Gaze-based text spellers have proved useful for people with severe motor diseases, but lack acceptance in general human-computer interaction. In order to use gaze spellers for public displays, they need to be robust and provide an intuitive interacti...
Text entry remains a bottleneck for productivity-oriented Virtual Reality (VR), especially in scenarios where optical hand tracking is unstable because of self-occlusion, poor lighting, or out-of-view interaction. We present SlideRing, a dual-thumb w...
Patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) frequently lose the ability to communicate through speech or writing. However, their cognitive and sensory functions are often relatively preserved. In Japan, the tr...
We present FingerType, a one-handed text input method based on thumb-to-finger gestures. FingerType detects tap events from 3D hand data using a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) and decodes the tap sequence into words with an n-gram language mode...
Contactless text entry is increasingly important in immersive and constrained computing environments, yet most vision-based approaches rely on character-level recognition or key localization, which are fragile under monocular sensing. This study inve...

Virtual reality technology promises to transform immersive experiences across various applications, particularly within office environments. Despite its potential, the challenge of achieving efficient text entry in virtual reality persists. This stud...
The drum-like virtual reality (VR) keyboard is a contemporary, controller-based interface for text input in VR that uses a drum set metaphor. The controllers are used as sticks which, through downward movements, “press” the keys of the vi...
In this paper, we investigate the possibilities for augmenting interaction around the mobile device, with the aim of enabling input techniques that do not rely on typical touch-based gestures. The presented research focuses on utilizing a built-in ma...
This entry presents a conceptual approach for how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to support high school and college students’ reading comprehension of complex texts across disciplines, using the Revised Metacognitive Awareness of Read...
Few would expect women to feature often in the literature on minerology from the 15th through the 19th centuries, the recorded history of science being what it is. Among the approximately 1500 scholars in a massive catalogue of authors of mineralogy...
The article suggests a Value Proposition (VP) framework that enables analysis of the beneficial impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) resources and capabilities on specific VP activities. To develop such a framework, we examined existing business an...
This entry displays the Val.Es.Co. model for discourse segmentation in units and positions. In its latest updated version, the model offers a relation of eight discourse units and seven positions for analyzing spoken discourse. The last extension of...
The individual, as found primarily in modern Western civilization, is defined as “the independent, autonomous and thus (essentially) nonsocial moral being”, “the rational being” who is “the normative subject of instituti...
New health-related concepts, terms, and topics emerge, and the meanings of existing terms and topics keep changing. This study investigated and explored the evolutions of the women’s health topic on Wikipedia. The creation time, page views data...
This paper presents the exploratory potential of entries in prayer books of intentions displayed in places of worship and in their online counterparts—virtual boxes of intentions. By reporting the happiness, dramas, and the whole element of human exi...
AI-pervasive higher education is used in this entry as a working descriptor, adopted by the authors rather than drawn from an established terminology, for assessment environments in which students can readily use generative systems to produce or tran...
Text data often exhibits high sparsity and zero inflation, where a substantial proportion of entries in the document–keyword matrix are zeros. This characteristic presents challenges to traditional count-based models, which may suffer from redu...
Background and Objectives: Since its invention in the 1970s, the cochlear implant (CI) has been substantially developed. We aimed to assess the trends in the published literature to characterize CI. Materials and Methods: We queried PubMed for all CI...
