Francese, Rita, Passero, Ignazio and Tortora, Genoveffa (2012): Wiimote and Kinect: gestural user interfaces add a natural third dimension to HCI. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces 2012. pp. 116-123.

“The recent diffusion of advanced controllers, initially designed for the home game console, has been rapidly followed by the release of proprietary or third part PC drivers and SDKs suitable for implementing new forms of 3D user interfaces based on gestures. Exploiting the devices currently available on the game market, it is now possible to enrich, with low cost motion capture, the user interaction with desktop computers by building new forms of natural interfaces and new action metaphors that add the third dimension as well as a physical extension to interaction with users. This paper presents two systems specifically designed for 3D gestural user interaction on 3D geographical maps. The proposed applications rely on two consumer technologies both capable of motion tracking: the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Kinect devices. The work also evaluates, in terms of subjective usability and perceived sense of Presence and Immersion, the effects on users of the two different controllers and of the 3D navigation metaphors adopted. Results are really encouraging and reveal that, users feel deeply immerse in the 3D dynamic experience, the gestural interfaces quickly bring the interaction from novice to expert style and enrich the synthetic nature of the explored environment exploiting user physicality.”

Lucia, Andrea De, Francese, Rita, Risi, Michele and Tortora, Genoveffa (2012): Generating applications directly on the mobile device: an empirical evaluation. In: Proceedings of the 2012 International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces 2012. pp. 640-647.

“This paper presents an investigation, based on the combined use of two techniques: a questionnaire-based survey and an empirical analysis, to assess the effectiveness and efficacy of the MicroApp environment to support End-Users in the visual composition of their own applications directly on their mobile phone. The satisfaction of the End-Users has been investigated as well. The context of this study was constituted of students, administrative personnel and consultants of the University of Salerno. The survey shows a positive satisfaction degree of all the involved subjects, while the empirical analysis reveals that the use of the Micro App tool increases the efficiency and, in case of complex tasks, also the simplicity with respect to the use of a PC-based similar tool proposed by Google.”

“Iconic languages have been frequently used in human-computer interfaces. Although the syntax of simple iconic languages may be intuitively suggested by the icons themselves, an unexperienced user might find it difficult to construct syntactically correct iconic sentences in a complex visual environment. The paper presents a technique or the generation of interactive syntax-directed iconic environments. The user can easily interact with the generated iconic environment thanks to an underlying syntactic mechanism which suggests both the current feasible set of icons and their feasible positions on the screen. We have implemented a prototype tool based on this technique and used it experimentally to generate several practical iconic environments.”
