Guiding the Design of Inclusive Interactive Systems: Do Younger and Older Adults Use the Same Image-Schematic Metaphors?

The use of image-schematic metaphors is often promoted for being near-universal across user groups, suggesting that these metaphors have the potential to make novel interactive systems easy to use by both younger and older adults. This study empirically investigates this by eliciting image-schematic metaphors from the spoken language and interaction behaviors of 12 younger adults and 12 older adults undertaking tasks in a technology learning domain. For the first time, we reveal an almost-perfect overlap between image-schematic metaphors used by the younger and older groups, despite the two groups showing significant differences in prior technological knowledge. This finding provides empirical evidence for the near-universality of image-schematic metaphor use across age groups. The study also identifies 37 image-schematic metaphors shared between the two age groups in the technology learning domain to support future design of age-inclusive interactive systems.

Data Interactive Control System Based on Heterogeneous Database of Information Fusion and Internet of Things

Abstract To improve the data interaction control effect of a heterogeneous database and reduce packet loss rate and response time, a new heterogeneous database data interaction control system based on information fusion is designed. The system consists of hardware and software parts. The hardware part of the heterogeneous database data interaction control system is composed of a data extraction module, data sending and receiving module, encryption module, and data interaction control module. On the basis of completing hardware design, the system software is designed, a fuzzy similarity matrix is constructed by calculating the similarity among the evidence, the weight coefficient of each piece of evidence is calculated by calculating the support function of each piece of evidence, the evidence source model is modified by using discount rules, and Dempster–Shafer combination rules are transformed into matrix analysis. Combined with the modified evidence source model, information fusion of the heterogeneous database is carried out to complete the software design of the data interactive control system. The experimental results show that the data interaction control effect of the heterogeneous database in this system is good, and the packet loss rate and response time are low, improving the data interaction control effect.

A Framework for Guiding the Design of Interactive Systems for Communication through Activities in Higher Learning Institutions

Human-computer interaction is paramount in the process of designing interactive-computer systems with high capabilities of guaranteeing users’ satisfaction. However, lack of suitable frameworks complicates their effective design. This study investigated suitable frameworks capable of guiding appropriate design of interactive systems for communication through activities (ISCA) in higher learning institutions in Tanzania. These systems are necessary for augmenting communication thereby overcoming persistent challenges related to their reliance on face-to-face, phone-based, and social networking websites communications. This study used a thorough user centred design approach where a framework for human activity design-centred (HADC) was employed. Authors qualitatively analysed data on communication and interaction issues from participants involved. Design science research was then combined with activity theory to develop a four-phased methodology which was used to design an intended human activity interactive communication (HAIC) framework. The findings confirmed that interactions design techniques based on human-activities undertaken are fundamental in designing communication frameworks capable of guiding suitable design of interactive systems in a particular setting. In the context of this study, and with ISCA need, the obtained HAIC framework was found to be appropriate. This study found out that the current user-centred design approach does not explain precisely how designers can employ activity-based interaction design techniques into the design process. Thus, the study contributes to the literature on users’ involvement in interactive systems’ design through the HADC framework provided

Evaluating large-language-model chatbots to engage communities in large-scale design projects

Abstract Recent advances in machine learning have enabled computers to converse with humans meaningfully. In this study, we propose using this technology to facilitate design conversations in large-scale urban development projects by creating chatbot systems that can automate and streamline information exchange between stakeholders and designers. To this end, we developed and evaluated a proof-of-concept chatbot system that can perform design conversations on a specific construction project and convert those conversations into a list of requirements. Next, in an experiment with 56 participants, we compared the chatbot system to a regular online survey, focusing on user satisfaction and the quality and quantity of collected information. The results revealed that, with regard to user satisfaction, the participants preferred the chatbot experience to a regular survey. However, we found that chatbot conversations produced more data than the survey, with a similar rate of novel ideas but fewer themes. Our findings provide robust evidence that chatbots can be effectively used for design discussions in large-scale design projects and offer a user-friendly experience that can help to engage people in the design process. Based on this evidence, by providing a space for meaningful conversations between stakeholders and expanding the reach of design projects, the use of chatbot systems in interactive design systems can potentially improve design processes and their outcomes.

ClockRay: A Wrist-Rotation Based Technique for Occluded-Target Selection in Virtual Reality.

