PROSPECTS FOR APPLICATION OF MULTIMEDIA DEMONSTRATIONS CREATED BY MEANS OF FLASH

The use of information and communication technologies makes it possible to create and study models in various subject areas. Therefore, educators are increasingly turning to multimedia teaching aids. As a result, the problem of creating multimedia demonstrations became quite acute, which determined the purpose of the work: to consider the possibilities of Flash to create multimedia products. The authors tried to show a wide range of uses of multimedia presentations in the educational process; considered the Flash program as a tool for creating multimedia demonstrations; identified the benefits of using the above program in the process of creating educational multimedia tools; demonstrated the developed multimedia demonstration using Adobe Flash.
 Multimedia demonstrations, or as they are also called, interactive demonstrations, and animated demonstrations, are the most extensive types of demonstrations. Today, Flash has become such a wide and diverse environment that it is not easy to find a specialist who is equally good at using all its features. The article also mentions the didactic properties of multimedia tools: multichannel, clarity, integrated presentation of knowledge, interactivity. The properties of interactivity allow you to integrate audio, video files, animation, interface (menu system - control), three-dimensional objects and any other elements into the multimedia demonstration without losing quality.
 It is safe to conclude that Flash-demonstrations are a universal product that allows you to most harmoniously combine educational information with bright non-trivial design and animation, getting the most out of the demonstration. As for the traditional opportunities for animation and graphics program, the support of developers in this regard has become more complete than ever. This support is no longer limited to animation, as Flash has evolved into an effective multimedia tool capable of integrating a wide range of languages and multimedia formats. This is the ability to create animations in a single file, without folders and swapping documents. Another huge plus is the ability to install Flash-based due to the relatively small file size of the autorun when booting from disk. We consider promising research of methodological aspects of the application of the developed demonstrations in the educational process.

Exploration and Assessment of Interaction in an Immersive Analytics Module: A Software-Based Comparison

The focus of computer systems in the field of visual analytics is to make the results clear and understandable. However, enhancing human-computer interaction (HCI) in the field is less investigated. Data visualization and visual analytics (VA) are usually performed using traditional desktop settings and mouse interaction. These methods are based on the window, icon, menu, and pointer (WIMP) interface, which often results in information clutter and is difficult to analyze and understand, especially by novice users. Researchers believe that introducing adequate, natural interaction techniques to the field is necessary for building effective and enjoyable visual analytics systems. This work introduces a novel virtual reality (VR) module to perform basic visual analytics tasks and aims to explore new interaction techniques in the field. A pilot study was conducted to measure the time it takes students to perform basic tasks for analytics using the developed VR module and compares it to the time it takes them to perform the same tasks using a traditional desktop to assess the effectiveness of the VR module in enhancing student’s performance. The results show that novice users (Participants with less programming experience) took about 50% less time to complete tasks using the developed VR module as a comrade to a programming language, notably R. Experts (Participants with advanced programming experience) took about the same time to complete tasks under both conditions (R and VR).

