The basic rationale of my Ph.D. thesis is to enhance and simplify interaction with an interactive 3D graphical system. To relieve users from technical detail and allow them to communicate with the system in an intuitive and human-like manner, I am investigating three main aspects: adaptation to user preferences, multimodal input, and open and underspecified input. I use agent-based techniques to approach my solutions.

How much time the user spends working on a task versus fiddling with the tool is an important aspect of usability. The concept of the ratio and distribution of tool-only operations to total operations is proposed to capture this aspect.

Hillsboro, The object of this panel is to identify criteria for effective groupware, That is, criteria that can be applied either to guide design or to help a purchaser select from alternative groupware applications. The criteria are expected to be generally applicable and so we take a broad definition of groupware. Panelists have been chosen with expertise in low bandwidth groupware such as email and PDAs as well as higher profile multi-media applications.

The present study assesses user perceptions of current voice mail systems and identifies desirable traits that should be incorporated in future agent-based products. Both novices and experts ascribed similar personality traits to voice mail user interfaces: practical, intelligent, courteous, efficient, straight-forward, sophisticated, methodical, progressive and alert. Surprisingly, significant y more experts desired a more imaginative personality than novices. Moreover, 20% of the expxts did not associate imaginative with voice mail systems tested. The results suggest that future voice mail user interface for experts should project an imaginative quality.

Informal communication and awareness of coworkers is an important factor in the effectiveness of work in office environments. This dissertation focuses on an architecture for the creation of prototype tools which allow distributed workgroups to collaborate more effectively by communicating informally. This architecture supports the investigation of the area of informal communication and awareness by allowing researchers to quickly develop new application prototypes from reusable components.

This paper briefly reports how task models may be exploited in software development beyond early analysis and specifically within application implementation. We describe three ways in which task models have been used directly to support application implementation and briefly touch upon how such use impacts upon the usability of the resulting application.

Visage is a prototype user interface environment for exploring and analyzing information. It represents an approach to coordinating visualizations and analytical tools in data-intensive domains. Visage is based on an information-centric approach to user interface design, which strives to eliminate impediments to direct user access to information objects across applications and visualizations. Visage consists of a set of data manipulation operations, an intelligent system for generating a wide variety of data visualizations and a briefing tool that supports the conversion of visual displays used during exploration into interactive presentation slides.

In long-term interaction (over minutes, hours, or days) the tight cycle of action and feedback is broken. People have to remember that they have to do things, that other people should do things and why things happen when they do. This paper describes some results of a study into long-term processes associated with the running of the HCI'95 conference. The focus is on the events which trigger the occurrence of activities. However, during the study we also discovered a recurrent pattern of activities and triggers we have called the 4Rs.

Many researchers have proposed degradation of peripheral visual detail as a technique that can both improve frame rates in virtual environments systems, and minimize perceptual impact. A user study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique when used with headmounted displays. Primary dependent measures were search time on correctly performed trials and percentage of all trials performed incorrectly. Results showed that a substantial amount of peripheral detail can be eliminated before user performance is impacted, The performance impact of peripheral detail degradation will vary greatly with task difficulty, although it should be useful even in the most taxing environments.
