Occlusion-Free Conformal Lensing for Spatiotemporal Visualization in 3D Urban Analytics
Roberta Mota, Julio D. Silva, Fabio Miranda +3
The visualization of temporal data on urban buildings, such as shadows, noise, and solar potential, plays a critical role in the analysis of dynamic urban phenomena. However, in de…
3De Interactive Lenses for Visualization in Virtual Environments
Roberta C. R. Mota, Allan Rocha, Julio Daniel Silva +2
We present 3De lens, a technique for focus+context visualization of multi-geometry data. It fuses two categories of lenses (3D and Decal) to become a versatile lens for seamlessly…
On tangible user interfaces, humans and spatiality
Ehud Sharlin, Benjamin Watson, Yoshifumi Kitamura +2
Like the prehistoric twig and stone, tangible user interfaces (TUIs) are objects manipulated by humans. TUI success will depend on how well they exploit spatiality, the intuitive s…
A wireless, inexpensive optical tracker for the CAVE
Ehud Sharlin, Pablo Figueroa, Mark Green +1
CAVE displays offer many advantages over other virtual reality (VR) displays, including a large, unencumbering viewing space. Unfortunately, the typical tracking subsystems used wi…
Spatial tangible user interfaces for cognitive assessment and training
Ehud Sharlin, Yuichi Itoh, Benjamin Watson +4
This paper discusses Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) and their potential impact on cognitive assessment and cognitive training. We believe that TUIs, and particularly a subset that…
A tangible user interface for assessing cognitive mapping ability
Ehud Sharlin, Benjamin Watson, Steve Sutphen +3
Wayfinding, the ability to recall the environment and navigate through it, is an essential cognitive skill relied upon almost every day in a person's life. A crucial component of w…
