User Experience Engineering Adoption And Practice: A Longitudinal Case Study, Brady Edwin Redfearn
User Experience Engineering Adoption And Practice: A Longitudinal Case Study, Brady Edwin Redfearn
Theses and Dissertations
User Experience Engineering (UxE) incorporates subject areas like usability, HCI, interaction experience, interaction design, "human factors", ergonomics", cognitive psychology", behavioral psychology and psychometrics", systems engineering", [and] "computer science," (Hartson, 1998). It has been suggested that UxE will be the main success factor in organizations as we enter the "loyalty decade" of software development, where the repeat usage of a product by a single customer will be the metric of product success (Alghamdi, 2010; Law & van Schaik, 2010, p. 313; Nielsen, 2008; Van Schaik & Ling, 2011). What is relatively unknown in the current academic literature is whether existing UxE …
Face Tracking User Interfaces Using Vision-Based Consumer Devices, Norman Villaroman
Face Tracking User Interfaces Using Vision-Based Consumer Devices, Norman Villaroman
Theses and Dissertations
Some individuals have difficulty using standard hand-manipulated input devices such as a mouse and a keyboard effectively. For such users who at the same time have sufficient control over face and head movement, a robust perceptual or vision-based user interface that can track face movement can significantly help them. Using vision-based consumer devices makes such a user interface readily available and allows its use to be non-intrusive. Designing this type of user interface presents some significant challenges particularly with accuracy and usability. This research investigates such problems and proposes solutions to create a usable and robust face tracking user interface …
