epSpread - Storyboarding for visual analytics (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Cenydd, L., Walker, R., Pop, S., Miles, H., Hughes, C., Teahan, W., & Roberts, J. (2011, October). epSpread - Storyboarding for visual analytics. Presented at 2011 IEEE Conference on Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), Providence, Rhode Island, USA

We present epSpread, an analysis and storyboarding tool for geolocated microblogging data. Individual time points and ranges are analysed through queries, heatmaps, word clouds and streamgraphs. The underlying narrative is shown on a storyboard-styl... Read More about epSpread - Storyboarding for visual analytics.

Calibrating the Kinect with a 3D projector to create a tangible tabletop interface (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, C., Sinclair, F., Pagella, T., & Roberts, J. (2011, September). Calibrating the Kinect with a 3D projector to create a tangible tabletop interface. Poster presented at 2011 Joint Virtual Reality Conference (EuroVR-EGVE), Nottingham, UK

In this poster we present a portable and easy to calibrate 3D tabletop display enabling easy understanding of complex datasets and simulations by providing a visualization environment with natural interaction. This table enables users to interact wi... Read More about Calibrating the Kinect with a 3D projector to create a tangible tabletop interface.

A robotic needle interface for interventional radiology training (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hughes, C., & John, N. (2011, June). A robotic needle interface for interventional radiology training. Presented at The 4th Hamlyn Symposium for Medical Robotics, Imperial College, London, UK

Interventional Radiology (IR) provides a minimally invasive method for accessing vessels and organs as an alternative to traditional open surgery. By manipulating coaxially a catheter and guidewire through the vascular system, a range of pathologies... Read More about A robotic needle interface for interventional radiology training.

Using a Kinect interface to develop an interactive 3D tabletop display (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Cenydd, L., Hughes, C., Roberts, J., & Walker, R. (2011, April). Using a Kinect interface to develop an interactive 3D tabletop display. Poster presented at Eurographics 2011-Posters, Llandudno, Wales

Since the release of the motion picture ’Minority Report’ in 2002, which depicts Tom Cruise interacting with a video display using only hand gestures, there has been a significant interest in the development of intelligent display technology, that...

A model for flexible tools used in minimally invasive medical virtual environments (2011)
Journal Article
Soler, F., Luzon, M., Pop, S., Hughes, C., John, N., & Torres, J. (2011). A model for flexible tools used in minimally invasive medical virtual environments. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-60750-706-2-594

Within the limits of current technology, many applications of a virtual environment will trade-off accuracy for speed. This is not an acceptable compromise in a medical training application where both are essential. Efficient algorithms must therefor...
