Experimental Test Report Experimental Test report Document information Project Title 6th Sense Project Number E.02.25 Project Manager Fraunhofer Austria Deliverable Name Verification Report “Experimental Test Report” Deliverable ID Del 4.2 Edition 00.01.01 Template Version 03.00.00 Task contributors Fraunhofer Austria, FREQUENTIS AG, Fraunhofer FKIE, subcontracted by Fraunhofer Austria Abstract The project Sixth Sense postulates that the users “body language" is different at “good” and “bad” decisions. The project follows the idea to use the whole body language of a user for communicating with a machine. In our case it is an Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) with an Air Traffic Tower CWP. Specifically we intend to analyse the correlation of the change of the behaviour of an ATCO - expressed through his body language - with the quality of the decisions he is making. For that, an experiment was set up, data about the user behaviour was collected, explored and analysed. This document is the test report of the proof of concept for the Sixth Sense prototype and its core components. Results of our work may be used for an early warning for “bad” situations about to occur or decision aids for the ATCO. Authoring & Approval Prepared By - Authors of the document.

  • WIMP Interfaces for Emerging Display Environments
    Graz University of Technology Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision Dissertation WIMP Interfaces for Emerging Display Environments Manuela Waldner Graz, Austria, June 2011 Thesis supervisor Prof. Dr. Dieter Schmalstieg Referee Prof. Dr. Andreas Butz To Martin Abstract With the availability of affordable large-scale monitors and powerful projector hardware, an increasing variety of display configurations can be found in our everyday environments, such as office spaces and meeting rooms. These emerging display environments combine conventional monitors and projected displays of different size, resolution, and orientation into a common interaction space. However, the commonly used WIMP (windows, icons, menus, and pointers) user interface metaphor is still based on a single pointer operating multiple overlapping windows on a single, rectangular screen. This simple concept cannot easily capture the complexity of heterogeneous display settings. As a result, the user cannot facilitate the full potential of emerging display environments using these interfaces. The focus of this thesis is to push the boundaries of conventional WIMP interfaces to enhance information management in emerging display environments. Existing and functional interfaces are extended to incorporate knowledge from two layers: the physical environment and the content of the individual windows. The thesis first addresses the tech- nical infrastructure to construct spatially aware multi-display environments and irregular displays. Based on this infrastructure, novel WIMP interaction and information presenta- tion techniques are demonstrated, exploiting the system's knowledge of the environment and the window content. These techniques cover two areas: spatially-aware cross-display navigation techniques for efficient information access on remote displays and window man- agement techniques incorporating knowledge of display form factors and window content to support information discovery, manipulation, and sharing.

  • Design Patterns and Frameworks for Developing WIMP User Interfaces
    Design Patterns and Frameworks for Developing WIMP+ User Interfaces Vom Fachbereich Informatik der Technischen Universität Darmstadt genehmigte Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades der Doktor-Ingenieurin (Dr.-Ing.) vorgelegt von Yongmei Wu, M.Sc. geboren in Guizhou, China Referenten der Arbeit: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Jürgen Hoffmann Prof. Robert J.K. Jacob, Ph.D. Tag des Einreichens: 09.10.2001 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 11.12.2001 D17 Darmstädter Dissertation 2001 Abstract Abstract This work investigates the models and tools for support of developing a kind of future user interfaces, which are partially built upon the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointing device: the mouse) interaction techniques and devices; and able to observe and leverage at least one controlled process under the supervision of their user(s). In this thesis, they are called WIMP+ user interfaces. There are a large variety of applications dealt with WIMP+ user interfaces, e.g., robot control, telecommunication, car driver assistant systems, distributed multi-user database systems, automation rail systems, etc. At first, it studies the evolution of user interfaces, deduces the innovative functions of future user interfaces, and defines WIMP+ user interfaces. Then, it investigates high level models for user interface realization. Since the most promising user-centered design methodology is a new emerging model, it is still short of modeling methodology and rules to support the concrete development process. Therefore, in this work, a universal modeling methodology, which picks up the design pattern application, is researched and used to structure different low level user interface models. And a framework, named Hot-UCDP, for aiding the development process, is proposed.

