The development of the Internet, the Web, and Java let us believe that computing technology seems to become an integral part of our daily environment that hopefully supports us in improving the quality of life. But what does this mean to the future of information technology development? This paper presents visions towards sustainable, human-centered technology developments. New trends in human computer interaction and human information interaction are necessary for enabling even the naive user to communicate and interact with computers. What we need is a paradigm shift from the conventional information technology towards a human media technology which focus on the interaction manner between human beings and information space or amongst human beings through information space.
The compensation for brain shift is assisted by intraoperative imaging. For the purpose of fast registration and interactive visualization, a framework is presented based on local desktop computers and remote high-end...

An interactivecomputergraphics package has been developed for computer aided design of linear multivariable control systems. The package employs an effective human/computer interface achieved through the use of menus orchestrated in an hierarchial tree structure. Numerous state-of-the art design algorithms and analysis methods are incorporated which communicate through the interactive and asynchronous function control interfaces of computergraphics system, creating an environment attractive to both industrial users and academics.

A procedure is presented for the application of linear multipoint constraints. The procedure employs the transformation approach for constraint application which reduces the number of equations to be solved by the number of constraints. However, the matrix operations implied by the approach are avoided by the proper construction of the constraint equations. A specific procedure for carrying out the constraint application process as part of the assembly of the global stiffness matrix is given.

Co-registering pre- and intra- operative MR data is an important yet challenging problem due to different acquisition parameters, resolutions, and plane orientations. Despite its importance, previous approaches are often computationally intensive and thus cannot be employed in real-time. In this paper, a novel three-step approach is proposed to dynamically register pre-operative 4D MR data with intra-operative 2D RT-MRI to guide intracardiac procedures. Specifically, a novel preparatory step, executed in the pre-operative phase, is introduced to generate bridging information that can be used to significantly speed up the on-the-fly registration in the intraoperative procedure. Our experimental results demonstrate an accuracy of 0.42 mm and a processing speed of 26 FPS of the proposed approach on an off-the-shelf PC. This approach, is in particularly developed for performing intra-cardiac procedures with real-time MR guidance.

Robot-assisted surgical procedures are perpetually evolving due to potential improvement in patient treatment and healthcare cost reduction. Integration of an imaging modality intraoperatively further strengthens these procedures by incorporating the information pertaining to the area of intervention. Such information needs to be effectively rendered to the operator as a human-in-the-loop requirement. In this work, we propose a guidance approach that uses real-time MRI to assist the operator in performing robot-assisted procedure in a beating heart. Specifically, this approach provides both real-time visualization and force-feedback based guidance for maneuvering an interventional tool safely inside the dynamic environment of a heart's left ventricle. Experimental evaluation of the functionality of this approach was tested on a simulated scenario of transapical aortic valve replacement and it demonstrated improvement in control and manipulation by providing effective and accurate assistance to the operator in real-time.

We present a simplification algorithm for manifold polygonal meshes of plane-dominant models. Models of this type are likely to appear in man-made environments. While traditional simplification algorithms focus on generality and smooth meshes, the approach presented here considers a specific class of man-made models. By detecting and classifying edge loops on the mesh and providing a guided series of binary mesh partitions, our approach generates a series of simplified models, each of which better respects the semantics of these kinds of models than conventional approaches do. A guiding principle is to eliminate simplifications that do not make sense in constructed environments. This, coupled with the concept of "punctuated simplification", leads to an approach that is both efficient and delivers high visual quality. Comparative results are given.
