14 Sep 2015TL;DR: It is argued that a deeper and more fine-grained understanding of user experience would help developing more successful ubicomp systems.
Abstract: Over the past decades, a plethora of innovative ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) systems have been constructed. The acceptance of the systems, however, depends on how users experience them in real contexts. While many of the ubicomp research projects include some form of user study, there is no overview of how user experience (UX) is approached in ubicomp research. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review of ubicomp UX studies. Our findings reveal that users‘experiences with ubicomp systems have often been investigated in rather lightweight ways, for example by addressing basic usability issues, collecting ratings by simple, predetermined scales, or producing descriptions of general experiences such as fun and trust. Based on the findings we argue that a deeper and more fine-grained understanding of user experience would help developing more successful ubicomp systems. We propose a ubicomp UX framework that can help design and evaluate ubicomp systems with a desirable set of target experiences.

20 Apr 2018TL;DR: The goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals interested in HCI outdoors to review past work, build a unifying research agenda, share ongoing work, encourage collaboration, and make plans for future meetings.
Abstract: HCI in outdoor recreation is a growing research area. While papers investigating systems in specific domains, such as biking, climbing, or skiing, are beginning to appear, the broader community is just beginning to form. The community still seems to lack a cohesive agenda for advancing our understanding of this application domain. The goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals interested in HCI outdoors to review past work, build a unifying research agenda, share ongoing work, encourage collaboration, and make plans for future meetings. The workshop will result in a report containing a research agenda, extensive annotated bibliography, an article about this topic and plans for unifying the community at future meetings.

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuum ice dynamic model was used to invert basal friction coefficient distributions using the control method and observed surface velocity data between April 2012 and July 2014, with the aim of finding locations where meltwater entered the glacier during the summer and reached the bed.
Abstract: . The marine-terminating outlet in Basin 3, Austfonna ice cap, has been
accelerating since the mid-1990s. Stepwise multi-annual acceleration
associated with seasonal summer speed-up events was observed before the
outlet entered the basin-wide surge in autumn 2012. We used multiple
numerical models to explore hydrologic activation mechanisms for the surge
behaviour. A continuum ice dynamic model was used to invert basal friction
coefficient distributions using the control method and observed surface
velocity data between April 2012 and July 2014. This has provided input to
a discrete element model capable of simulating individual crevasses, with the
aim of finding locations where meltwater entered the glacier during the summer and
reached the bed. The possible flow paths of surface meltwater reaching the
glacier bed as well as those of meltwater produced at the bed were calculated
according to the gradient of the hydraulic potential. The inverted friction coefficients show the “unplugging” of the stagnant ice
front and expansion of low-friction regions before the surge reached its
peak velocity in January 2013. Crevasse distribution reflects
the basal friction pattern to a high
degree. The meltwater reaches the bed through
the crevasses located above the margins of the subglacial valley and the
basal melt that is generated mainly by frictional heating flows either to
the fast-flowing units or potentially accumulates in an overdeepened
region. Based on these results, the mechanisms facilitated by basal meltwater
production, crevasse opening and the routing of meltwater to the bed are discussed for the surge in
Basin 3.

12 Dec 2016TL;DR: The Oculus Rift Head Mounted Display was used to navigate through a virtual 3D city model whilst conducting wayfinding and target location tasks, and simulated visual disabilities (macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and myopia), such that the user experienced them in first person.
Abstract: This paper describes the use of a head mounted display as a design tool to gain better understanding of the issues faced by visually impaired people. The Oculus Rift Head Mounted Display (HMD) was used to navigate through a virtual 3D city model whilst conducting wayfinding and target location tasks. In addition to the baseline of normal vision, we simulated visual disabilities (macular degeneration. cataracts, glaucoma and myopia), such that the user experienced them in first person. We evaluated the system with 14 design students, who found the system useful and helpful in understanding the challenges faced by the visually impaired. The method can be applied to the early design phases of architectural and space design, where 3D models are increasingly commonly used.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of texture and rheology assessment in the food industry by placing particular emphasis on dysphagia is presented, which highlights different strategies to develop appropriate food products for dysphagic patients.
Abstract: Food texture is a major food quality parameter. The physicochemical properties of food changes when processed in households or industries, resulting in modified textures. A better understanding of these properties is important for the sensory and textural characteristics of foods that target consumers of all ages, from children to the elderly, especially when food product development is considered for dysphagia. Texture modifications in foods suitable for dysphagic patients will grow as the numbers of elderly citizens increase. Dysphagia management should ensure that texture-modified (TM) food is nutritious and easy to swallow. This review addresses how texture and rheology can be assessed in the food industry by placing particular emphasis on dysphagia. It also discusses how the structure of TM food depends not only on food ingredients, such as hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and thickening and gelling agents, but also on the applied processing methods, including microencapsulation, microgels as delivery systems, and 3D printing. In addition, we address how to modify texture for individuals with dysphagia in all age groups, and highlight different strategies to develop appropriate food products for dysphagic patients.
