Study Notes
Computing Platform Technologies in HCI
- Platforms are technologies used as a base for other applications, software, systems, and processes.
- Examples of platforms include computing platforms, database platforms, web platforms, game platforms, media platforms, mobile platforms, robotics, analytics, and security.
- A computing platform is hardware (device) and software (OS) that allows applications to run.
- HCI standards are required for creating interactive systems and applications on these platforms.
- Standards-based and open interfaces allow applications to run on multiple platforms.
Mobile and Handheld Interaction
- Mobile devices like smartphones combine mobile phone and handheld computer functions.
- They use multimodal interaction and cloud-based services.
- Smartphones are a single device with built-in personal information management, calendar/address book, and an operating system that supports various applications.
- Tablets are a middle-sized computer between smartphones and laptops.
- Early tablets used keyboards or styluses; touch screens are now the standard input method.
High-End Cloud Service and Multimodal Client Interaction
- High-end cloud services are internet-based services provided by a cloud computing provider's server.
- They allow easy and scalable access to applications, resources, and services.
- AI is needed to implement technologies that handle spoken words, images and gestures.
- High-performance cloud servers coupled with mobile clients support fast data processing and transfer, used in various HCI-related computations such as multimodal integration, context-based reasoning, and user characteristic deduction.
Natural/Immersive/Experiential Interaction
- Language understanding involves word and sentence recognition.
- Voice recognition (speech-to-text) allows hands-free interaction with devices.
- Gestures can convey meaning and supplement other interaction methods.
- Motion tracking in HCI involves tracking movements in applications, computer graphics, and more.
Mixed and Augmented Reality
- Virtual Reality (VR) creates immersive simulated environments using technology.
- Augmented Reality (AR) combines computer-generated images with real-world environments to enhance the user experience.
- Marker-Based AR uses image recognition to produce results, such as QR codes.
- Markerless-Based AR uses GPS, compass, or other sensors.
- Projection-Based AR projects light onto surfaces.
- Superimposition-Based AR partially or fully replaces a real-world object with a digitally enhanced view.
- Mixed Reality (MR) combines physical and digital environments.
