Being the new preferred entry points to the world of VIP, I think the HCIDataset, HCIFrame and HCIPostProcAlgo classes could be renamed to something shorter: that would be easier to type and easier to remember. I propose:
HCIDataset → Dataset ("HCI" seems redundant here, as HCI is the purpose of entire VIP)
HCIFrame → Frame
HCIPostProcAlgo → Postproc
and maybe
HCIPca → PostprocPCA etc.
