Sensemaking work is often handed off between people. Yet handoff can cause problems, somewhat similar to an interruption. This dissertation examines the issues related to sensemaking handoff by integrating existing theories and drawing predictions about the effects of premature handoff. These predictions and the related design recommendations for systems will be verified using short-term ethnography, interviews, laboratory observations and experiments.

In this paper, we investigate whether the gender differences generally found in same and opposite sex social touch are also present in mediated situations. Participants were led to believe that a male or female stranger was remotely touching them by means of a vest equipped with vibrotactile actuators. Affective responses varied with the stimulated body location, but the effect of dyad composition was not significant. In sum, we found partial support for the assumption that mediated social touch is actually perceived of as a real touch. Possible improvements to haptic communication devices are discussed.

The focus of the project is to design for mobile needs of users to support activities that closely relate to non-mobile contexts. We selected the real estate industry for a case study and conducted an in-depth research to gain a deeper understanding of the office (non-mobile) and mobile work environments of realtors and the social context of interaction with their clients. We identified some unique challenges that such a mixed work environment proposes. Recording contextual data in the mobile environment and streamlining it with huge amount of other related unorganized information in the non-mobile environment was identified as the main challenge. We designed an integrated system of a web-based application "REMAP" (for information analysis) and a mobile device "NotePod" (for information capture). The paper talks about some of the main research and findings, the design concept proposed, and finally some lessons learnt that we could extend to similar mixed contexts.

One of the aspects that are important for judging an application is the time an experienced user needs to complete a task. This can be assessed by a Keystroke-Level Model (KLM) of that task. In this paper we show a method that allows designers to prototype hardware applications entirely in software and still be able to draw conclusions about the time to completion of given tasks on the envisioned hardware implementation. We provide versatile, easily extensible tools and examples that give developers quick access to KLM data for their prototypes and applications.

Online health communities provide a means for patients and their families to learn about an illness, seek and offer support, and connect with others in similar circumstances. Online health communities raise difficult design challenges because of the wide variability of members. medical expertise, health literacy, and technology literacy, and the potential severity of problems due to misinformation. The importance of online health communities is evidenced by their popularity, as well as the significant impact they have on the lives of their members. This Special Interest Group (SIG) will explore current trends in online health communities and how the design and evaluation expertise of the CHI community can benefit and improve online health community research and development.

We describe content-aware layout (CAL), a technique that automatically arranges windows on a user.s desktop. Unlike conventional window managers that automatically cascade or tile each window without regard to its content, CAL uses information about the contents of windows to help decide if and where they should be placed. We present the approach to designing CAL, as well as its implementation. We then conclude with a discussion about future work and CAL.s potential use in large display environments.

I/O Brush is our ongoing effort to empower people to create new expressions and meanings by painting with attributes of everyday objects and movements in their physical world. Using examples from our case studies with kindergarteners and artists, we discuss I/O Brush's most distinguishing features, its dynamic ink and history functions, and how they enable people to invent new expressions and meaning making with objects in their physical environment.

In current theories of web navigation, link evaluation has been treated primarily as a bottom-up process involving assessing the semantic distance between a search goal and a given link in the information source. In this paper we investigate whether link evaluation could be subject to top-down influence from knowledge of the information source. We measured fixation durations that occurred during link evaluation and found shorter durations in the search for easy goals. This preliminary finding suggests that for goals with category names readily retrievable from knowledge of the information source, search is likely aided by top-down influences.
