HCIisamultidisciplinaryfieldfocusedonhumanaspectsofthedevelopmentofcomputer
technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive—not just in
developed countries, but worldwide—the need to take a human-centered approach in the
design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30
years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have
worked to identify theory and practice that influences the direction of these technologies,

Preface
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a research area in Computer Science
concerned with the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive systems,
wheretheuseristhekeyandthecenteroftheprocess.Manydisciplinesareclosely
related to HCI: psychology, cognitive science, ergonomics, sociology, business,
graphicdesign,collaboration,softwareengineering,andsoforth.Itsmainobjective
relies on the study of human factors, current technology, and how the interaction
between humans and such technologies may be accomplished in the most natural
and easy way. The field of application is quite extensive since the purpose is not
whattodobuthowtodesignittosuittheusers’needs.
This volume, which forms part of Springer’s Human-Computer Interaction
Series,presentsaselectionofresearcharticlesfocusedonnewtrendsininteraction,
especially some issues regarding virtual and augmented reality, modeling, and
evaluation. New Trends in Interaction, Virtual Reality and Modeling has been
written as the result of the collaboration and the work of a number of researchers
from many universities, research institutes, and companies. The selection of the
chaptershasbeenpossibleduetothejointconferencebetweentheHCIcommunities
of Spain and Mexico, celebrated in October 2012. The International Conference
Interaccio´n 2012 was held at the Miguel Hernandez University of Elche (Spain)
and the Mexican Conference MexIHC 2012 was held at the Instituto Tecnolo´gico
Auto´nomodeMe´xico(ITAM),Mexico,DF.
Interaccio´n2012wasthe13theditionoftheInternationalConferencepromoted
bytheSpanishAsociacio´nparalaInteraccio´nPersona-Ordenador(AIPO),whose
main objective was to promote and disseminate the recent advances in the field of
Human-Computer Interaction. It was organized by the research groups WEBDE-
CISIONandHCI&PRfromtheCenterofOperationsResearchUniversityInstitute
of the Miguel Hernandez University of Elche (UMH) and had the support of the
ISE Research Group from the Albacete Research Institute of Informatics (I3A) at
the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) and the Faculty of Computing and
InformationTechnologyatKingAbdulazizUniversity(KAU).
MexIHC 2012 was the fourth Conference on Human-Computer Interaction,
organizedbytheMexicanACMSIGCHIchapter(CHI-Me´xico)inabiennialformat
v
vi Preface
alternating with the Latin American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
(CLIHC). It was organized by research professors and researchers from the HCI
community in Mexico, members of Mexican institutions of higher education such
asInstitutoTecnolo´gicoAuto´nomodeMe´xico(ITAM);UniversidadAuto´nomade
BajaCalifornia(UABC);UniversidadAuto´nomaMetropolitanaUnidadCuajimalpa
(UAM-C); the Centro de Investigacio´n Cient´ıfica y de Educacio´n Superior de
Ensenada, Baja California (CICESE); and Universidad Tecnolo´gica de la Mixteca
(UTM).
Both conferences were celebrated jointly, keeping their own identities, to join
forcesandestablishpartnershipsbetweenthetwocommunities.
The book has been organized in a set of ten short chapters to cover different
applicationdomains,asfollows.
The first chapter, presents an agile method for exploiting desktop eye tracker
equipment in combination with mobile devices. Then, Chap. 2, describes SV
(Scheme Visualization) as an approach to explore large-scale collections based
on classification systems. Chapter 3, introduces a framework based on the use of
modeling and components composition techniques, which is intended to simplify
the development of organizational collaborative systems. Chapter 4, presents a
low-cost virtual reality system that provides highly satisfying virtual experiences.
Chapter5,introducesthemostpopularhardwareandsoftwaretoolsandtechnolo-
giestodevelopAugmentedReality(AR)andMixedReality(MR)applications,in
order to serve as a starting point to anyone interested in developing such systems.
Chapter 6, describes an implementation based on the Virtual Reality Peripheral
Network to handle connectivity between Virtual Reality (VR) applications and
SensAble®TechnologyPhantomHapticDevicesusingtheOpenHaptics3.0Haptic
Library Application Programmable Interface (HLAPI). Chapter 7, presents the
results of a research study implementing a teaching technological strategy to help
children with Down syndrome develop their reading skills. Chapter 8, introduces
several platform-independent models to overcome this problem by decreasing the
levelofcohesionbetweencommunicationtechnologiesandsoftwareforubiquitous
computing. Chapter 9, presents a method for applying gamification as a tool to
improve the participation and motivation of people in performing different tasks.
Finally,Chap.10,describesasuiteoffivestructuralprinciplesknownasBaLOReS,
