HCI Seminar 357

Day 10  Notes

10/29/03

 

One minute summaries

Main Point

Security plays a large role in interfaces

shift in HCI research towards more directly coupling human physiology with computer interfaces and away from indirect manipulation (keyboard, mouse, etc.).

the human mind can be used to control mechanical devices outside the body.

incorporate biomatrix data for usability studies

The "interface" is a multilayered construct rather than a single

entity/problem.

Combining biometrics and UIs

Eye-tracking alone is not enough, need it as one source of data

 

Question

How wired can we become?  In 10 years, will be all have implants with

our medical information?

What can actually be done to prevent "information leakage" from a person online without requiring that a computer understand what user actions are intentional and what actions are unintentional?

What about devices inside the body?

how do you measure the total information one carries? Is it measurable (e.g., leakage)? Is this

information varied in a population?

have biometric studies contributed any key insights to our

understanding of human info behavior/HCI beyond what we can determine using

more traditional techniques?

Is this the best time for biometrics?

Difference between eye gaze on object nd thinking about the object

Privacy?

Do people’s eye patterns develop over time for on screen viewing?

How often does the dazzle of biometric data mask data massaging?
