The Eval Tool is a usability evaluation environment which can be used to evaluate users an their behaviour while they interact with their pervasive computing environment via a mobile phone interface. The tool supports audiovisual... more
The usability of a pervasive interface is crucial because it is a quality criterion which can determine about the success or the failure of a product. The application of the user-centred design is a possibility to reach a good design.... more
Recent quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) systems with judicious exploitation of the atomic monolayer or few-layer architecture exhibit unprecedented physical properties that challenge the conventional wisdom on condensed matter physics.... more
Mobile phones are mainly interacted with through buttons, thumbwheels or pens. However, mobile devices are not just terminals into a virtual world; they are objects in a physical world. The concept of Mixed Interaction Space (MIXIS)... more
In the pervasive computing era, mobile phones and personal digital assistants are widely used for data collection. The traditional user interfaces which are employed for data collection in personal computer environments are to be modified... more
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a popular and one of the most deployed technology interventions in the developing countries. One of the primary business drivers is that it does not mandate the user to use any technologically advanced... more
Access to real-time data while in field observations is often a requested issue in environmental management. Additionally, it is easier to see that information spatially distributed where it makes sense, leveraging users of the task of... more

The proliferation of pedestrian navigation tools has made it challenging for users to avoid being confused and overwhelmed by the choices. Studies comparing mobile pedestrian navigation aides have generally based conclusions on either... more
We report on our work aimed at the generation of interfaces for mobile devices that comply with usability guidelines. We conducted a usability study that led to the definition of ten general usability guidelines for mobile devices. We... more
Mobile augmented reality has been introduced rapidly through various mobile applications ever since smart phones became widespread. Geographic information system applications, especially those using location based service, have adapted... more

This paper, which builds on Working Paper 1-Value in and of Desert Australia, is an empirically focused contribution to the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre (DK-CRC) analysis of desert settlement viability. It examines the... more
In recent years, lanthanum aluminate/strontium titanate (LAO/STO) heterointerfaces have been used to create a growing family of nanoelectronic devices based on nanoscale control of LAO/STO metal-to-insulator transition. The properties of... more
The interactive tablets (pen-based or touch screen devices) offer users a new way to run commands by drawing gestures. This induces intuitive interaction but the learning of all gestures for user can be tedious when the set of commands is... more
