Presenting and investigating the efficacy of an educational interactive mobile application for British Sign Language using hand gesture detection techniques (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Restituyo, C., Loizides, F., Yang, S., Weir, K., Worrallo, A., Hartley, T., …Loizou, M. (2017, October). Presenting and investigating the efficacy of an educational interactive mobile application for British Sign Language using hand gesture detection techniques. Paper presented at 15th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning

In this paper we present the design and development of a mobile application that assists learners of British Sign Language. The application uses interaction; namely, image recognition of a participant's gestures to give feedback as to the correctness...

Conference Proceeding
Loizou, M., Hartley, T., Slater, S., Newman, R., & Pannese, L. (2012). Emotions for intelligent agents in crisis management simulations: A survey. In Q. Mehdi, A. Elmaghraby, I. Marshall, R. Moreton, R. Ragade, B. G. Zapirain, …N. L. Zhigiang (Eds.), 2012 17th International Conference on Computer Games (CGAMES) (213-219). https://doi.org/10.1109/CGames.2012.6314578

Intelligent agents or non-player characters (NPCs) in human interaction scenarios are required to react in ways that are consistent to the training scenario. In many cases these NPCs are controlled by a simple state machine and scripts. The use of th... Read More about Emotions for intelligent agents in crisis management simulations: A survey.
