We explore the use of modern recommender system technology to address the problem of learning software applications. Before describing our new command recommender system, we first define relevant design considerations. We then discuss a 3 month user study we conducted with professional users to evaluate our algorithms which generated customized recommendations for each user. Analysis shows that our item-based collaborative filtering algorithm generates 2.1 times as many good suggestions as existing techniques. In addition we present a prototype userinterface to ambiently present command recommendations to users, which has received promising initial user feedback.

Rapid dissemination of DT-MRI devices has recently evoked intensive research to come up with effective methods for grasping the structural features of acquired 3D diffusion tensor fields. In this paper, we further explore the potential of haptization in conjunction with visualization to represent different levels of information on the DT-MRI datasets. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a sophisticated method for utilizing diffusion-based tractography textures mapped on cross-sections to visualize local structures such as nerve tracts, together with appropriate 6DOF haptic transfer functions to haptize elementary diffusion properties. We illustrate the effectiveness of a prototype system featuring a PHANToM Premium 3.0 with an application to a practical DT-MRI human brain dataset.

The idea of adding the SubSmell logo to the movie for describing the scent of each event in the movie has been proposed to improve the current way of seeing movies, which can perceive only pictures and sound. Using the SubSmell, the audience can smell the movie. The audiences need a SubSmell application to read a SubSmell and an olfactory display in order to release scent. There are two main parts in SubSmell system, which are an olfactory display and a SubSmell application. An olfactory display consists of a control box and four smell boxes with four fans. Fans will be turned on and release scents when receiving the signal from a SubSmell application. A SubSmell application is designed to read a SubSmell in the movie and decide to send signals to an olfactory display. A SubSmell application consists of four major components: 1) Movie Controlling, 2) SubSmell Reading, 3) Scent Releasing and 4) Olfactory Display Monitoring. We use Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to develop the userinterface and the SubSmell components. The experiment was done in order to assess the following qualities: 1) Usability: to prove that the system can read a SubSmell in the movie and release scent. 2) Efficiency: to show that the system can work with high accuracy.
