“…At its core, HCC encapsulates research in human factors as the basis for design and development of computing systems, tools and applications [1][2][3][4]. It has grown to be an interdisciplinary theme, utilizing expertise from a diverse range of disciplines including computer science, psychology, cognitive science, sociology and anthropology.…”

The paradigm of human-centered multimedia computing (HCMC) has emerged recently as a result of the increasing emphasis on integrating the concept of human-centeredness in various aspects of multimedia computing. While many theories have been proposed to advance this paradigm, it is our belief that a complete understanding of the issues surrounding HCMC requires capturing a complementary (yet enriching) perspective through inspirations drawn from studying human disabilities and deficits. In this paper, we present the need for understanding human deficiencies in sensory, neural, and cognitive sensing/actuations which could reveal innate components of human interaction that benefits researchers, designers and developers of new multimedia solutions. We illustrate how technologies that were started with assistive and rehabilitative goals have broader impacts to the general population. More importantly, this opens up new research issues that would otherwise not have been seen when the focus is only on the "able" population. The study and understanding of the disabilities and deficits leads to a better understanding of human requirements in any human machine interaction which is important in advancing the vision and core principles of HCMC.

“…One type of these interfaces includes 3D Virtual Environments (3D-VE). 3D-VE are those VE based on 3D graphical spaces and are also known as 3D Virtual Worlds (3D-VW) [3], [8], [13], [16], [17], [20], [26], [27], [28]. Those V Es where the participants have the capacity to collaborate are called Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) [14], [21], [22], [23].…”

“…The Joint European Commission/National Science Foundation Strategy Group (integrated by experts in HCI, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, psychology, etc.) had identified Virtual Environments in general (this cover CVE and 3D-CVE or CVW) as a key research challenge and opportunities in information technology [3]; they think that the area of VEs is one where increased collaboration should speed up progress in solving some of the more intractable problems in building effective applications. Between the research areas to address in the future, they have identified (among others): challenges for VE technology and interfaces, design and evaluation of online communities for intranets and the Internet.…”

In this paper, we describe a set of tools, based on software engineering, HCI techniques and Java technologies, to support the software development process of 3D Webbased collaborative virtual worlds (CVE) populated by non autonomous interactive entities. This work is a first effort to define a methodology supported by design, analysis and implementation tools that assist the development of Webbased CVE. Our proposal emphasizes on the collaboration aspects among the entities that populate the virtual world and the services that they offer to each other in order to carry out collaboration, rather than modeling and aesthetical aspects of the worlds. This is done from conceptual, operational and implementation points of view. The tools we propose are: a model for the conceptualization of the virtual world under the concept of social groups, a graph-based high level notation to specify the interactions among the entities, and a Java-based software framework that gives support to the model and the interaction graph in order to facilitate the implementation of the CVE. We describe the current implementation of our model. At the end, w e outline how these tools could be part of a methodology for the construction of Web-based CVE and show an example of a CVE developed following the methodology and tools described.

Virtual environments (VEs) are special kinds of interactive systems currently used in many fields such as education, training and medicine. However, as VE development is relatively recent, there is little experience in the area. Software engineering, the discipline which assures quality software, has not been successfully applied to date. In developing VEs, the object-oriented software engineering paradigm is the most suitable even though principles and techniques are insufficient. In this paper, we will demonstrate this inadequacy through the development of two different VEs, identify the processes to be improved, offer a set of guidelines to improve them (coined SENDA), and present the results obtained with SENDA.
