Currently RIA technologies are embodied in a testbed, called RealHunter™, a real-estate application that helps users find residential properties.

Here are several recorded demos that you can download and play with Microsoft Media Player version 9.0 or higher. To get the best effect, you may want to play it on a display with resolution 1280x1024 or higher. Turn on your speaker to hear speech input or output.

  • Overview demo (download AVI file here, 9.5 megabytes)
    This demo provides the overview of RIA technologies applied to a residential real estate application, which helps potential buyers to look for real estate properties.

  • Overview demo with speech input (download WMV file here, 2.5 megabytes)
    Our system can also run with a speech recognizer that allows a user to express his/her information requests using speech and gesture.

  • Adaptation demo (download WMV file here, 3.2 megabytes)
    To allow users and systems to adapt to each other's expressions over time, this demo shows how a system teaches the user to modify his/her request (e.g., using concrete constraint such as city population to define fuzzy expression like "small city") and how the system gradually learn the user expressions over time (e.g., understanding "good school districts").

  • Visual context management demo (download AVI file here, 21.8 megabytes)
    Since RIA and users engage in a continuous conversation, RIA must dynamically maintain the proper visual context to allow users to easily integrate all relevant information across interaction turns. This demo shows how RIA dynamically manages the visual display context in various situations (e.g., maintaining visual and semantic continuity).
