The prevalence of video content consumption prompted book publishers to adopt this medium as a way to advertise books, through so called book trailers. Beyond advertising, a book’s video presentation may provide information to potential future readers so they can make an informed choice on whether consider reading it or not. StoryBook is a software tool that, through a process of knowledge extraction and media collection, supports the semi-automatic creation of multimedia trailers of books. A proof-of-concept of the tool and its user interface has been built and is available online.

Choosing between two or more alternatives, ranging from relatively simple alternatives to more complex ones, is a common and important task. Visualization techniques may help users to examine differences between such alternatives. The potential contribution of an adequate visualization may increase as the comparison becomes more complicated, when the compared alternatives include multiple dimensions, and when they are examined over time. We propose a novel visualization technique designed to represent the temporal evolution of multiple dimensions between two competitors at a glance. We exemplify how the visualization supports the comparison of two events according to their changes in eight discrete emotions over time. We report on a study that compared our suggested visualization with two common visualization techniques. User performance and preferences were measured under a formal task taxonomy, using Twitter data of real-world events. The experimental results indicate the effectiveness of our visualization as demonstrated by task completion time and accuracy.

The translation of exhibitions into digital space has become increasingly important in recent years. Further intensified by the COVID pandemic, many museums are looking for alternative solutions to make museum visits possible. In this way, they can continue to fulfil their role as an institution for the communication and presentation of cultural heritage as well as the transfer of knowledge. In an exhibition, the focus is on the exhibit with its inherent knowledge. The curators of the Office for Academic Heritage, Scientific and Art Collections of the TU Dresden, are keen to present the exhibitions that have already been held and those that are planned in an expanded setting. A virtual counterpart to the real exhibition space is to be created, which can also be filled independently of current exhibitions. As part of a course at the Faculty of Computer Science at TU Dresden, a concept for a virtual reality web application with an explorative, immersive character was developed. With the concepts of white plane and aura, the students created an open museum space that focuses on the exhibits and the knowledge transfer.

Researchers are daily engaged in bibliographic tasks concerning literature search and review, both in the role of authors of scientific papers and when they are reviewers or evaluators. Current indexing platforms poorly support the visual exploration and comparative metadata analysis coming from subsequent searches. To address these issues, we designed and realized VisualBib(va), an online visual analytics solution, where a visual environment includes analysis control, bibliography exploration, automatic metadata extraction, and metrics visualization for real-time scenarios. We introduce and discuss here the relevant functions that VisualBib(va) supports through two usage scenarios related to the creation and the review of a bibliography. Full details about the VisualBib(va) design, implementation and evaluation are available in [3]. A fully interactive environment is available at http://visualbib.uniud.it/ (video demo: http://bit.ly/3fKuZNg).

Communication can be defined as the understanding and exchanging of meaningful messages. The role of communication is central to the lives of human beings as, everyday, we use language to interact with the world around us. Linguistic skills play a fundamental role in this scenario and Language Disorders (LD) are impairments that limit the processing of linguistic information. Early and accurate identification of LD is thus essential to promote lifelong learning and well-being. From an evolutionary perspective, some human language constructs evolved from an ancestral motor system and share the same neural pathways in the Broca’s area of the brain. This suggests a correlation between action and language. If such a relationship is well established and reliable, it would be possible to use the former as a marker of the latter. The hypothesis of our work, in a nutshell, is that movement can be a predictor of language. To study this correlation, we developed C(H)o(L)ordination, a Mixed Reality (MR) application for HoloLens 2. The application offers several activities based on visual stimuli involving motor movements, which tap on the same skills needed to perform some language tasks. We performed an exploratory study with N=22 users to test the application usability and user experience. The results suggest that C(H)o(L)ordination is a usable and powerful tool to gather insights on the ongoing debate about language evolution and language disorders.

