Mousing Around… Michael Feldman, MD, PhD feldmanm@mail.med.upenn.edu
Goal • Is there a better UI than mouse for WSI ?
Microscope • Retain ergonomics of microscope • Small motions that move mountains of data • Other hand is useful… • Focusing • Changing magnification • Fast • 400 slides per day in 10 hr day • Eyes on diagnosis field
Challenge • WSI systems today ≠ microscope • Limitations to full clinical use WSI • Total system throughput too slow • One component is UI • Validation image quality • Workflow challenges • IT integration • Storage • Streaming pixels
Multitouch screen… • DLP display • Interface - Frustrated Total Internal Reflection (FTIR) • Software • Aperio image library • Interface code (C++) • Tracking code (C++)
Multi-touch Technology • Users can directly interact with objects through touch and simple gestures. • Gestures can be used to pan and scale an image. • This creates a highly intuitive and interactive image environment.
Multi-touch Application Framework Tracking Component Interface Component Application Component (x1,y1) (x2,y2) (x3,y3) (X,Y) (L,W) (Zoom) Image Libraries
Testing • Create basic platform • Test (not rigorous) • Image quality • UI • How does it feel • Ergonomics • Simple Gestures: Pan, zoom, tap box, locate small, load work • Show movies
Results • Image quality – biggest limitation DLP • At 40-50 inches, DLP is too low resolution • UI – a lot to like • Using both your hands feels “correct” • Gestures easy to get used to • Sensitivity not there yet in our models • No haptic feedback • No variable ratio viewing yet
Next Steps • Other touch interfaces • One or two touch pads (conductive technology) • Gaming haptics • Display • Look into HD DLP but likely still not adequte • One or two large LCD’s • Software • More gestures will be needed • Variable ratio movement • More fluid touch sensitivity
