A Model Proposal for Augmented Reality Game Creation to Incentivize Physical Activity
(2017)Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are relevant issues in today’s society. Even though different resources can be used to approach this problem, technology provides endless possibilities to fight against this problem. This ... -
Sign Language Recognition Using Leap Motion
(2015-12-01)Several million people around the world use signs as their main mean of communication. The advances in technologies to recognize such signs will make possible the computer supported interpretation of sign languages. There ... -
Sign language recognition model combining non-manual markers and handshapes
(2016-11-29)People with disabilities have fewer opportunities. Technological developments should be used to help these people to have more opportunities. In this paper we present partial results of a research project which aims to ... -
Automatic recognition of the American sign language fingerspelling alphabet to assist people living with speech or hearing impairments
(2017-03-22)Sign languages are natural languages used mostly by deaf and hard of hearing people. Different development opportunities for people with these disabilities are limited because of communication problems. The advances in ... -
Human aspects of ubiquitous computing: a study addressing willingness to use it and privacy issues
(2017)Identifying the human aspects related to ubiquitous systems focused on people’s willingness to use them and privacy concerns was our goal. We selected two ubiquitous systems: a wearable system (Google Glass) and an embedded ... -
Building a Personalized Cancer Treatment System
(2016)This paper reports the process by which a personalized cancer treatment system was built, following a user-centered approach. We give some background on personalized cancer treatment, the particular tumor chemosensitivity ... -
Design and Evaluation of a Personalized Cancer Treatment System using Human-Computer Interaction Techniques
(2016)This paper presents a case study where Human-Computer Interaction techniques were applied in the design and evaluation of a health system. The system consisted of a software platform that supports personalized cancer ... -
An Empirical Validation of an Automated Genetic Software Effort Prediction Framework Using the ISBSG Dataset
(2016-04)The complexity of providing accurate software effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Several prediction models have been proposed in the literature using different techniques, with different ... -
A Comparison between a Relational Database and a Graph Database in the context of a Personalized Cancer Treatment Application
(2016)This paper presents a performance comparison between a relational database (implemented in MySQL) and a graph database (implemented in Neo4j). Unlike traditional benchmarks, this comparison is made in the context of a real ... -
Function Point Structure and Applicability: A Replicated Study
(2016)The complexity of providing accurate functional software size and effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Function point analysis (FPA) is currently one of the most accepted software functional ... -
Development and Evaluation of Augmented Object Prototypes for Notifications in Collaborative Writing Environments
(2016)In Ubiquitous Computing, augmented objects refer to those elements of the real world which have been provided with computational capabilities to meet a specific need. Meanwhile, Collaborative Writing Environments (CWE) ... -
Ubiquitous Notification Mechanism to Provide User Awareness
(2016)Awareness could be defined as the knowledge that the user has of a particular activity, either individual or collaborative. Good awareness mechanisms provide information to the user at the right time so that s/he can know ... -
Using Non-Traditional Interfaces to Support Physical Therapy for Knee Strengthening
(2016)Physical therapy consists mainly in the execution of rehabilitation processes that aim to help overcome injuries, as well as develop, maintain, or restore maximum body movement. Knee rehabilitation is one kind of physical ... -
Improving deaf people accessibility and communication through automatic sign language recognition using novel technologies
(2016)Communication is a key for human development. Nevertheless, deaf people have difficulty interacting with hearing and hard of hearing people. On the other hand, new technology allows gesture recognition. This work aims ... -
Alternative and augmentative communication for people with disabilities and language problems: an eye gaze tracking approach
(2016)Alternative and augmentative communications encapsulates the use of technology to provide communication means for people with some sort of disability. In this paper, we present a prototype that provides both pictographic ...
