Problems and challenges met or not met

Things you would do next (given time, resources, etc.)

1. One Minute Papers

Main Points

ZUIs raise the dexterity bar for users

Increased dexterity (e.g., forcing oneself to be ambidextrous) enhances intelligence???

Lazy loading in Pad++

Table browser vs html tables

The shape of a text may be useful in search results (is there research on this?)

Zooming seems disorienting

Questions

Where is speech recognition in marketplace?

Why not more interest in ZUIs and 3D?

When do big players (e.g., MS) adopt new mechanisms?

What is morphing?

Can we develop intermediate/subordinate search services (e.g., DNS like lookups)?

What visual cues are needed to avoid disorientation in zoomable spaces?

How does zooming work with text?

What is informational physics?

2. discuss results sketches (cont)

3. Speech Interfaces—a panacea?

Special cases (hands busy, highly specific tasks,)

Multi-modal environments (voice one of many inputs or outputs)

Limitations (noisy, slow, linear, too human)

4. Where is HCI heading?

Information architecture

Experience design

Interaction with information

5. One-minute paper

What was the big point you learned in class today?

What is the main, unanswered question you leave class with today?
