3rd CfP: Workshop on KINECTing MobileHCI

Third CALL FOR PAPERS (with apologies for cross-posting)

**** Please distribute ****

=============================================================
Workshop on KINECTing MobileHCI
at MobileHCI 2012
http://www.kmhci.com

Markus Löchtefeld, Lauren Norrie, Sven Gehring, Roderick Murray-Smith &
Michael Rohs

San Francisco, US
Spetember 21th 2012
=============================================================

=== TOPIC ===

The Microsoft Kinect provides a cheap and robust depth sensor as an
off-the-shelf-product that opens a rich design space for mobile HCI
researchers. Tracking a user's body motion, pose and the position of each
limb is now possible this can help to create new interaction as well as
evaluation methods. The workshop on KINECTing Mobile Human Computer
Interaction is meant to explore how mobile devices and mobile interaction
can be enhanced through the capabilities of the Microsoft Kinect as well as
new experiences and Kinect-augmented services for mobile devices that
emerge from this new technology.

Besides a strong relation to the Kinect, topics of interest include but are
not limited to:

Ten *better* heuristics for heuristic evaluation

Hello All,
Some time ago, I remember reading a webpage about ten evidence-based
heuristics that are an improved version of the ten Nielsen heuristics. I
remember that the webpage had both the original heuristics and the improved
ones listed on it, but I can't seem to find it any more. Does anyone by
chance have the URL for this? Best,
Chris Martin

Outdoor Recreation Mobile App Survey

Hello,

Michigan State University is conducting a brief online survey of potential
designs for a mobile phone application that will allow visitors to find
information about recreation activities at Corps of Engineers' lakes. You
can help us by filling it out at http://bit.ly/MSU_Lakes.  The project
overview is on:  http://bit.ly/MSU_Lakes_Overview.

Thanks,
Sarah

Get involved in UX research! Online Survey (available in english, german or french)

Hi Everyone,

As part of my PhD thesis, I am collecting responses to a questionnaire 
survey on User eXperience. More than 100 Usability/UX researchers and 
practitioners have already been invited to perform this exercise and most 
of them agree on the fact that there is still a definite need for a 
standardized definition of the term UX.

By sharing your views on UX, your participation in this survey will help 
bringing the concept of UX to maturity.

Therefore, it would be a great help if you could participate and also 
share it with your friends or colleagues working in the field of HCI, 
design, marketing or IT engineering. 
Please find below the description of the survey and the link to 
participate.

Thank you very much for your support and co-operation!

Get involved in UX research! Online survey: Towards a shared definition of 
User eXperience
Available in english, german or french version. 
Have you ever heard of the concept of User Experience (also called UX)? 
Does its definition seem clear to you?
At present, despite its popularity among practitioners, it is a challenge 
to reach a shared definition of UX by converging different understandings 
about the meaning and scope of UX. Following a study by Law, Roto, 
Vermeeren & Hassenzahl (2008), we are collecting responses to the

C&S - seeking recommendations for cloud-based online community to share designs with client

Hi – thank you to the people who responded to my question on a cloud-based
community! Here are the answers I received:

*****************************************************


Have you checked out basecamp? The 37 signals guys really know their stuff.

Hi Kay,

Here is a similar question and answer I posted a while ago. It focuses on
graphic deliverables, but some of the tools may work for what you want:

QUESTION: Looking for a better way for clients to review and comment on our
work online

I’m envisioning a chat tool that would allow me to do the following:

• Display a Web page, graphic, or Flash animation on the Web.

seeking recommendations for cloud-based online community to share designs with client

Hi - I'd  like to be able to share UI designs with my client via an online
community. I'd be looking for something very simple, secure, reasonably
priced, and cloud-based.  I'd post screen shots, UML diagrams, stories, etc
and the client team needs to have the ability to comment and post their own
stuff. WIKI capability would be great.

Can anyone suggest some reliable online community products they've used?
I'll collect & summarize people's recommendations. 

Thank you -

Kay

CfP: VIGTA 2012 - 1st International Workshop on Visual Interfaces for Ground Truth Collection in Computer Vision Applications

************************************************************************
Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement
************************************************************************

VIGTA 2012 – First International Workshop on Visual Interfaces for Ground Truth Collection in Computer
Vision Applications

Workshop at AVI2012 - Capri, Italy, May 21-25, 2012
http://vigta2012.dieei.unict.it/

  Overview
  ========
  The importance of having image/video database containing high quality ground truth annotations
generated by humans for a variety of computer vision applications is recognized by the whole machine
vision community. Indeed, one of the most significant efforts during the evaluation process is
represented by the development of accurate truth and comparing this truth to the decision of image and
video processing applications.  For example, datasets with ground truth labels are necessary for
supervised learning of object categories. However, the cost of providing labelled data, which implies
asking a human to examine images and provide labels, becomes impractical as training sets grow. The
computer vision community has mainly directed its attention to develop methods for collecting large
scale datasets by exploiting the collaborative effort of a large population of annotators. Although
there exist functional, task-oriented requirements for tools supporting ground truth labeling, the
research still lacks in following human computer interaction paradigm to develop user-oriented tools.
In fact, annotators, must be at the centre of such tools since the ground truth needs to be established by
humans who, for example, on a video sequence of five minutes captured at 30 fps, have to annotate manually a
total of 9000 frames. Therefore, tools for ground truth annotation must be user-oriented, providing
advanced visual interfaces able to speed-up the process of ground truth creation by helping users,
through the integration of computer vision methods and multi-users ground truth annotations, to finish
the task in a reasonable amount of time with less effort.

User Study: Links in Wikipedia

One of the many nice aspects of Wikipedia is that its articles typically 
contain various links to related articles. But which related articles 
are most relevant?

A PhD student of mine, Ricardo Kawase, tries to find this out with a 
short evaluation. If you have 10 to 15 minutes to spare, it would be 
great if you could participate.

Just follow the link and read the instructions: 
http://www.l3s.de/~kawase/wikieval/start.php

Your participation is voluntary, and you can stop the evaluation at any 
time by closing your browser window. Your answers will be stored 
anonymously and used for research purposes only.

Many thanks in advance!

Automated web/user interfaces

Hello all,

I'm searching for works/projects involving automatic generation of web
or GUI interfaces from specifications/schema of data types or database
structure and would be grateful for any pointers or links you might be
able to share. I'm looking for things such as iTask
(http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2050135.2050145) or SUPPLE
(http://www.cs.washington.edu/ai/supple/). If there is a better HCI
forum where I could direct my query, I would be appreciate knowing
about it as well.

Thanks very much!
