Diplomarbeit: Usability engineering for ubiquitous computing (augmented reality & tangible computing) Supervisor: Christian Sandor <Chris Kulas> <kulas@in. tum. de> 11. 2002

Chris Kulas (Usability) • Up to the present day usability research for newgeneration human-computer interfaces often neglected Technology comes first • Why usability engineering? obtain usable, useful products • Focus on usability evaluation • Rough life-cycle of usability engineering: ( Req. analysis / specification implementation / prototypes evaluation )* 11. November 2002 1

Chris Kulas (Usability) cont. • Goal: Development of an evaluation framework which can be applied to future projects at the institute Deliverable: Usability Evaluation HOW-TO 1 Evaluation framework will be applied on ARCHIE (“sample”) in a larger (about 30 participants) evaluation environment 2 Rough structure of thesis: – Foundation (introduction, terms, basic design guidelines) – “Software” engineering (RA, SD, IMPL) – Sample ARCHIE (application, recommendations) 11. November 2002 1

Diploma Thesis Data Management for Augmented Reality Applications Supervisor: Martin Bauer < Marcus Tönnis > <toennis@in. tum. de> 11. 2002

Thesis: Data Management One World – One Model A dilemma: • • Presently, DWARF only supports scene models inside the views User interaction only modifies view's scene graph Consistency between different views can just be done by large Applications upon DWARF A framework needs an organized data management Marcus. Tönnis 11. November 2002 1

Thesis: Data Management Data management • One model holding all built structural shapes minimizes applications and enriches DWARF functionality. Requirements: • • Intelligent distribution of model data for reduzing middleware load Efficient update mechanisms for fast refreshes in views Marcus. Tönnis 11. November 2002 1

Thesis: Data Management (cont. ) Additional issues: • • Different users want to see varying views Current used browsers do not support persistent storage of dynamic changing models Developing work requires history and templates Default handling of different browsers Marcus. Tönnis 11. November 2002 1

Thesis: Data Management (cont. ) Goals of Thesis: • • • Discovering efficient ways to keep a distributed system without a bottleneck Design and implementation of a component for the DWARF Verifying this work within the ARCHIE project Marcus. Tönnis 11. November 2002 1

Diploma Thesis New Calibration Methods for Augmented Reality Supervisor: Martin Bauer < Bernhard Zaun > < zaun@in. tum. de > 11. 2002

Diplomarbeit: Calibration What is calibrating needed for? • For ARCHIE user interfaces a calibrating routine is needed • Calibrate the user input devices as comfortable as possible 11. November 2002 1

Diplomarbeit: Calibration The Problem: • How to overlay the virtual object with the real object? 11. November 2002 1

Diplomarbeit: Calibration Goals of thesis: • Adjust the available tracking components • Enhance SPAAM (Single point active alignment method) • Calibrate virtual cameras – See-through HMD (polarization, – See-through laptop shutter glasses) • For the use of ARCHIE and other DWARF applications 11.

SEP: Security Model for DWARF Supervisor: Asa Mc. Williams < Franz Strasser > Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Softwaretechnik Institut für Informatik Technische Universität München <strassef@in. tum. de> 11. 2002

SEP: Security Model for DWARF • • • Security Model: Access Control Why do we need Access Control ? – All services in DWARF have equal access privilieges – ARCHIE defines different roles (architect, customer, construction engineer) – This roles have different access priviliges to the world model What do we need ? – We need a possibility to map these roles to allowed tasks – It should be ensured that only authorized entities (persons, services) can connect to the system 11. November 2002 1

SEP: Security Model for DWARF Goals: Task Change 3 DModel Role Architect : architect A : architect B can perform : view Role Customer : customer A : customer B : worldmodel Task Tracking can perform : tracker : callibration • Definition • Checking • Discovery 11. November 2002 1

SEP: Driver development for Touch. Glove input device 11. 2002

SEP: Touch. Glove driver development • What is the Touch. Glove ? – New Input device developed by Columbia University – Designed as indoor and outdoor device – Free hands while working • Our Problem: – No driver for Linux and Mac OS X available 11. November 2002 1

SEP: Touch. Glove driver development • Goals of the SEP: – Development of a low level driver communicating with the Touch. Glove over serial port – Implementation of a Touch. Glove interpreter, which turns the raw data of Touch. Glove into DWARF-usable events – Development of a visual tool for generating interpreter profiles – Development of a tool for visualizing the Touch. Glove activities – Testing the Touch. Glove in the ARCHIE scenario 11. November 2002 1

SEP: Design of a 3 D Viewer for DWARF 11. 2002

SEP: Design of a 3 D Viewer for DWARF Why is a new Viewer needed? • • Available Solutions mostly are “only” Browsers. Most Browsers have been designed for Desktop or VR Applications. Non of the Browsers is available for all Plattforms. Different Standards for each Browser. What do we need ? • • Crossplattform Solution. Viewing AND Interaction. Matching requirements for distributed Systems. Easy to Use and to Configure. Re-Useable. 11. November 2002 1

SEP: Design of a 3 D Browser for DWARF Goals of the SEP: • • Evaluation of Graphics Standards especially Open Inventor vs. Open. SG. Implementation of a Browser based on the chosen Standard.
