Multimodal User Interfaces: From Signals to Interaction (Signals and Communication Technology)

Buy
Human interfacing with the environment and with other humans is undoubtedly, fully multimodal. All human senses participate, even if some of then dominate, to the everyday human operations of perception, action and interaction. Interaction with the computer or computer-mediated interaction with others has been based for decades in a limited set of modalities and customised devices. Recent technological advancement in the areas of signal processing, computer vision and human-computer interaction, however, has made multimodal interfaces a reality.

Multimodal interaction is a multidisciplinary research area integrating efforts of various sciences such as cognition, psychology, computer science and engineering. This book reports one of the main outcomes of an attempt to bring closer experts from the HCI and the signal processing fields. Multimodal signal processing is fused with multimodal HCI to produce new knowledge in the field of multimodal interfaces. This knowledge goes all the way from signals to interaction and paves the way for a multiview exploration of the topic by scientists of both fields.

The book presents the most recent results of the SIMILAR EU funded Network of Excellence (with the contribution of one Chapter from groups participating in the HUMAINE Network of Excellence) on three main pillars in multimodal interfaces research i. e. theory, software development and application frameworks. The contributions in this book are fully towards the ten Grand Challenges identified by the SIMILAR NoE in the “SIMILAR Dreams” book published on 2005

RESTful Rails Development: Building Open Applications and Services
RESTful Rails Development: Building Open Applications and Services

The Web is slowly but surely changing from a model in which a human reader browses content on web pages to a model in which services and clients (not necessarily humans) exchange information. And because of this, author Silvia Puglisi explains, it makes more sense to build platforms instead of just products or applications. Platforms...


Happiness For Dummies (Psychology & Self Help)
Happiness For Dummies (Psychology & Self Help)
Happiness is an important part of life — no less than anger, sadness, and fear. It begins with life itself: What mother doesn’t recognize the look of happiness on the face of her newborn? Human beings are wired with an innate, neurological potential for happiness, but whether this potential eventually becomes a reality depends on how we...
Statistical Analysis of Panel Count Data (Statistics for Biology and Health)
Statistical Analysis of Panel Count Data (Statistics for Biology and Health)

Panel count data occur in studies that concern recurrent events, or event history studies, when study subjects are observed only at discrete time points.  By recurrent events, we mean the event that can occur or happen multiple times or repeatedly. Examples of recurrent events include disease infections, hospitalizations in medical...

The Facts on File Calculus Handbook (The Facts on File Science Handbooks)
Over the past 25 years or so, the typical college calculus textbook has grown from a modest 350-page book to a huge volume of some 1,200 pages, with thousands of exercises, special topics, interviews with career mathematicians, 10 or more appendixes, and much, much more. But as the old adage goes, more is not always better. The enormous size and...
