Mix-Device Interaction
Using the growing quantity of electronics around us we can’t ignore the requirement for mix-device interaction. It’s time to investigate the potential for existing interaction techniques and think of a flexible and extensible method to allow all of our devices to talk with one another.
Mix-Media Information Spaces and Architectures
We investigate conceptual models and architectures for that representation and integration of knowledge across media limitations. It’s time to question existing document formats that are greatly in line with the simulation of paper on static personal computers and to generate innovative information concepts for that representation of open and fluid mix-media “documents”.
M-learning
Different research topics and projects of WISE are based on Mobile 2. learning.
MindXpres – An Extensible Content-driven Mix-Media Presentation Tool
Existing presentation tools for example Microsoft’s PowerPoint, Apple’s Keynote or OpenOffice Impress represent a de facto standard for giving presentations. We question these existing slide-based presentation solutions because of a few of their natural limitations. Our new MindXpres presentation tool addresses these complaints by presenting a significantly new presentation format. Additionally to some obvious separation of content and visualisation, our HTML5 and JavaScript-based presentation solution offers advanced features like the non-straight line traversal from the presentation, hyperlinks, transclusion, semantic linking and navigation of knowledge, multimodal input, dynamic interaction using the content, the import of exterior presentations and much more.
Personal Mix-media Information Management
Every day users find it difficult to organse and re-find their stored documents, photos or emails.
Personal Mix-Media Information Management investigates the possibilities to supply the consumer with an alternative choice to the Desktop Metaphor where we step from the file hierarchies accustomed to store our information. Our mix-media PIM product is an answer which unifies all organisational structures for example email, bookmark and file hierarchies but the physical classification structures for example book shelves or piles of papers around the desk.
Presentation Tools
Using more than $ 30 million PowerPoint presentations which are produced each day, we can’t disregard the prevalent and high utilization of slideware presentations in domains for example education or business. Within WISE various projects center around the domain of presentation tools as well as their related aspects.
Serious Games
The objective of these studies subject would be to perform research on development means of serious games, that are games employed for training, advertising, simulation, or education.
The aim of the expansion methods is to alleviate the growth and development of serious games and to match a larger participation from the different stakeholders throughout the development process.
We investigate adaptativity (i.e. dynamic adaptation) for serious games. that has the goal to evolve a significant games to various characteristics from the player in addition to the performance from the player.
In addition, we investigate how non-player figures can be created more relalistic within their behavior and interaction.
