Tracking a user's body motion, pose and the position of each limb is now possible this can help to create new interaction as well as evaluation methods.

I remember that the webpage had both the original heuristics and the improved ones listed on it, but I can't seem to find it any more. Does anyone by chance have the URL for this?

More than 100 Usability/UX researchers and practitioners have already been invited to perform this exercise and most of them agree on the fact that there is still a definite need for a standardized definition of the term UX. By sharing your views on UX, your participation in this survey will help bringing the concept of UX to maturity. Therefore, it would be a great help if you could participate and also share it with your friends or colleagues working in the field of HCI, design, marketing or IT engineering. Please find below the description of the survey and the link to participate. Thank you very much for your support and co-operation! -------------------- Get involved in UX research!

I'd be looking for something very simple, secure, reasonably priced, and cloud-based. I'd post screen shots, UML diagrams, stories, etc and the client team needs to have the ability to comment and post their own stuff. WIKI capability would be great.

Indeed, one of the most significant efforts during the evaluation process is represented by the development of accurate truth and comparing this truth to the decision of image and video processing applications. For example, datasets with ground truth labels are necessary for supervised learning of object categories. However, the cost of providing labelled data, which implies asking a human to examine images and provide labels, becomes impractical as training sets grow. The computer vision community has mainly directed its attention to develop methods for collecting</pre> Jiyin HE 2012-02-22T11:41:06 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.chi-web/5190 <pre>One of the many nice aspects of Wikipedia is that its articles typically contain various links to related articles.

This survey is part of a research study hosted at DePaul University to determine a framework for video games intrapersonal attributes. This is a follow up survey from a previous one done two months ago. The attributes we are most concerned with are challenge, control and goals. This survey in particular would help us map those attributes to different game genres. Please only respond if you are at least 18 years old and an experienced video games player. The survey is only 30 multiple choice questions so we appreciate your participation and effort. At any point during or before the survey, you can close it and your answers will not get recorded. Also, you are not liable to answer any personal information because this is an anonymous survey.

This tool is an online platform where user-centered design professionals can explore and compare UCD methods in a fast an visual way. Detailed information about each method is available, aimed at the execution of the method. The current state is that we have several prototypes, visualizing parts of the interaction that we are looking for, of which some can be seen through the link above. The design is mature to the extent that we can actually start implementing, but we need funding for that. I am sending you this e-mail because the UCD Method Exploration Tool is one of the 24 nominees for TU Delft's Innovation Award &lt;http://tudelft.nl/en/cooperation/innovation-tu-delft/&gt; , and to get to into the final round of this competition it needs your vote &lt;http://enquete.tudelft.nl/nq.cfm?q=3acb7f5c-1a4b-d1</pre> Tristan Weevers User Centered Design 2011-12-02T09:52:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.chi-web/5182 <pre>Dear Sir/Madam, I hope you are doing well.

Among others, we're looking at how different roles shape the localization of a product. For example, what preconceptions and competences do UI experts bring to software localisation? To this end, we're looking for participants willing to complete a 20 minute survey. Participants should have worked on international/localised software in an active role, e.g. software engineers, user interface designers, project managers, translators etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
