KMi Seminars
Exploring the research world
This event took place on Wednesday 23 June 2010 at 11:30

 
Bram Vandeputte Hypermedia and Databases (HMDB) unit, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

In this short talk I will give an overview on ideas for using new technologies such as multi touch, tabletops and more to assist researchers in various tasks. We think of it as a research suite, where we go from very small devices and displays, such as a research pod and research pad, to extremely large displays, such as research on a tabletop, wall projections or even a projection dome. Specifically in this talk I will give an example of a researchpod app and a tabletop app. More! is a mobile application that has been developed for getting more information of a researcher during a presentation at a conference. This information includes all the papers, various contact information and even the slides of the presentation currently going on. Science table, a tabletop vizualisation, is a first attempt of providing easy access to publication data in a research field by showing connections between papers and its authors in various ways.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
