Automatically Classifying Familiar Web Users From Eye-Tracking Data:A Machine Learning Approach, Meli̇h Öder, Şükrü Eraslan, Yeli̇z Yesi̇lada Jan 2022

Automatically Classifying Familiar Web Users From Eye-Tracking Data:A Machine Learning Approach, Meli̇h Öder, Şükrü Eraslan, Yeli̇z Yesi̇lada

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Eye-tracking studies typically collect enormous amount of data encoding rich information about user behaviours and characteristics on the web. Eye-tracking data has been proved to be useful for usability and accessibility testing and for developing adaptive systems. The main objective of our work is to mine eye-tracking data with machine learning algorithms to automatically detect users' characteristics. In this paper, we focus on exploring different machine learning algorithms to automatically classify whether users are familiar or not with a web page. We present our work with an eye-tracking data of 81 participants on six web pages. Our results show that …


Immersive Virtual Reality Attacks And The Human Joystick, Peter Casey, Ibrahim Baggili, Ananya Yarramreddy Mar 2019

Immersive Virtual Reality Attacks And The Human Joystick, Peter Casey, Ibrahim Baggili, Ananya Yarramreddy

Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

This is one of the first accounts for the security analysis of consumer immersive Virtual Reality (VR) systems. This work breaks new ground, coins new terms, and constructs proof of concept implementations of attacks related to immersive VR. Our work used the two most widely adopted immersive VR systems, the HTC Vive, and the Oculus Rift. More specifically, we were able to create attacks that can potentially disorient users, turn their Head Mounted Display (HMD) camera on without their knowledge, overlay images in their field of vision, and modify VR environmental factors that force them into hitting physical objects and …


Considering Etiquette In The Design Of An Adaptive System, Michael C. Dorneich, Patricia May Ververs, Santosh Mathan, Stephen Whitlow, Caroline C. Hayes Jan 2012

Considering Etiquette In The Design Of An Adaptive System, Michael C. Dorneich, Patricia May Ververs, Santosh Mathan, Stephen Whitlow, Caroline C. Hayes

Michael C. Dorneich

In this article, the authors empirically assess the costs and benefits of designing an adaptive system to follow social conventions regarding the appropriateness of interruptions. Interruption management is one area within the larger topic of automation etiquette. The authors tested these concepts in an outdoor environment using the Communications Scheduler, a wearable adaptive system that classifies users' cognitive state via brain and heart sensors and adapts its interactions. Designed to help dismounted soldiers, it manages communications in much the same way as a good administrative assistant. Depending on a combination of message priority, user workload, and system state, it decides …


Communication Blades: Modular Communications For Tangible And Embedded Interfaces, Karun Kumar Kallakuri Jan 2006

Communication Blades: Modular Communications For Tangible And Embedded Interfaces, Karun Kumar Kallakuri

LSU Master's Theses

Bladed Tiles is a modular hardware toolkit for building tangible and embedded interface devices. It includes “function blades” and “interaction tiles,” which can provide a flexible, inexpensive, open-ended platform for constructing a wide variety of tangible and embedded interfaces. In this paper, we propose Communication Blades. These are a class of electronic modules with varied computational capabilities for interfacing devices built using bladed tiles toolkit and also for interfacing embedded devices as adapters with external communication networks. These blades provide flexibility by offering the ability to select between different communication technologies and connectivity by providing devices with interoperability over different …


Seven Principles Of Efficient Human Robot Interaction, Michael A. Goodrich, Dan R. Olsen Jr. Oct 2003

Seven Principles Of Efficient Human Robot Interaction, Michael A. Goodrich, Dan R. Olsen Jr.

Faculty Publications

Advances in robot technology and artificial intelligence have increased the range of robot applications as well as the importance of supporting human interaction with robots and robot teams. Previous work by the authors has highlighted the importance of creating neglect tolerant autonomy and efficient interfaces. In this paper, lessons learned from evaluating neglect tolerance and interface efficiency are compiled into a set of principles for efficient interaction. Emphasis is placed on designing efficient interfaces, but many of the principles require autonomy levels that support the principles. Each principle is illustrated by an example and motivated by citing relevant factors from …
