Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Muir, L. J., Richardson, I., & Leaper, S. (2003). Gaze tracking and its application to video coding for sign language.

Sign language communication via videotelephone has demanding visual quality requirements. In order to optimise video coding for sign language it is necessary to quantify the importance of areas of the video scene. Eye movements of deaf users are trac...

Over the last few years we have been exploring an alternative conceptual isation of human-computer interaction (HCl) that sees HCl as the navigation of information spaces (Benyon and Höök, 1997). As a corollary cognitive engineers can be seen as the... Read More about Navigation: within and beyond the metaphor in interface design..

Capital in communities: the case of the Cipher Challenge (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H. (2003). Capital in communities: the case of the Cipher Challenge. In Virtual communities 2003

Much of the literature on communities of practice is concerned with enhancing collaborative work at the level of a single organisation (for example, Huberman & Hogg, 1994) or networks of organisations (for example, Huang, Newell, & Galliers, 2002). I... Read More about Capital in communities: the case of the Cipher Challenge.

Mutual inspiration in the development of new technology for older people. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There are few guidelines on how to involve older people in the design process of new IT related products. In this paper we describe some of the difficulties encountered when working with older people, and introduce the concept of mutual inspiration,...

As technology becomes increasingly important as a means of supporting older people at home, the dangers of distress caused by the introduction of inappropriate technology become greater. This paper discusses the argument for ‘in-home’ research with... Read More about Domesticating technology: in-home requirements gathering with frail older people?.

Broadcast algorithms for wormhole–switched meshes have been widely reported in the literature. However, most of these algorithms handle broadcast in a sequential manner and do not scale well with the network size. As a consequence, many parallel...
