  • Interactive visualization of diversity in multivariate data sets unified across fields of study

    Creator:
    Pham, Tuan N. T.
    Abstract:
    The study of the diversity of multivariate objects shares common characteristics across disciplines, including ecology and organizational management. Nevertheless, experts in these two disciplines have adopted somewhat separate diversity concepts and analysis techniques, limiting the ability of potentially sharing and cross comparing these concerns. Moreover, while complex diversity data may...

  • Visual Analysis of Attorney Case Portfolios Over Time

    Creator:
    Nambirajan, Surendar
    Abstract:
    While individual portfolio diversity analysis is a well-studied problem in visualization, the visual analysis of individual or groups of portfolios, over time, has received little attention. Such analysis, however, is important to researchers who are interested in better understanding portfolio management behavior of experts as well as novices. We conducted...

  • Using Web Services for Image Processing in a Desktop Widgets Engine

    Creator:
    Le, Hien
    Abstract:
    Desktop widget engines have emerged as an alternative for completing simple tasks without the need for a full-blown application or constant user interaction. Widgets can simply display data in a compact and visually appealing manner (such as stock tickers, weather forecasts, and news notifications), or go so far as to...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Interactive Methods for Authoring Behaviors of Multiple Agents

    Creator:
    Iyer, Vikram
    Abstract:
    Virtual environments and simulations are being used increasingly to both visualize and understand data as well as to create scenarios for training and analysis purposes. In this paper, we are interested in the use of simulation and visualization of interactive virtual agents to create realistic motions for training scenarios. We...

  • Studies to inform a visual language for authoring interactive exercise prescriptions

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Communicating dynamic motion content, such as exercise, with a static medium, such as paper, is difficult. The technology exists for presenting 3D animated exercise content to patients; however, the tools for allowing exercise domain experts to effectively author the content do not exist. We conducted two formative studies with exercise...

  • Behavior graphs for data-driven animation of 3d characters

    Creator:
    Srinivasan, Madhusudhanan
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we present a user-in-the-loop method for the design of an interactive motion data structure that benefits from the advantages of both motion graphs and blend-based techniques. Our novel approach automatically analyzes a traditional motion graph built from labeled motion clips. The result is a more condensed, coarser...

  • Interactive human locomotion using motion graphs and mobility maps

    Creator:
    Srinivasan, Madhusudhanan
    Abstract:
    Graph-based approaches for sequencing motion capture data have produced some of the most realistic and controllable character motion to date. Most previous graph-based approaches have employed a run-time global search to find paths through the motion graph that meet user-defined constraints such as a desired locomotion path. Such searches do...

  • Interactive football playbook

    Creator:
    Neumann, Christoph
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a domain specific visual language designed to allow coaches to create content that exhibits the complex 2D interactions observed in the game of American football. Coaches can visually program the content by using symbols and drawing primitives similar to those that they currently use to design static...

  • Custom Keyboards for Inputting Programs on Touchscreen Devices

    Creator:
    Almusaly, Islam M.
    Abstract:
    Soft keyboards come in different shapes, sizes, and layouts. Each layout is designed to help the users in different inputting tasks. Most of these layouts, however, focus on general text entry as opposed to computer programs. This dissertation addresses the problems with current input mechanisms on touchscreen devices. The dissertation...
