abstract = {Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of neurocognitive disorder in aging. The main impacted activities are instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Assistance to perform IADL can help people with AD (PwAD) to stay independent longer and live at home. Such assistance can be provided remotely from a caregiver to perform certain tasks using a shared visual representation, where, for instance, audio cues by phone are not sufficient. This paper presents a preliminary design and evaluation of a system to provide a remote assistance from a caregiver to a PwAD who needs assistance, by using a shared visual representation with the caregiver. The PwAD wears an augmented reality head-mounted display and the caregiver can see his environment and add annotations in it through a desktop interface. A preliminary usability and cognitive load study with healthy adults show encouraging results, but several aspects have to be refined.},

abstract = {The keycube is a tangible cubic device including a text entry interface for different apparatuses such as augmented, mixed or virtual reality headsets, as well as smart TVs, desktop computers, laptops, tablets. The keycube comprises 80 keys equally disposed on 5 faces. In this paper we investigate keycube text entry performances and the potential typing skill transfer from traditional keyboard. Using prototype implementations, we conducted a user study comparing different cubic layouts and included a baseline from traditional keyboards. Experiments show that users are able to attain about 19 words per minute within one hundred minutes of practice with a QWERTY-based cubic layout, more than twice the speed of an unknown-based cubic layout with similar error rate, and about 30% of their speed with a traditional keyboard.},