DDoS ATTACK MITIGATION WITH INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS) USING TELEGRAM BOTS

In the current IS/IT era, service to consumers is an absolute must to be prepared to survive in business competition. Physical and logical attacks with the aim of disrupting information technology services for individuals/agencies/companies or reducing the performance of IS/IT used. The development of IoT in the industrial revolution 4.0, which is all online, is a challenge in itself, from a negative point of view, all of them are able to carry out attacks on ISP servers, often carried out by hackers. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are the most common attacks. The development of software for DDoS attacks is very much on the internet, including UDP Unicorn software to attack very easily and can be done by anyone. Software for real-time monitoring of DDoS attacks, one of which is the Telegram bot. Telegram is a messaging system centered on security and confidentiality, while bots are computer programs that do certain jobs automatically. Telegram bot is free, lightweight and multiplatform. In the case study, this research contains 10 access points to the internet that will be mitigated from DDoS attacks. In this study, it was found that DDoS attacks caused traffic to become very high/congested by fulfilling upload traffic so that legitimate traffic users could not access the internet, connection to the internet was slow, the traffic was also unnatural, making it unable to connect to wireless devices and making Mikrotik login page becomes unable to appear. The purpose of this study is to mitigate DDoS attacks with the help of telegram bots so as to facilitate the notification of DDoS attacks in the event of an attack so that it is fast to deal with and find the perpetrators of the attack. The conclusion of this study is that DDoS attacks using UDP unicorn software resulted in a traffic spike of 53.5 Mbps on the upload traffic side, causing traffic for legitimate/authenticated users to slow down. By using telegram bots to know DDoS attacks occur in real time with a success rate of attack detection up to 100% notifications on telegram bots. Mitigation of DDoS attacks takes steps to track users using the torch feature on the routerboard interface menu, trace internet connection lines using wired or wireless transmission media, and ensure always monitoring the proxy interface from winbox.

Using handheld user interface and direct manipulation for architectural modeling in immersive virtual reality: An exploratory study

AbstractThis study comparatively investigates the affordances and constraints of two modeling methods for three‐dimensional modeling in immersive virtual reality (IVR): handheld user interface (HUI) and direct manipulation modeling (DM). The experimental study was conducted with 20 graduate students and two domain experts. Data were collected with screen capture videos of the modeling screen and video recordings of the users' gestures during the modeling session. To triangulate the findings for better reliability, an open‐ended questionnaire was administered just after the modeling session to collect written data about the modeling experience and the investigated modeling methods. Collected data were analyzed by qualitative coding methods. Analyses focused on affordances and constraints of modeling techniques, user preferences about virtual environments, effects of instant scale feature during modeling, locomotion techniques in IVR, ergonomics of the hardware related to modeling tasks, and usability of modeling interfaces in IVR. The results showed that DM modeling could be supported by (i) numeric input via a novel type of keyboard, (ii) a convenient HUI's menu interface with menu hierarchy wherever needed, and (iii) better locomotion techniques. This study generated suggestions for ensuring that efficient modeling applications for design studios, computer aided design courses, and professional practices in IVR can be implemented by investigating affordances and constraints.

An Exploration of Freehand Crossing Selection in Head-Mounted Augmented Reality

Crossing, or goal crossing, has proven useful in various selection scenarios, including pen, mouse, touch, and virtual reality (VR). However, crossing has not been exploited for freehand selection using augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR HMDs). Using the HoloLens, we explore freehand crossing for selection and compare it to the state-of-the-art “gaze and commit” (head gaze) method. We report on three studies investigating freehand crossing in multiple use cases. The first study shows that crossing outperforms head gaze in selection scenarios of varying target arrangements. The second explores crossing, head gaze, and hand pointing in radial menu and dynamic interface scenarios. The third explores crossing as a function carrier for a variety of basic interaction functions in a drawing application. This work builds on existing knowledge on the goal-crossing paradigm by demonstrating its potential as a useful interaction method in 3D AR HMD interfaces.

An experimental investigation of menu selection for immersive virtual environments: fixed versus handheld menus

With the development of consumer-grade virtual reality (VR) systems, the interface and interaction design for immersive virtual environments have become a critical issue for VR application designers and developers. The previous design experience from conventional VR applications may not be effective anymore. This work investigated two types of menu interfaces (fixed menu and handheld menu) and three selection techniques, hand pointing with button press (Hand-BP), head pointing with button press (Head-BP), and head pointing with dwell (Head-DW), based on performance and subjective assessment. Results showed that the best performing selection technique for fixed menu was Hand-BP, while Head-BP was the most suitable and preferred selection technique for handheld menu. The limitations of different menu interfaces and selection techniques were discussed, and solutions were proposed to overcome the limitations that were found in the experiment. Based on the findings of this study, design guidelines were provided to help designers and developers choose the right menu interface and selection technique for different contexts of use and user groups.