Flexible interfaces : future developments for post-WIMP interfaces Benjamin Bressolette and Michel Beaudouin-Lafon LRI, Universit´eParis-Sud, CNRS, Inria, Universit´eParis-Saclay Orsay, France [email protected] R´esum´e Most current interfaces on desktop computers, tablets or smart- phones are based on visual information. In particular, graphical user in- terfaces on computers are based on files, folders, windows, and icons, ma- nipulated on a virtual desktop. This article presents an ongoing project on multimodal interfaces, which may lead to promising improvements for computers' interfaces. These interfaces intend to ease the interaction with computers for blind or visually impaired people. We plan to inter- view blind or visually impaired users, to understand how they currently use computers, and how a new kind of flexible interface can be designed to meet their needs.

Ihr Zweck ist es, eine computer-unterstützte Kollaboration mehrerer Benutzer zu ermöglichen, die auf einer nahtlosen Benutzung mehrerer Geräte und Bildschirme mittels „natürlicher“ post-WIMP Interaktion basiert. Diese Dissertation beantwortet die Forschungsfrage, wie Gestalter und Entwickler solcher Umgebungen dabei unterstützt werden können, gebrauchstaugliche interaktive Räume für mehrere Benutzer mit mehreren Geräten zu erschaffen, die eine kollaborative Wissensarbeit ermöglichen. Zu diesem Zweck werden zunächst Konzepte wie post-WIMP Interaktion, interaktive Räume und Wissensarbeit definiert. Die Arbeit formuliert dann das neue technologische Paradigma ZOIL (Zoomable Object-Oriented Information Landscape).

  • Windows Development Environment
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Windows Development Environment For those developers who spend most of their coding time with Microsoft development tools, the world of *nix is probably a scary place. Drupal is written for the so-called LAMP stack, "Linux/Apache/MySQL/ PHP." While it is possible to substitute Windows for Linux, it is a bit more difficult to substitute IIS for Apache, and even harder to substitute SQL Server for MySQL. And don’t even think about replacing PHP with C# or Visual Basic. This appendix provides a step-by-step tutorial for setting up a debugging environment on your Windows workstation. My goal was to duplicate the development environment of Visual Studio, and this set-up gets about as close as you can. Old habits die hard, and if you’re like me you’ve got some. I’ve been using a Windows-based computer since Windows was first available as an application that ran under DOS. As with most technologies, Windows and I have a love-hate relationship, but for some reason I keep coming back. Visual Studio is the perfect development environment. My development editor of choice was once VEdit, an emacs-style editor. I reluctantly switched to Visual Studio to do Visual Basic 6 programming, and learned to love IntelliSense. With Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET reflection-based IntelliSense, I can’t imagine coding without it. After the Windows Vista debacle, I seriously considered switching to Ubuntu or Macintosh. If Microsoft couldn’t get its core operating system right, how long would it be until everything else suffered? Windows 7 changed my mind.

    Techniques for Inelastic Effective Field Theory Measurements with the Large Underground Xenon Experiment by Daniel Patrick Hogan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robert Jacobsen, Chair Professor Marjorie Shapiro Professor Kai Vetter Summer 2018 Techniques for Inelastic Effective Field Theory Measurements with the Large Underground Xenon Experiment Copyright 2018 by Daniel Patrick Hogan 1 Abstract Techniques for Inelastic Effective Field Theory Measurements with the Large Underground Xenon Experiment by Daniel Patrick Hogan Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California, Berkeley Professor Robert Jacobsen, Chair Cosmological evidence indicates that nonbaryonic dark matter makes up a quarter of the energy density of the universe. One hypothesis for the particle nature of dark matter is the weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP). The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is a dual-phase xenon WIMP search experiment with a 250kg active volume. Computational tools developed to support LUX analyses include data mirroring and a data visualization web portal. Within the LUX detector, particle interactions produce pulses of scintillation light. A pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique is shown to help classify interaction events into nuclear recoils and electron recoils based on the time-structure of the pulses. This approach is evaluated in the context of setting limits on inelastic effective field theory (IEFT) dark matter models. Although PSD is not found to provide significant improvement in the limits, LUX is nevertheless able to set world-leading limits on some IEFT models, while limits for other IEFT models are reported here for the first time.
