This booklet explores the technological advances and social interactions among interactive areas, surfaces and units, aiming to supply new insights into rising social protocols that come up from the experimentation and long term utilization of interactive surfaces.
This edited quantity brings jointly researchers from worldwide who examine interactive surfaces and interplay ideas inside huge monitors, wearable units, software program improvement, defense and emergency administration. supplying either concept and sensible case experiences, the authors examine present advancements and demanding situations into 3D visualization, huge surfaces, the interaction of cell phone units and big screens, wearable platforms and head fixed screens (HMD’S), distant proxemics and interactive wall screens and the way those may be hired during the domestic and paintings areas.
Collaboration Meets Interactive Spaces is either for researchers and practitioners, delivering readers with a coherent narrative into the present cutting-edge inside of interactive surfaces and pervasive reveal expertise, offering helpful instruments and methods as interactive media more and more permeates daily contexts.

Geotechnical Hazards from Large Earthquakes and Heavy Rainfalls
This publication is a set of papers awarded on the foreign Workshop on Geotechnical usual risks held July 12–15, 2014, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The workshop used to be the 6th within the sequence of Japan–Taiwan Joint Workshops on Geotechnical dangers from huge Earthquakes and Heavy Rainfalls, held lower than the auspices of the Asian Technical Committee No.
Biosilica in Evolution, Morphogenesis, and Nanobiotechnology: Case Study Lake Baikal
Lake Baikal is the oldest, private and so much voluminous lake on the earth, comprising one 5th of the World’s unfrozen clean water. It hosts the top variety of endemic animals recorded in any freshwater lake. until eventually lately it remained enigmatic why this kind of excessive variety developed within the remoted Lake Baikal.

Rekik et al. [28] examined user’s perceived difficulty of articulation multi-touch gestures. To deal with users’ variations in multi-touch input, in a previous work [13], we presented the first investigation toward understanding multi-touch gesture 36 Y. Rekik et al. variability. We described a general taxonomy to understand users’ gestures, and to derive implications of users’ variability of gesture articulation. Our taxonomy was the result of a user-centric study giving new insights into the different possible articulations of unconstrained multi-touch gestures.
For example, one participant witnessed that “when the symbol is complicated, such as a five-point star or spiral, I prefer using one finger to be accurate”. Three participants regularly used one finger to enter gestures. Two witnessed they conceptualized strokes simultaneously articulated by multiple fingers as being different, even though the movement was the same. , “I use my finger like a pen”. This finding may have implications for future finger gesture designs, as we already know that finger and pen gestures are similar but also different in many aspects [32].
Rekik et al. 1. The multiple levels of our taxonomy do not model separable attributes to be characterized individually. Instead, they represent the different aspects of a single unified dynamic mechanism employed by users in the production of a multi-touch gesture. At the highest level of our taxonomy, we model the fact that a multi-touch gesture emerges the users’ understanding of the gesture path before touching the surface. From this perspective, an external observer can only try to guess the semantic concept hidden in the user’s gesture, since it might be the case that the gesture itself is not sufficient to fully reveal user’s intention—an observation in accordance with previous studies [4, 29, 30].