Development of measurement instrument for visual qualities of graphical user interface elements (VISQUAL): a test in the context of mobile game icons

Graphical user interfaces are widely common and present in everyday human–computer interaction, dominantly in computers and smartphones. Today, various actions are performed via graphical user interface elements, e.g., windows, menus and icons. An attractive user interface that adapts to user needs and preferences is progressively important as it often allows personalized information processing that facilitates interaction. However, practitioners and scholars have lacked an instrument for measuring user perception of aesthetics within graphical user interface elements to aid in creating successful graphical assets. Therefore, we studied dimensionality of ratings of different perceived aesthetic qualities in GUI elements as the foundation for the measurement instrument. First, we devised a semantic differential scale of 22 adjective pairs by combining prior scattered measures. We then conducted a vignette experiment with random participant (n = 569) assignment to evaluate 4 icons from a total of pre-selected 68 game app icons across 4 categories (concrete, abstract, character and text) using the semantic scales. This resulted in a total of 2276 individual icon evaluations. Through exploratory factor analyses, the observations converged into 5 dimensions of perceived visual quality: Excellence/Inferiority, Graciousness/Harshness, Idleness/Liveliness, Normalness/Bizarreness and Complexity/Simplicity. We then proceeded to conduct confirmatory factor analyses to test the model fit of the 5-factor model with all 22 adjective pairs as well as with an adjusted version of 15 adjective pairs. Overall, this study developed, validated, and consequently presents a measurement instrument for perceptions of visual qualities of graphical user interfaces and/or singular interface elements (VISQUAL) that can be used in multiple ways in several contexts related to visual human-computer interaction, interfaces and their adaption.

Hazards Detection System Based on 3D Panorama for Tailings Dam in Mining

Tailings dam is a key facility for the mining process, which is also the major hazards for the surrounding environments. It could cause catastrophic accidents and severe personal injuries if the tailings dam failed. The occurrence of tailings dam accidents will greatly damage the life and property of the people in the surrounding areas and damage the ecological environment around the region. In recent years, Chinese government has introduced policies to step up investigation and management of mine tailings potential hazards and results in great achievements. However, a large part of the tailings dam still has prominent safety problems due to long-term site selection, design, system construction and management. Flood drainage system plays an important role both in the mining process and in the tailings dam safety. Through the analysis of the causes of tailings dam accidents, this paper discoveries that a number of accidents caused by the failure or damage of flood drainage facilities, and the risk in flood season is especially prominent. The safety hazards detection of the flood drainage is vital to secure the tailings dam safety. A safety hazards detection system based on 3D panorama technology has been achieved in this paper. It provided a new way to detect the safety hazards remotely on portable devices. Firstly, the 3D panorama data acquisition device was designed and developed. The functions and requirements of 3D panorama data acquisition device were investigated according to the actual environment of flood culvert. The structure and hardware of the device were calculated according to the target functions. Three-dimensional environment image data for rapid acquisition, and the use of feature matching and optical flow principle of the collected images were spliced to generate a 3D panoramic image of flood drainage of tailings dam in mining. The safety hazards detection system includes 3D panorama client and panorama images cloud database. It has five layers which are basic configuration layer, interface presentation layer, data management layer, function module layer and background management layer. The functional module layer has five functional modules, including mine personnel management module, tailings pond panoramic scene module, culvert potential danger detection module, interface menu navigation module and material information management module. It can help safety inspectors to detect and investigate potential safety hazards in flood drainage culverts, which would strengthen the safe operation of tailings dam and maintain the safe and sustainable production of mines. This system has been applied to the tailings dam of a mine to collect 3D environmental image data of the flood drainage culvert. The panoramic image is spliced to generate a panoramic view through the cloud platform. The results show that this system can be used in mine drainage culvert safety hazards detection.
