Dual-Thumb pointing and command selection techniques for tablets: Enhancing Distant Interaction with Large Displays using a Two-Handed Tablet

Tablets are often used as a distant input device to interact with large displays. Users can hold the tablet with two hands when interacting for a long time to avoid fatigue or dropping it. Still, most previous distant interaction techniques consider only one-handed tablets. This paper presents novel interaction techniques to perform distant pointing and command selection tasks using both thumbs while holding the device with two hands. In a first step, we design and evaluate six interaction techniques for distant pointing, based on using one or two thumbs, absolute or relative cursor control and single- or dual-precision pointing. Our results show that a combination of dual-thumb and relative pointing is preferred and more efficient than any other dual-thumb or single-thumb technique we designed. In a second step, we focus on command selection using two thumbs. We designed seven dual-thumb menu techniques based on quarter-pie or half-pie layouts, offering from 64 to 900 items. Our results show that using quarter-pie menu techniques is more efficient, usable and appreciated than using a linear or half-pie menu. Furthermore, we show that augmenting the number of items for quarter-pie and half-pie menu techniques has a low impact on command selection performance. In a third step, we compare our quarter-pie menus to bimanual marking menus. Our results show that quarter-pie menus are more efficient and less error-prone. We finally provide a set of lessons for designing efficient dual-thumb interaction techniques for two-handed tablets.

A Study of the Atomic Processes of Highly Charged Ions Embedded in Dense Plasma

The study of atomic spectroscopy and collision processes in a dense plasma environment has gained a considerable interest in the past few years due to its several applications in various branches of physics. The multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) technique incorporating the uniform electron gas model (UEGM) and analytical plasma screening (APS) potentials have been employed for characterizing the interactions among the charged particles in plasma. The bound and continuum state wavefunctions are determined using the aforementioned potentials within a relativistic Dirac-Coulomb atomic structure framework. The present approach is applied for the calculation of electronic structures, radiative properties, electron impact excitation cross sections and photoionization cross sections of many electron systems confined in a plasma environment. The present study not only extends our knowledge of the plasma-screening effect but also opens the door for the modelling and diagnostics of astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.

K-Surfaces: Bézier-Splines Interpolating at Gaussian Curvature Extrema

K-surfaces are an interactive modeling technique for Bézier-spline surfaces. Inspired by k -curves by [Yan et al. 2017], each patch provides a single control point that is being interpolated at a local extremum of Gaussian curvature. The challenge is to solve the inverse problem of finding the center control point of a Bézier patch given the boundary control points and the handle. Unlike the situation in 2D, bi-quadratic Bézier patches may exhibit none, one, or several extrema, and finding them is non-trivial. We solve the difficult inverse problem, including the possible selection among several extrema, by learning the desired function from samples, generated by computing Gaussian curvature of random patches. This approximation provides a stable solution to the ill-defined inverse problem and is much more efficient than direct numerical optimization, facilitating the interactive modeling framework. The local solution is used in an iterative optimization incorporating continuity constraints across patches. We demonstrate that the surface varies smoothly with the handle location and that the resulting modeling system provides local and generally intuitive control. The idea of learning the inverse mapping from handles to patches may be applicable to other parametric surfaces.

Assessing the Effectiveness of the Tahfidz Program: A CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) Model Evaluation Approach

This study aims to assess the implementation of the tahfidz program at Al Fawwaaz PPTQ Islamic Boarding School using the CIPP evaluation model. Employing a qualitative field research approach, the study involved the principal, deputy head of tahfidz, and tahfidz teacher as participants. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model analysis technique proposed by Miles, Huberman, & Saldana (2014). The findings revealed that the tahfidz program aligns with student needs, community expectations, and institutional goals. Program planning is clear and purposeful. However, certain aspects require improvement, such as enhancing teacher proficiency in the classical tahsin system. The full tahfidz scholarship program initially targeted students with above-average memorization skills to complete 30 Juz Salama in three years. However, attracting students meeting these criteria proved challenging. Facilities and infrastructure are well-prepared, but specific facilities to accommodate students with auditory learning preferences are lacking. Process evaluation indicated that many students fall short of the set targets each semester, and nighttime memorization sessions are less effective. Additionally, some students prioritize fluency over proper makhraj and tajweed pronunciation. Product evaluation demonstrated positive outcomes, with memorization achievements aligning with individual student abilities. Overall, the tahfidz program at Al Fawwaaz PPTQ shows promise but requires ongoing evaluation and improvement to optimize its effectiveness.

Collaborative Governance – Can it Achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) Towards Independent Villages in Strategic Border Areas

State borders are strategically important places. Because of this weakness, the border area as the country's front porch becomes a strategic issue. The border area of Indonesia, as the country's external face, is impressed if its management is based on a safety approach (safety belt method). Villages in Indonesia are still difficult to disentangle; it is frequently stated that he is lagging in development affairs, such that social, economic, infrastructure and other advances appear to be overlooked. The Village Sustainable Development Goals are a development concept that emphasizes ecologically responsible growth while also protecting local culture. The purpose of this research is to determine how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are implemented in the border communities of the Rokan Hilir region. A qualitative technique is used in this investigation. To acquire a thorough grasp of the research problem, data was gathered using in-depth interviews, observation, and interactive photographic techniques. Purposive sampling was used to identify informants. After collecting the data, it is processed using an analytical technique with the N-Vivo 12 to explain, show, and place the data so that conclusions can be reached. Cooperation in the three components of the SDGs is required to achieve sustainability, which balances development on the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The study's findings indicate that the Village Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in Teluk Pulai Village in the border area of Rokan Hilir District, have not been realized based on indicators of sustainability fulfillment. Apart from that, it can be seen from the unmet SDGs performance targets, which had an impact on the Village SDGs Score of 35.96 and the Developing Village Index (IDM) with a Developing status. The SDGs goals in the border area have not been realized, including a lack of village development plans, which solely focus on satisfying the requirements of the village community, thus the SDGs Village goals required by the community are not planned.

Sensemaking Sans Power: Interactive Data Visualization Using Color-Changing Ink.

We present an approach for interactively visualizing data using color-changing inks without the need for electronic displays or computers. Color-changing inks are a family of physical inks that change their color characteristics in response to an external stimulus such as heat, UV light, water, and pressure. Visualizations created using color-changing inks can embed interactivity in printed material without external computational media. In this paper, we survey current color-changing ink technology and then use these findings to derive a framework for how it can be used to construct interactive data representations. We also enumerate the interaction techniques possible using this technology. We then show some examples of how to use color-changing ink to create interactive visualizations on paper. While obviously limited in scope to situations where no power or computing is present, or as a complement to digital displays, our findings can be employed for paper, data physicalization, and embedded visualizations.
