogs labeled Options, Settings and Preferences are forms. An address book can also be con- sidered a form. In our previous work, we have developed the combinator library FunctionalForms[2] for building forms in a concise, compositional way. Many real-life forms allow a choice between two or more alternatives, some of which require extra information. For example, the form in Fig. 1.1 indicates whether the user wishes to receive a certain newsletter; if s/he does, the text entry field next to this option should contain his/her email adress. If s/he does not, this text field is irrelevant (some GUIs provide a visual clue for this: the control is dimmed). Usually, the information in such a form is processed as a product-like data structure containing the choice (e.g. -
Kinect Based Painter
PiccasoNect – - Kinect based Painter Introduction Kinect is a line of motion sensing input devices by Microsoft for Xbox 360 and Xbox One video game consoles and Windows PCs. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral, it enables users to control and interact with their console/computer without the need for a game controller, through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. Kinect sensor is based on Prime-Sense technology and there are similar sensors on the market such as Asus Xtion and PrimeSense Carmine. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect) Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications by Microsoft. WPF attempts to provide a consistent programming model for building applications and separates the user interface from business logic. It resembles similar XML-oriented object models, such as those implemented in XUL and SVG. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation) Overview In the project we developed a WPF application which allows the user to create a painting using his hands with minimal interactions with the mouse and keyboard. Using the Kinect, the application follows the user's hands movements, and translates them to a brush strokes. The application allows the user to select a brush from several rendering methods. Application requirements Capture user movements using Kinect sensor Paint the desired brush according to the user hands movements Enable several rendering options to choose from Option to save and send via email the finished painting Project Infrastructure The project is A WPF application, based on Microsoft Kinect SDK 1.7. -

Tkgecko: Another Attempt for an HTML Renderer for Tk Georgios Petasis
TkGecko: Another Attempt for an HTML Renderer for Tk Georgios Petasis Software and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory, Institute of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Athens, Greece [email protected] Abstract The support for displaying HTML and especially complex Web sites has always been problematic in Tk. Several efforts have been made in order to alleviate this problem, and this paper presents another (and still incomplete) one. This paper presents TkGecko, a Tcl/Tk extension written in C++, which allows Gecko (the HTML processing and rendering engine developed by the Mozilla Foundation) to be embedded as a widget in Tk. The current status of the TkGecko extension is alpha quality, while the code is publically available under the BSD license. 1 Introduction The support for displaying HTML and contemporary Web sites has always been a problem in the Tk widget, as Tk does not contain any support for rendering HTML pages. This shortcoming has been the motivation for a large number of attempts to provide support from simple rendering of HTML subsets on the text or canvas widgets (i.e. for implementing help systems) to full-featured Web browsers, like HV3 [1] or BrowseX [2]. The relevant Tcl Wiki page [3] lists more than 20 projects, and it does not even cover all of the approaches that try to embed existing browsers in Tk through COM or X11 embedding. One of the most popular, and thus important, projects is Tkhtml [4], an implementation of an HTML rendering component in C for the Tk toolkit. Tkhtml has been actively maintained for several years, and the current version supports many HTML 4 features, including CCS and possibly JavaScript through the Simple ECMAScript Engine (SEE) [5]. -
