  1. One Minute Papers

Main Points

            Good ideas/designs often do not make it in the marketplace

            If you build it they won’t necessarily come

            (if MS owned the ideas, would they make it?)

            If you are an expert analyst, SAS better than table lens…who are the users?

            Screen real estate a basic constraint

            The videos really help understanding of dynamic interfaces

 

Questions

            What is the killer app that will be used?

            Will screen real estate constraints continue to limit design? (or bigger and smaller?)

            Should we design for LCD users & platforms (and what level is right)?

 

3. Paper discussions:

            Marchionini & Komlodi

              Technology/IR/HCI co-dependencies

              Toward ubiquitous access

 

              Winograd

                3 trajectories

                        computation to communication

                        machinery to habitat  (levels of abstraction)

                        aliens to agents (from AI to symbiosis)

               interaction design (info architecture)

 

            Weiser & Brown

                        Ubiquity: Many to many computing (peer to peer & Napster)

                        Calmness (vs overload, high performance)

                        The periphery (sensory processing, fisheye views)

4. Integrating search and results

 

5. GRB discussion
