Motivation, participation, and engagement in human work interaction design literature
Publication . Barricelli, Barbara Rita; Clemmensen, Torkil; Campos, Pedro; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
This position paper is aimed at presenting as discussion material at the
CoPDA 2016 Workshop the preliminary results of a short review of the literature
published by the HWID community in the last 10 years in four books. Specifi
cally, the attention is posed on understanding the importance of motivation, par
ticipation, and engagement in Interaction Design projects for smart and pervasive
workplaces.
Collaboration meets interactive surfaces (CMIS): walls, tables, mobiles, and wearables
Publication . Anslow, Craig; Campos, Pedro; Grisoni, Laurent; Lucero, Andres; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
This workshop proposes to bring together researchers
who are interested in improving collaborative experiences
through the combination of multiple interaction surfaces
with diverse sizes and formats, ranging from large-scale
walls, to tables, mobiles, and wearables. The opportunities
for innovation exist, but the ITS, CHI, CSCW, and other HCI
communities have not yet thoroughly addressed the prob
lem of bringing effective collaboration activities together
using multiple interactive surfaces, especially in complex
work domains. Of particular interest is the potential synergy
that one can obtain by effectively combining different-sized
surfaces and sharing information between devices.
A mobile system for collaborative design and review of large scale virtual reality models
Publication . Campos, Pedro; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Gouveia, Duarte; Noronha, Hildegardo; Noronha, Hildegardo; Jorge, Joaquim; Jorge, Joaquim
Several tools and research prototypes have been developed with the
goal of improving the visualization, manipulation, design and review of 3D
virtual reality models. However, most of the interactive technologies deployed
in real world engineering contexts are still difficult to use. We present a novel
virtual reality system specifically designed to support the needs of engineering
teams working at oil platforms. CEDAR (Collaborative Engineering Design
And Review) is based on multitouch and accelerometer input, and was designed
and evaluated in close cooperation with researchers and engineers of a large oil
industry company. The system allows the navigation, reviewing and annotation
of 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models in a mobile, collaborative
context.
M-dimensions: a framework for evaluating and comparing interactive installations in museums
Publication . Gonçalves, Lígia; Campos, Pedro; Sousa, Margarida; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe
Designing and evaluating digital interactive experiences for
museums requires scrupulous attention to every aspect that
contributes to an engaging and rich learning experience.
The evaluation of interactive installations in museums is a
very demanding endeavor due to the intersection of multi
ple research fields, such as human computer interaction,
design and multimedia, museum studies, audience research,
etc.
In this paper we introduce a novel framework with ten di
mensions for guiding the design and evaluation of interac
tive installations, specifically tailored to museums. The
conception of the framework was based on current usability
evaluation methods and principles as well as museology
literature. It was then iteratively refined and finally validat
ed with and a long-term study about interactivity in all the
interactive museums of a specific geographic region. The results obtained emphasize the importance of adopting
the proposed framework for future research on interactive
museums evaluation.
Inhibitory activity of the peel and seed of Annona cherimola Mill. against Fusarium and Aspergillus pathogens

The food industry plays a critical role in waste production, and new studies that propose
innovative uses to bio-residue are of high importance. Annona cherimola Mill., also known as custard
apple and cherimoya, has been described as a powerful source of bioactive compounds with various
applications, such as antifungal applications. Fungal infection can lead to crop productivity limitation,
product contamination, and food loss. This work evaluates the antifungal action of Annona cherimola
Mill. oils against Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger. The oils were extracted from peel and
seeds of 8 different A. cherimola varieties exclusive to Madeira Island (Portugal) and tested for their
antifungal potential. This fruit waste was tested, using two different growth measurement methods.
The extracted oils restricted the fungi growth, providing the first insights on antifungal properties of
the varieties waste. Between the tested tissues, peel oils exhibited a slight better action over F.
oxysporum than seed oils. Overall colony expansion of F. oxysporum was better controlled by custard
apple oils than A. niger. Anis exhibited distinctive action against A. niger and Funchal, Perry Vidal,
Matteus, and Dona Mécia controlled better F. oxysporum growth, suggesting phytochemical
differences between them. There is no previous research on the biowaste oil extracts from Annona
varieties found in Madeira Island and their properties against pathogens. This study successfully opened new insights on these varieties and the results exposed interesting properties that deserve
further research.
