With physical mobile interaction techniques, digital devices can make use of real-world objects in order to interact with them. In this paper, we evaluate and compare state-of-the-art interaction methods in an extensive survey with 149 participants and in a lab study with 16 participants regarding efficiency, utility and usability. Besides radio communication and fiducial markers, we consider visual feature recognition, reflecting the latest technical expertise in object identification. We conceived MobiMed, a medication package identifier implementing four interaction paradigms: pointing, scanning, touching and text search.
We identified both measured and perceived advantages and disadvantages of the individual methods and gained fruitful feedback from participants regarding possible use cases for MobiMed. Touching and scanning were evaluated as fastest in the lab study and ranked first in user satisfaction. The strength of visual search is that objects need not be augmented, opening up physical mobile interaction as demon- strated in MobiMed for further fields of application.
Abstract
Human–computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use. The field formally emerged out of computer science, cognitive psychology and industrial design through the 1960s, formulating guidelines for the development of interactive computer systems highlighting usability concerns for improved interfaces. Computing devices are becoming more prevalent and integrated into both our social and work spaces.HCI therefore plays an important role in ensuring that computer systems are not only functional but also respect the needs and capabilities of the humans that use them.
HCI encompasses not only ease of use but also new interaction techniques. It involves input and output devices and the interaction techniques that use them; presentation of information, control and monitoring of computer’s actions and the processes that developers follow when creating interfaces. In this seminar, emphasis is laid on the movement of a user’s eyes which can provide a convenient, natural, and high-bandwidth source of additional user input. Some of the human factors and technical considerations that arise in trying to use eye movements as an input medium and the first eye movement-based interaction techniques are discussed in this section.

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new product inwhich speech is used to interact with computers. Speech is a man’s most powerful form
of communication. The user will be able to give various voice commands to the system, which the system will recognize and
execute tasks based on the input command. This system will provide another form of input (apart from mouse and keyboard) for
daily users. It will also be of great assistance to physically challenged users. The user will be able to perform all the operations
using his voice as input which he is able to perform normally using mouse and keyboard. The system however requires a little bit
training from the user, so that the system will understand the user better. The need of training is due to the fact that every person
has different voice. Also the voice of women is totally distinct from men. More training will result in faster and accurate response.
Extensive experiments are conducted in order to check the accuracy and efficiency of the system, and the results show that our
system is reliable and achieves better accuracy and efficiency than previous systems.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Multimodal HCI System
› Combination of multiple modalities, or usage of more than
one independent channel signals for the interaction between
a user and a machine is termed as multimodal human
computer interaction system (MMHCI).
› A multimodal interface acts as a facilitator of human-
computer interaction via two or more modes of input.
– Input: voice, pen, gesture, face expression, etc.
– Output: voice, graphical output, etc.
3. A classic example of a multimodal system is the “Put That
There” system.(Bolt,1980)
5. 5
Multimodal Systems – Why?
› Provide transparent, flexible, and powerfully expressive means
of HCI.
› Easier to learn and use.
› Robustness and Stability.
› If used as front-ends to sophisticated application systems,
conducting HCI in modes all users are familiar with, then the
cost of training users would be reduced.
› Potentially user, task and environment adaptive.
7. • Inputs: An interactive multimodal implementation will use multiple input
modes such as audio, speech, handwriting, and keyboarding, and other
input modes.
• Outputs: An interactive multimodal implementation will use one or more
modes of output, such as speech, text, graphics, audio files, and
animation.
• Interaction manager: The interaction manager is the logical component
that coordinates data and manages execution flow from various input
and output modality component interface objects. The interaction
manager maintains the interaction state and context of the application
and responds to inputs from component interface objects and changes
in the system and environment. In some architectures the interaction
manager may be implemented as one single component. In other
architectures the interaction manager may be treated as a composition
of lesser components. Composition may be distributed across process
and device boundaries.
8. Multimodal interfaces process two or more combined user
input modes— such as speech, pen, touch, manual gestures,
gaze, and head and body movements— in a coordinated
manner with multimedia system output. They are a new class
of interfaces that aim to recognize naturally occurring forms of
human language and behavior, and which incorporate one or
more recognition-based technologies (e.g., speech, pen, vision).
9. Challenges for multimodal interface design
› More than 2 modes –e.g. spoken, gestural, facial
expression, gaze; various sensors
› Inputs are uncertain –vs. Keyboard/mouse
– Corrupted by noise
– Multiple people
› Recognition is probabilistic
› Meaning is ambiguous
10. Approach
Gain robustness via
– Fusion of inputs from multiple modalities
– Using strengths of one mode to compensate for
weaknesses of others—design time and run time
– Avoiding/correcting errors
– Statistical architecture
– Confirmation
– Dialogue context
– Simplification of language in a multimodal context
– Output affecting/channeling input
11. Differences Between Multimodal Interfaces
and GUIs
GUI
1. Assume that there is a single event
stream that controls event loop with
processing being sequential.
2. Assume interface actions (e.g. selection
of items) are atomic and unambiguous.
3. Built to be separable from application
software and reside centrally on one
machine.
4. Do not require temporal constraints.
Architecture not time sensitive.
MULTI-MODAL
1. Typically process continuous and
simultaneous input from parallel incoming
streams.
2. Process input modes using recognition
based technology, good at handling
uncertainty.
3. These have large computational and
memory requirements and are typically
distributed over the network.
4. Require time stamping of input and
development of temporal constraints on
mode fusion operations.
12. Application Areas
› Driver Monitoring
› Architecture and Design
› Geographical Information Systems
› Emergency Operations
› Field-based Operations
› Mobile Computing and Telecommunications
› Virtual Reality
› Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing
› Computer-Supported Collaborative Work
› Education and Entertainment
› Intelligent Homes/Offices
› Intelligent Games
› Helping People with Disabilities

Interaction manager — The interaction manager is the logical component that coordinates data and manages execution flow from various input and output modality component interface objects. The interaction manager maintains the interaction state and context of the application and responds to inputs from component interface objects and changes in the system and environment. The interaction manager then manages these changes and coordinates input and output across component interface objects. The Interaction manager is discussed insection 6.
In some architectures the interaction manager may be implemented as one single component. In other architectures the interaction manager may be treated as a composition of lesser components. Composition may be distributed across process and device boundaries.
CSCW [is] a generic term, which combines the understanding of the way people work in groups with the enabling technologies of computer networking, and associated hardware, software, services and techniques.
Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is the growing trend towards embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information. The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing devices are completely connected and constantly available.
