An Approach to Help Functionally Illiterate People with Graphical Reading Aids
- About half the world's population is illiterate, and since the command of a (natural) language is necessary for web access, these potential users are being left out of the information society. Such persons have been called the information poo, in developed countries they will be denied access to ser

Improving Readability of Contextualized Text Explanations
- DUAL-USE OF IMAGE SPACE (DUIS) is an interactive technique for presenting text corresponding to images within the image space. From a technical point of view, the pixels in the image space are used both as text which can be read as well as for shading. This approach raises a number of interesting ne

Rendering Line-Drawings with Limited Resources
- Pictures play an important role in the communication process. Communicative goals can be expressed for instance with the specific use of different levels of abstraction in pictures. Especially in textbooks and scientific publications, images are used where the level of detail of different objects is

Contextualized Preview of Image Map Links
- Previewing links in hypertext navigation helps reduce the cognitive overhead associated with deciding whether or not to follow a link. In this paper we introduce a new concept called Dual-Use of Image Space (DUIS) and we show how it is used provide preview information of image map links. In DUIS the

Contextualized Text Explanations for Visualizations
- According to the multimedia design principle of spatial contiguity, presenting text explanations for visualizations within the image space improves the users' ability to make referential links between the text and its corresponding objects. In this paper we introduce a concept of Dual-Use of Image S

Fast Collision Detection for Haptic Displays Using Polygonal Models
- Haptic displays provide force feedback for a wide range of applications. During the haptic representation of virtual objects, one of the central tasks is to find out whether the user is inside the defined geometry and the calculation of the point on the surface to which the reaction force is dire

A.: Enrichment and Reuse of Geometric Models
- We present a method for navigating in geometric models and enrich them with additional information. This enables us to adapt geometric models to different purposes and thus to reuse them. We offer dedicated views for the structure and context information as well as for the geometric model, develop s

Generating Scientific Illustrations in Digital Books
- In this paper we introduce what we call the "text illustration problem": Given a (scientific or technical) text which a user is studying and interacting with, as well as a collection of geometric models pertaining to the domain of the text. Produce customized, accompanying illustrations. We pro