Target selection is one of essential operation made available by interaction techniques in virtual reality (VR) environments. However, effectively positioning or selecting occluded objects is under-investigated in VR, especially in the context of high-density or a high-dimensional data visualization with VR. In this paper, we propose ClockRay, an occluded-object selection technique that can maximize the intrinsic human wrist rotation skills through the integration of emerging ray selection techniques in VR environments. We describe the design space of the ClockRay technique and then evaluate its performance in a series of user studies. Drawing on the experimental results, we discuss the benefits of ClockRay compared to two popular ray selection techniques - RayCursor and RayCasting. Our findings can inform the design of VR-based interactive visualization systems for high-density data.

A real-time interactive restoration system for intraoral digital videos using segment anything model.

Poor conditions in the intraoral environment often lead to low-quality photos and videos, hindering further clinical diagnosis. To restore these digital records, this study proposes a real-time interactive restoration system using segment anything model. Intraoral digital videos, obtained from the vident-lab dataset through an intraoral camera, serve as the input for interactive restoration system. The initial phase employs an interactive segmentation module leveraging segment anything model. Subsequently, a real-time intraframe restoration module and a video enhancement module were designed. A series of ablation studies were systematically conducted to illustrate the superior design of interactive restoration system. Our quantitative evaluation criteria contain restoration quality, segmentation accuracy, and processing speed. Furthermore, the clinical applicability of the processed videos was evaluated by experts. Extensive experiments demonstrated its performance on segmentation with a mean intersection-over-union of 0.977. On video restoration, it leads to reliable performances with peak signal-to-noise ratio of 37.09 and structural similarity index measure of 0.961, respectively. More visualization results are shown on the https://yogurtsam.github.io/iveproject page. Interactive restoration system demonstrates its potential to serve patients and dentists with reliable and controllable intraoral video restoration.

Design of smart user interaction system utilizing enchased feedback and state control

The article aims to review existing issues and look for novel ways of human-computer digital systems design and interaction. Such interaction takes place, as a rule, through an appropriate interface, which can be mechanical, digital, analog, with a touch screen, etc. For the end user of the relevant application or system, it is important how this interaction process will be implemented, presented, and programmed. That is, what controls, actions for interaction, and feedback mechanisms from the system to the user will be available. The research methods are based on the main methodologies of design and analysis of digital products with an emphasis on user experience, research of user requirements, the context of application use, and the presentation of the menu of interaction with a digital service. The article presents the results of a detailed description and modeling of the main process of user interaction with the feedback system (cyclic process). The context of using the application, the main desires and goals of the user when interacting, as well as the types of available options for interacting with the interactive system are taken into account. The seven-step process of user interaction presented in the paper includes functions, data, software systems and modules, appropriate software and hardware architecture, and methods of internal communication between cycle functions. A process of interactive interaction has been developed, which describes the full cycle from the beginning to the end of the user's work with any digital, analog, computing device, application, or service. This process can be used by designers, software developers, and scientists/researchers at the stage of planning a new interactive system or to improve an existing one.

Interactive Design and Optics-Based Visualization of Arbitrary Non-Euclidean Kaleidoscopic Orbifolds.

Orbifolds are a modern mathematical concept that arises in the research of hyperbolic geometry with applications in computer graphics and visualization. In this paper, we make use of rooms with mirrors as the visual metaphor for orbifolds. Given any arbitrary two-dimensional kaleidoscopic orbifold, we provide an algorithm to construct a Euclidean, spherical, or hyperbolic polygon to match the orbifold. This polygon is then used to create a room for which the polygon serves as the floor and the ceiling. With our system that implements Möbius transformations, the user can interactively edit the scene and see the reflections of the edited objects. To correctly visualize non-Euclidean orbifolds, we adapt the rendering algorithms to account for the geodesics in these spaces, which light rays follow. Our interactive orbifold design system allows the user to create arbitrary two-dimensional kaleidoscopic orbifolds. In addition, our mirror-based orbifold visualization approach has the potential of helping our users gain insight on the orbifold, including its orbifold notation as well as its universal cover, which can also be the spherical space and the hyperbolic space.

Innovative Application of Modularized Virtual Interaction Design Technology in Clothing Design

Abstract CAD-based clothing design is known for its ease and flexibility, yet it often lacks intuitiveness and requires extensive experience for successful garment creation. To address these limitations, this paper presents a novel modular virtual interactive clothing design system using OpenGL and 3D modeling technologies. This system employs virtual reality to enable three-dimensional interactions, creating 3D garments that are then mapped onto a 2D plane for further evaluation. The evaluation module assesses the garment’s balance, line coherence, looseness, and wrinkle aesthetics to finalize the design. The research demonstrates that design discrepancies are kept below 1% in this virtual setting. The system’s modular nature also ensures satisfactory garment fit and appearance, underscoring its practical significance and potential impact.

