Enhancing virtual reality systems with smart wearable devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
The proliferation of wearable and smartphone devices with embedded sensors has enabled researchers and engineers to study and understand user behavior at an extremely high fidelity, particularly for use in industries such ...
Towards a human-centered E-Commerce personalization framework
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
This paper presents a personalization framework, namely PersonaWeb that adapts the visual and interaction design of E-Commerce Web environments based on human cognitive differences. In particular, it describes a user model ...
Towards enabling hyper-responsive mobile apps through network edge assistance
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
Poor Internet performance currently undermines the efficiency of hyper-responsive mobile apps such as augmented reality clients and online games, which require low-latency access to real-time backend services. While ...
High-dimensional visual similarity search: K-d generalized randomized forests [extended abstract]
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016)
We propose a new data-structure, the generalized random-ized k-d forest, or k-d GeRaF, for approximate nearest neigh-bor searching in high dimensions. In particular, we intro-duce new randomization techniques to specify a ...
A computer mouse for stress identification of older adults at work
(CEUR-WS, 2016)
Stress is an unpleasant condition that entails negative emotions such as fear, worry and nervousness. Motivated by existing research that accompanies stress with physical reactions like increased heart rate, blood volume, ...
