Monitoring children's developmental progress using augmented toys and activity recognition
Tracy L. Westeyn,Gregory D. Abowd,Thad Starner,Jeremy Johnson,Peter Presti,Kimberly A. Weaver +5 more
TL;DR: The design of a collection of smart toys that can be used to automatically characterize the way in which a child is playing are discussed and statistical models are used to provide objective, quantitative measures of object play interactions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An empirical task analysis of warehouse order picking using head-mounted displays
TL;DR: This work presents a method involving an easily reproducible ecologically motivated order picking environment for quantitative user studies designed to reveal differences in interactions and provides a detailed analysis of the strategies adopted by participants.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Understanding information preview in mobile email processing
TL;DR: This work investigated participants' email processing behaviors under differing preview conditions in a semi-controlled, naturalistic study, and suggested that a moderate level of two to three lines of preview should be the default.

A robust algorithm for detecting speech segments using an entropic contrast
TL;DR: An entropy based contrast function between the speech segments and the background noise is proposed, which exhibits better-behaved characteristics as compared to the energy-based methods.
