This research sought to characterize and quantify the emotional response to haptic (vibrotactile) enhancement in mobile video applications, and its impact on quality of experience. The findings reported here indicate that participants feel more emotionally involved with certain types of mobile video content when they are accompanied by haptic effects generated from the audio track. Study participants also exhibited heightened emotional arousal levels as indicated by both a physiological measure (electrodermal response rates) and a self-report. These results have important implications for mobile interaction designers, as well as mobile content providers and application developers, who wish to create engaging media experiences for mobile device users.
Optimal path selection is a fundamental problem in tourism, the influence factors of which only including the rout length, but also including weather, transportation and the scenery of attractions and other relevant factors. Therefore, route selection only based on the route length cannot capture the actual requirement. The paper studies the multi-weights (such as weather, route length, attractions scenery and etc.) in route selection, and then proposed an improved ant colony algorithm based on multi-weights (ACA-MW), which uses the multi-weights ant and the genetic variation to search optimal path. Simulated experiment of the ACA-MW shows high performance, the improved algorithm is effective. In tourism, ACA-MW can do well in optimal path selection problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
