Sound user Interface with Touch Panel for Data and Information Expression and its Application to Meteorological Data Representation

Abstract STEP (International Standard for Product Data Representation and Exchange) is considered to be a key for the integration and exchange of product models. To achieve this objective the fundamental concept of Application Protocol has been developed. The design of an Application Protocol is composed of various processes based on different techniques. This design is vast, iterative and complex. Therefore, it seems to be necessary to develop a tool assisting the design of an Application Protocol. In this paper we describe SMGS (STEP Model Generator System), a tool that gets the different application user models and gives the corresponding STEP models and verifies the uniqueness of these models. The problems encountered using the first prototype of this tool, in the crane industry’s domain are discussed. This prototype consists of three major components: user interface module, Integrated Resources mapping module and uniqueness testing module. The object-oriented methodology is used to design the user interface. With this interface, the expert of the application’s domain, with help of data dictionary built in system, can easily access to the integrated resource models of STEP and can specialize these resources.

A new method for adaptation of touch panel user interface is proposed. The method employs a type-based approach effectively using prior information on user population which is represented by mixture model. An advantage of the approach is that we only need to estimate weights of types which is numerically far less expensive than estimating values of all attributes of the user. State space model is formalized to estimate the weights of types by supposing smoothness prior to time evolution of the weights and mixture model with the time-varying weights. Particle filter is used to estimate the weights based on observation series of user operations up to current time. An experiment on touch panel user interface demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper, we describe two explorations in the use of hybrid user interfaces for collaborative geographic data visualization. Our first interface combines three technologies: augmented reality (AR), immersive virtual reality (VR), and computer vision-based hand and object tracking. Wearing a lightweight display with an attached camera, users can look at a real map and see three-dimensional virtual terrain models overlaid on the map. From this AR interface, they can fly in and experience the model immersively, or use free hand gestures or physical markers to change the data representation. Building on this work, our second interface explores alternative interface techniques, including a zoomable user interface, paddle interactions, and pen annotations. We describe the system hardware and software and the implications for GIS and spatial science applications.

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.
