Combining Multiple View Components for Exploratory Visualization
The analysis of structured complex data, such as clustered graph based
datasets, usually applies a variety of visual representation techniques and
formats. The majority of currently available tools and approaches to
exploratory visualization are built on integrated schemes for simultaneous
displaying of multiple aspects of studying objects and processes. Usually, such
schemes partition screen space that is composed of multiple views and adopt
interaction patterns to focus on data-driven items. Widely known concepts as
overview plus-detail and focus-plus-context are ambiguous in interpretation by
means of technical terms. Therefore, their implementation by UI design
practitioners need reviews and a classification of the basic approaches to
visual composition of graphical representation modules. We propose a
description of basic components of the view and focus and an overview of their
multiple combinations
A Robot Expressing Emotions Through Gestures: Everyone Outside of Italy Would Understand this?
In the context of our research activities on affective computing and
human-robot interaction we are working on both the recognition of human's
emotions and the expression of emotions by robots. In our vision, robots will
be increasingly present in schools, factories, and homes, and their empathetic
behavior may foster their acceptance. In particular, in one of our research, we
sought to replicate gestures associated with specific emotions on a social
robot, NAO. Our focus was on Ekman's six primary emotions, along with five
emotions selected from Plutchik's wheel of emotions. In our opinion the
cultural component linked to the expression of emotions through gestures
certainly influenced both us and the participants. Thus, we would like to
investigate the influence of our culture in the gestural expression of emotion.Comment: MedCHI workshop 202
