Dynamic Maps for Future Navigation Systems: Agile Design Exploration of User Interface Concepts

Abstract Designers are increasingly using online resources for inspiration. How to best support design exploration without compromising creativity? We introduce and study Design Maps, a class of point-cloud visualizations that makes large user interface datasets explorable. Design Maps are computed using dimensionality reduction and clustering techniques, which we analyze thoroughly in this paper. We present concepts for integrating Design Maps into design tools, including interactive visualization, local neighborhood exploration and functionality to integrate existing solutions to the design at hand. These concepts were implemented in a wireframing tool for mobile apps, which was evaluated with actual designers performing realistic tasks. Overall, designers find Design Maps supporting their creativity (avg. CSI score of 74/100) and indicate that the maps producing consistent whitespacing within cloud points are the most informative ones.

Car Navigation

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The need for car-related navigation and the appearance of the vehicles themselves are much the same age – of course. In the early days, paper maps and personal questioning were solved this problem. Nearly 100 years ago, the first built-in car GPS was released – and this is an innovation that is still an important part of car design. Planning the user interface is a very exciting issue, because only in a few seconds the display needs to provide the user with the right amount of information. In this research our goal was to assess Hungarians driving and built-in GPS using habits and based on this try to suggest the “perfect” interface. A questionnaire was made with 19 or 46 questions and more than 1000 respondents completed it. Because of the high number of questions only selected diagrams are represented. Some answers have also been subjected to different statistical tests.</p>

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana arsitektur informasi diterapkan pada digital library. Sampel pada penelitian ini yaitu Cambridge Digital Library, Villanova University Digital Library, University of Pittsburgh Digital Collection, dan Tuft Digital Library. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah pengamatan terhadap 4 digital library yang dipilih. Data analis yang digunakan yaitu komponen arsitektur informasi yang meliputi organization information, navigation systems, labelling systems, dan search systems. Dari hasil deskripsi menunjukkan tidak semua user interface menerapkan arsitektur informasi. Cambridge Digital Library merupakan digital library yang menerapkan semua komponen arsitektur informasi, sedangkan ketiga digital library lainnya hanya menerapkan 3 komponen arsitektur informasi. Meskipun demikian Cambridge digital library belum menerapkan semua komponen arsitektur informasi dengan baik dikarenakan ada salah satu komponen arsitektur informasi yang belum sepenuhnya diterapkan. Organization information merupakan salah satu komponen arsitektur informasi yang tidak diterapkan sepenuhnya oleh mayoritas digital library. Dari 4 digital library yang dijadikan sebagai objek pengamatan, tidak ada satupun digital library yang menerapkan arsitektur informasi secara penuh dan baik.

Electron Microscopes

Remote on-line electron microscopy is rapidly becoming more available as improvements continue to be developed in the software and hardware of interfaces and networks. Scanning electron microscopes have been driven remotely across both wide and local area networks. Initial implementations with transmission electron microscopes have targeted unique facilities like an advanced analytical electron microscope, a biological 3-D IVEM and a HVEM capable of in situ materials science applications. As implementations of on-line transmission electron microscopy become more widespread, it is essential that suitable standards be developed and followed. Two such standards have been proposed for a high-level protocol language for on-line access, and we have proposed a rational graphical user interface. The user interface we present here is based on experience gained with a full-function materials science application providing users of the National Center for Electron Microscopy with remote on-line access to a 1.5MeV Kratos EM-1500 in situ high-voltage transmission electron microscope via existing wide area networks. We have developed and implemented, and are continuing to refine, a set of tools, protocols, and interfaces to run the Kratos EM-1500 on-line for collaborative research. Computer tools for capturing and manipulating real-time video signals are integrated into a standardized user interface that may be used for remote access to any transmission electron microscope equipped with a suitable control computer.
