Study Notes
Computing Platform Technologies in HCI
- Platforms are sets of technologies used as a base for applications, software, systems, and processes. They function as toolsets for creating customized services.
- Examples of platforms include computing platforms, database platforms, web platforms, game platforms, media platforms, mobile platforms, robotics, analytics, and security.
- A computing platform is specific hardware and software (e.g., operating system) that allows an application to run.
- Platforms follow HCI standards, enabling interactive systems and application development.
- Open standards and interfaces enable applications to run on multiple platforms.
Mobile and Handheld Interaction
- Mobile device usability (user experience, UX) is crucial and increasing.
- Smartphones combine mobile phone and handheld computer functions.
- They have embedded personal information management tools (like calendars and address books) and operating systems for app installation. Smartphones facilitate web browsing, emailing, music/video streaming, and messaging.
- Tablets are intermediate in size between laptops and smartphones with similar functionalities.
- Early tablets used keyboards or styluses; subsequent models used touchscreens.
High-End Cloud Service and Multimodal Client Interaction
- Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies like speech recognition, image/gesture recognition require large databases, considerable offline learning processes and heavy computations for real-time responses.
- High-performance servers paired with mobile clients are a solution for fast data input/capture/transfer. This enables cloud-based computations like multimodal integration, context-based reasoning, user characteristic deduction, usage pattern analysis, and large-scale/multi-user tracking.
Natural/Immersive/Experiential Interaction
- Language Understanding involves word and sentence recognition.
- Voice recognition allows hands-free commands and interactions with technology.
- Voice assistants (e.g., Alexa, Siri, Cortana) are examples of voice recognition applications.
- Gestures aid human communication and can supplement other modes like speech.
- Motion tracking enables data capture from human or object movements.
- Motion tracking is used in 3D modeling, computer animation, military applications and more.
Mixed and Augmented Reality
- Virtual Reality (VR): Immersive technology simulates environments.
- VR allows interaction with 3D objects, using various senses (vision, hearing, touch, smell).
- Augmented Reality (AR): Combines real world with computer-generated elements.
- AR enhances the real-world experience using visuals, sounds, text, and effects to create a unified view.
Marker-Based, Markerless, Projection-Based, and Superimposition-Based Augmented Reality
- Marker-based AR uses image recognition, e.g., QR codes on physical markers.
- Markerless-based AR uses GPS, compass, and motion sensors for location-based recognition.
- Projection-based AR projects light onto surfaces.
- Superimposition-based AR manipulates existing objects or environments by partially or fully replacing them with augmented elements.
- Mixed reality (MR) blends physical and digital worlds.