Cognitive impairment is a condition that results in a person’s inability to remember, learn, concentrate or make decisions that affect his/her everyday life. The assessment of these deficits is usually performed using standardized paper and pencil or computerized tests within a controlled clinical setting. Many traditionally designed tools show only low to moderate levels of ecological validity, limiting the reliability of the collected measures. The proposed system adapts existing screening tests within an immersive virtual reality environment with 360° video, recreating a familiar setting for the patient. This faithful reproduction of everyday environments and situations can enhance the ecological validity of the assessment procedure while maintaining a standardized stimuli delivery, all in a controlled and safe setting. As a computerized system, virtual reality technology allows an error-free computation of the test scores, here collected by means of accuracy for each task. The system involves many technologies aimed at capturing any kind of user input provided by the patient. Additionally, using a visor with integrated eye-tracker sensor, the system can register the visual exploration pattern adopted by the patient during the task execution, providing information concerning the attentional and visuo-spatial functioning which are not obtainable using traditional assessment procedures. Finally, the results of an exploratory study that was conducted with 11 users on the reliability and usability of the system are presented.

Measuring cognitive functions is a complex and challenging process, and researchers usually conduct their study in experimental settings and with standardized tests. Such an approach is raising more and more criticism. Especially about the capability of psychology’s laboratory experiments to provide generalizable and accurate indicators of impairments outside the laboratory boundaries in everyday life. This is acknowledged as the ”real-world or lab” dilemma. Most tests traditionally performed using paper-and-pencil may fail to detect the individual’s difficulties in the real world. The scientific community has launched a quest for new digitized, interactive, and more ”ecological” versions. Our work investigates a novel approach to this topic that exploits interactive Multi-Sensory Environments (iMSE) and questions how iMSEs could contribute to the neuropsychology assessment field. The paper describes NEP-Neuro-Psychological Suite, a set of game-based activities in iMSE inspired by widely adopted neuropsychological tests. The suite provides a context in which existing or new neuropsychological tests can be experimented, extended, and modified with stimuli, contents, and tasks closer to real-world situations. We report an exploratory empirical study (N=22) on a well-known test to assess attention skills, the Stroop Test. The results, although very preliminary, provide insights into the effects of transposing classic tests into a novel form and the role that iMSEs can play in the debate about the ”real-world or lab” dilemma.

This work describes an Augmented Reality Serious Game (ARSG) focused on facilitating the process of acquiring new skills in individuals with motor disabilities. In particular, this game aims to help them control a robotic wheelchair. A racing track was used as a game narrative, including restriction areas, static and dynamic objects, obstacles and various signs. A user study with 20 participants was conducted to compare different methods used to place virtual content on the real-world environment while the user interacts with the game and control the wheelchair in the physical space: C1 - motion tracking using cloud anchors; C2 - offline motion tracking. Results suggest condition C1 is more precise and robust, while condition C2 seems to be easier to configure.

As cultures and individuals, we look back to look forward, explicitly using lessons of the past to guide our future decisions. In this 30th anniversary of the AVI conference we can also look back in order to make the next 30 years even better. In 1996 I gave a keynote at the third AVI, both describing my own work in formal modelling of user interactions, and also pondering variations of ‘advanced visual interfaces’, imagining advanced aural and advanced nasal interfaces. This was part playful but also serious, uncovering the way our different senses give us different cuts through space and time. In particular, smell is deeply associated with memory both personal and spatial – that is history. In the meantime, scent has been used as a metaphor for information seeking, and now long-promised smell-based interfaces are beginning to emerge; we are about to enter an exciting world of multi-sensory experiences. However, it is on the metaphoric sense of advanced visual and nasal interaction that I want to focus now. The importance of tracing what is past and planning what is to come. This is true for our discipline as a whole, but also in moment-to-moment digital interactions. On the first of April this year, Nielsen Norman Group posted an article entitled “Support Recall Instead of Recognition in UI Design”. It was meant as an April Fool’s Day joke, but in fact the move towards gesture-based touch interactions means this is precisely how many feel today. This has exacerbated the long-term weaknesses of visual interaction heuristics and guidance when it comes to looking back, making it hard to ask, “why did that happen?”, or “how did I manage that?”, especially for older users or those who are less confident with digital technology. Finally, as we move forwards to tackle these and new issues, we need to constantly question what constitutes ‘advanced’: a fast-moving highway for a few or a wider frontier for everyone. The latter often poses the hardest design challenges but is most critical in a world where being digital is central to being a citizen.
