Interaction Design for Multimedia Technology
This event took place on Wednesday 29 April 2009 at 11:30

 
DR Hyowon Lee Centre for Digital Video Processing, CLARITY: Centre for Sensor Web Technologies, Dublin City University

Current R&D in Multimedia technology is advancing in a fierce rate and will sure to become part of our important regular items in a 'conventional' technology inventory in near future. While the R&D nature of this technology means its accuracy, reliability and robustness are not sufficient enough to be used in real world yet, we want to envision NOW the near-future where this technology will have matured and used in real applications in order to explore and start shaping many possible new ways this novel technology could be utilised. In this talk, some of this effort in designing novel applications that incorporate Multimedia technology as their backend will be presented. In addition, with some representative examples of such novel applications the problems and issues will be raised in interaction design research for novel applications and how somewhat different Human-Computer Interaction approach is required in practice.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
