“…Over time, researchers have investigated using eye gaze technology (EGT), 37 capacitive floor sensors 22 and inertial orientation sensors; 21,22 colour cameras such as the Canon VC-C4, 5 the Loop Pointer 17 and MESA SR-31000 ToF cameras; 13 Siemens integrated OR system; 38 wireless hands-free surgical pointer; 29 to the Apple iPad; 17 leap motion controllers; 24–26 and the Microsoft Kinect ToF camera G1. 4,11,15–17,19,27,28 Data frequency has ranged from devices with 15-fps output, up to the leap motion controller with greater than 100-fps output. Regarding camera configurations, Chao et al 17 suggest that moving to a stereo camera set-up might improve accuracy for touchless interaction.…”

“…Voice control is generally deemed good for discrete commands, though it is not appropriate for continuous parameter adjustment, for which gestures are better suited. 14 Dictation systems require discrete commands, with Argoty and Figueroa 28 proposing two-word commands as more meaningful to the user than single-word commands. Nagy et al 39 say that increased length of commands plays a significant role in improving recognition hit rates.…”

“…As mentioned in 29 papers, and discussed on a practical level in 20 papers, voice control has been found to be slower but more accurate than gesture control, and both were slower than traditional methods. 28 Two major issues for voice control are people's accents, 7 and ambient noise, with the noise levels of an OR making voice control extremely difficult. 5 When designing a grammar for a speech recognition-based interface, care must be taken to select words that are easily recognisable for the various users of the system and sufficiently distinct from each other phonetically to avoid possible mis-recognitions.…”

The widespread use of technology in hospitals and the difficulty of sterilising computer controls has increased opportunities for the spread of pathogens. This leads to an interest in touchless user interfaces for computer systems. We present a review of touchless interaction with computer equipment in the hospital environment, based on a systematic search of the literature. Sterility provides an implied theme and motivation for the field as a whole, but other advantages, such as hands-busy settings, are also proposed. Overcoming hardware restrictions has been a major theme, but in recent research, technical difficulties have receded. Image navigation is the most frequently considered task and the operating room the most frequently considered environment. Gestures have been implemented for input, system and content control. Most of the studies found have small sample sizes and focus on feasibility, acceptability or gesture-recognition accuracy. We conclude this article with an agenda for future work.

“…For example, Ahsan, McManis, and Hashmi (2014) built a prototype for intelligent vehicle speed monitoring and management. Argoty and Figueroa (2014) developed a prototype for an interactive hospital room with natural interaction devices. Ayer, Messner, and Anumba (2014) presented a workflow model for a mobile computer-based prototype for architectural engineering students.…”

Can IT Prototyping Enhance Business School Education?

In business school, students must learn essential communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills. In this study, we examine whether the prototyping project in our computer-based information system (CBIS) course enhances these three essential skills. The prototyping process, taught with an information system approach, is the focus of our project-centered teaching method. The pedagogy uses a system development life cycle model to define problems and to analyze, design, and develop computer systems. A questionnaire administered to 184 students who had taken the course suggests that the CBIS course improves communication skills and problemsolving skills than on analytical skills. The prototyping project does not enhance analytical skills, but does significantly enhance communication skills and problem-solving skills. These findings can help to improve the teaching of CBIS to business school students.

Developing technologies for the elderly: To whom are we really developing?

The increasing number of older adults worldwide boosted the proposal of applications specifically targeting their needs. While the elderly serve as the target audience, this article argues that in many cases they are being treated as any other age group, disregarding their unique characteristics and expectations, which might eventually result in applications that, despite being used by the elderly, are adapted applications to cope with their disabilities, instead of approaches that leverage their abilities and views. As a first step of this discussion, this article aims to show how, in different stages of design and development, we are jump-starting the whole process putting our own assumptions and views where those of the elderly should be.
