Making an interface less direct changes how the user learns about the particular domain they are acting upon. Different interfaces cause the user to interact in different ways. This affects how they build up information about the domain they are working in. The counterintuitive finding is that less easy to use interfaces can be beneficial to the domain learning process. Less direct interfaces cause the user to build a more verbalisable and transferable body of knowledge about the domain. The research outlined here is examining this learning process to draw conclusions about where the effect can be most usefully employed.

Customers today demand to receive a quality, usable product. Companies are finding that their products will not sell unless they have the reputation for being usable. One way that companies can ensure usable products is through usability evaluations, user involvement, and testing. A direct result of the need for user-centered design and testing is the challenge of establishing and evolving usability methodology as an integral part of the development process within the corporate environment.

Head movement data were collected from 128 subjects during an experimental study using four ditYerent videoconferencing set-ups (factorial design of monoscopic / stereoscopic set-ups with / without motion parallax). The data include various parameters and are relevant inter alia for terminal and display designers.

Traditional research in information retrieval concentrates on retrieving documents. This paper introduces the idea that valuable information exists within a document col- lection as thematic patterns that can be found without looking at individual documents in the collection. This information is valuable in its own right and as an aid to the IR process, and is often not contained in any of the collection’s documents. This paper introduces a pattern discovery support system, Homer, which aids users' search for patterns and some compelling anecdotal evi- dence.

Touchsemen technology is well-suited for extreme environments, for example, rniemgravity. However, the usability of touchscreens has not been tested in this environment. The Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory (HFEL) at the NASA Johnson Space Center has conducted three evaluations of touchscreen usability both in a simulated weightless environment and on a space shuttle mission. Preliminary findings suggest that touchscmens were preferred for those tasks with larger touch areas, but not for precise positioning. Not anticipated though was the hand fatigue ex~enced by astronauts. Complete results will be available,

Panelists in this session will defend a variety of distinct visions for integrating “real-world” and computational media. Our aim is to explore the ways in which computers, and computer interfaces, can lend themselves to new and enriched interactions with objects and to new paradigms of handicrafts—with particular emphasis on the role of crafts and real-world objects in education.

The Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM) is a non-profit R&D institute in computer science. The HCI group performs both consulting and precompetitive research. Our approach emphasizes multidisciplinary teams, participation of our own software engineering experts on projects, and sensitivity to our clients’ business goals and culture. Research focuses on methodologies for designing and evaluating interfaces.