Virtual sports interactive system design integrating ghost net network and improved YOLOv5 algorithm

With the development of virtual reality, the human–computer interaction through virtual sports is gradually maturing, and users are gradually looking to interact with the two-dimensional world. The research on this type of algorithm has gained attention. However, due to the delay of the old transmission technology in the transmission of pictures, which is higher than the reaction time of human brain, the pictures are inconsistent and illogical, and the user interaction experience is poor. To solve it, this research realizes the fusion of ghost network and You Only Look Once version 5, and the simulation experiment is carried out on the data set. Firstly, the convolution block attention module is inserted into the You Only Look Once version 5 algorithm to optimize its way of calculating Hadamard product. Then, the improved algorithm and the ghost network generation fusion algorithm are combined through the direct channel. Then the algorithm is combined with the virtual sports interactive system to upgrade its key point rearrangement mode. Finally, the performance of the system is characterized on Javelin dataset, and the stability is compared with the other three algorithms. The average score of the six experiments of the system is 9.5, and the average scores of You Only Look Once version 5, ghost network and particle swarm optimization algorithm are 9.42, 9.28 and 9.36, respectively. Results show that this model has excellent performance in adjusting data volatility, and is extensive in virtual sports interaction, which can effectively improve the user experience.

Rhythm Research in Interactive System Design: A Literature Review

Rhythm can create a sense of structure or order, making it easier for users to understand and navigate interactive systems, thereby making user engagement more enjoyable and motivating. Recently, designers are increasingly interested in integrating rhythm into the design of interactive systems. However, the existing literature on this topic is fragmented, making it difficult for designers to find comprehensive guidance. This paper presents the first literature review of rhythm research for designing an interactive system based on the PRISMA method. Through an analysis of 59 papers based on the critical review method (e.g., research through design), we identify six research genres and provide a map to help future researchers locate their research position. Because there is currently no clear classification framework to guide designers in integrating rhythm into interactive systems, we propose a classification framework that includes six design qualities: three human rhythm-driven qualities and three computer rhythm-driven qualities based on the literature review. This classification framework provides a foundation for designers to regulate rhythm in interactive systems. In addition, we discuss emerging issues related to rhythm genres and rhythm classification framework and design qualities. We reflect on the effectiveness of our proposed framework by revisiting previous works on designing interactive systems, and provide potential directions for future research in this area. Overall, this paper aims to provide comprehensive guidance for designers who wish to integrate rhythm into the design of interactive systems, and to advance the understanding of the role of rhythm in interactive system design.

Virtual Speech System Based on Sensing Technology and Teaching Management in Universities

Abstract In this paper, digital speech is compressed using discrete Fourier transform, discrete cosine transform, and improved discrete cosine transform, and compressed sensing technology is proposed. Based on the compressed sensing technology, the frequency domain parameter compression algorithm and the speech coding and decoding algorithm are designed, and the interactive 3D virtual speech system design is completed through the pre-processing of the speech system, the extraction of speech features and the design of speech control commands. The virtual voice system designed in this paper is introduced in the teaching management mode of colleges and universities, and the main functions of the system include four major sections: notification management, online Q&A, virtual voice system interaction, and teaching resource management. The virtual voice system built using sensing technology is simulated and tested, and the practical application effect of the system is studied through empirical analysis. The experimental results show that the amplitude of the sound recorded by the compression sensor in the voice sensing experiment is more concentrated, the range is concentrated between [-0.025,0.025], and the detected voice is smaller and more effective than the amplitude recorded by the cell phone. Students were mainly satisfied and very satisfied with the four system functions designed in this paper, and in terms of the online Q&A function, only one student expressed great dissatisfaction and the total number of satisfied people was 119, and the students were highly satisfied with the teaching management of the system designed in this study.

Understanding the Indirect Effects of Interactive Systems Within Systems of Systems

ABSTRACTUntil recently, research into the sustainable design of interactive systems has primarily focused on the direct material impact of a system, through improving its energy efficiency and optimizing its lifecycle. Yet the way a system is designed and marketed often has wider repercussions, such as rebound effects, and systemic change in practices. These effects are harder to assess (and to anticipate) than the direct physical impact of the construction and use of the system itself. Current tools are unable to account for the complexity of these effects: the underlying causal mechanisms, their multi‐level nature, their different temporalities, and the variety of their consequences (environmental and societal). This is why we are seeking to develop a specific methodology and tool, inspired by systemic design and system dynamics. These are intended for decision‐makers and designers of interactive systems within systems of systems (for example, in the fields of agricultural robotics or public transportation). In this paper, we present this modeling approach and our prototype tool through the example of a second‐hand clothing sales platform.
