The videos track is a forum for human-computer interaction that
leaps off the page: vision videos, reflective pieces, humor, novel
interfaces, studies and other moving images relevant to HCI.
This year's selections will premiere on Tuesday morning with an
encore performance later in the evening. The evening
performance culminates in the Golden Mouse award ceremony.
Popcorn and drinks are available at the evening performance only.

Finger Identification

With the advent of devices such as smart phones and tablet
computers, multi-touch applications are rapidly becoming
commonplace. However, existing multi-touch sensors are not able
to report which finger, or which hand, is responsible for each of the
touches. To overcome this deficiency we introduce a multi-touch
system that is capable of identifying the finger and hand
corresponding to each touch. The system consists of a commercially
available capacitive multi-touch display augmented with an infrared
depth camera mounted above the surface of the display. We
performed a user study to measure the accuracy of the system and
found that our algorithm was correct on 92.7% of the trials.

Vignette is an interactive system that facilitates texture creation in
pen-and-ink illustrations. Unlike existing systems, Vignette
preserves illustrators’ workflow and style: users draw a fraction of a
texture and use gestures to automatically fill regions with the
texture. Our exploration of natural work-flow and gesture-based
interaction was inspired by traditional way of creating illustrations.
We currently support both 1D and 2D synthesis with stitching. Our
system also has interactive refinement and editing capabilities to
provide a higher level texture control, which helps artists achieve
their desired vision. Vignette makes the process of illustration
more enjoyable and that first time users can create rich textures
from scratch within minutes.

Communication Technologies for the Zombie
Apocalypse: New Educational Initiatives
Jennifer Golbeck, University of Maryland, College Park, USA
The threat of the zombie apocalypse has finally begun to reach a
level of popular concern, both in the media and in government
organizations like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. The zombie apocalypse and subsequent destruction
of modern communication technologies will present a unique
challenge to future generations. This video describes new STEM
initiatives that will enable today’s children to maintain vital
information links once the undead hordes are upon us.
Designing Visualizations to Facilitate Multisyllabic
Speech with Children with Autism and Speech Delays

Champaign, USA
The ability of children to combine syllables represents an
important developmental milestone. This ability is often delayed
or impaired in a variety of clinical groups including children with
autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and speech delays (SPD). This
video illustrates some of the features of VocSyl, a real-time voice
visualization system to shape multisyllabic speech. VocSyl was
designed using the Task Centered User Interface Design
methodology from the beginning to the end of the design
process. Children with Autism and Speech Delays, targeted users
of the software, were directly involved in the development
process, thus allowing us to focus on what these children
demonstrate they require.
Experience “panavi,” Challenge to Master Professional
Culinary Arts!

This video introduces the user experience of “panavi” that
supports cooking for domestic users to master professional
culinary arts in their kitchens by managing temperature and pan
movement properly. Utilizing a sensors-embedded frying pan
wirelessly connected computer system, it analyzes sensors’ data,
recognizes users’ conditions, and provides the users situated
navigation messages. In the video, a young lady tries to cook
spaghetti Carbonara using panavi, and masters this “difficult”
menu by enjoying cooking process. The full paper of this work is
also published in CHI ‘12 conference proceedings.
