abstract = {In recent years augmented reality applications have been increasingly demonstrating the requirement for an interaction with information related to and directly shown in the surrounding environment. Situated information is visualized in its semantic and spatial context, building up an environment enhanced by an information level that dynamically adapts to the production of the information and to the actions of the user. The exploration and manipulation of this type of data through see-through augmented reality devices still represents a challenging task. The development of specific interaction strategies capable to mitigating the current limitations of augmented reality devices is essential. In this context, our contribution has been to design possible solutions to address some of these challenges allowing a dynamic interaction with situated information. Following the visual "information-seeking mantra" proposed by Shneiderman and introducing some "superpowers" for the users, in this work we present different strategies aimed at obtaining an overview and filtering, and acquiring details of a collection of situated data.},

abstract = {In recent years, virtual reality technologies have been improving in terms of resolution, convenience and portability, fostering their adoption in real life applications. The Vive Controllers and Leap Motion are two of the most commonly used low-cost input devices for interactions in virtual environments. This paper discusses their differences in terms of interaction design, and presents the results of a user study focusing on manipulation tasks, namely Walking box and blocks, Block tower and Numbered cubes tasks, taking into account both quantitative and qualitative observations. The experimental findings show a general preference for the Vive Controllers, but also highlight that further work is needed to simplify complex tasks.},

abstract = {This technical report presents MITO, an open software environment for medical image acquisition, processing, visualization, and navigation. The system is able to interact with PACS servers conforming to the DICOM 3.0 standard in order to retrieve and send radiological image data. Acquired 2D images can be manipulated with MITO for basic operations and advanced processing, like image segmentation, region extraction, image fusion, 3D reconstructions. Advanced 2D and 3D user interfaces allow users to interact with medical images and volumes through various input devices or in a completely touchless way. The high number of downloads of the software system, along with its widespread use in numerous experimental scenarios, show the high extensiveness and performance of the features developed.},

La prima strategia, raccomandata, prevede l'uso della libreria VES (Kitware) per eseguire i render sul dispositivo, fornendo una comoda base di sviluppo limitandosi alle piattaforme supportate. La seconda strategia prevede l'uso delle tecnologie HTML5 e WebGL, eseguendo i render sul dispositivo, permettendo l'esecuzione del software su tutte le architetture che supportano tali standard. La terza ed ultima strategia, prevede lo sviluppo di un thin client per ciascuna piattaforma supportata che si appoggi ad una render farm remota per l'esecuzione dei calcoli grafici.},

abstract = {EICS4Med was held in conjunction with EICS2011 in Pisa. Many challenges to designing innovative healthcare applications where identified, including the tendency to design conservatively to avoid patient harm and the difficulties of establishing rich communications between clinicians and engineers. In considering the timescales for developments, the group concluded that technical developments are more easily achieved than the equally essential cultural changes, such that which errors are accepted and regarded as learning opportunities, and investment is directed toward the design of safer, more usable systems.},
