For centuries, magic has served as a means to control, inspire and entertain people with feats that seem beyond the capabilities of the mere mortal. Even today, when our knowledge of science and technology has jaded many to such acts of prestidigitation, the art continues to have the ability to generate wonder, although it's often directed solely to figuring out how a trick is done. In this realm of illusion production, both ancient and modem magicians have perfected means of making the ordinary look extraordinary. The degree of their success can often be measured by the level of disappointment among spectators who learn how seemingly otherworldly feats can be accomplished with a fake thumb tip and a lot of showmanship.

The history and evolution of HCI in Brazil have been previously presented in major international HCI conferences such as INTERACT97 (Merkle at al.97) and CH199 (Prates et al.99). In spite of a relatively late start in the mid 90's, the Brazilian HCI Community is growing rapidly. In less than 3 years, two national HCI workshops have been held (see details below) gathering HCI researchers, practitioners, and students from different states in the country. This is the result of a combination of factors whose origins can be traced to the needs and trends in our local computer industry, to the pace of technological changes in Brazilian society, to an agile response of those involved in science, technology and education policies, to changes in the curricula of college and university programs, to the pressing challenges of a global economy and culture, and to many other factors we cannot competently survey here.

It is June 1999 winter in Australia. It is the end of the financial year, when companies and shops clean out stock at whatever price it will fetch. In bookshops throughout Australian cities tables are heavy with books of fiction and poetry, esoteric texts, colourful cooking and gardening books. Books galore. What happens to the leftovers at the end of the sale when new editions go on show, I wonder. How are all those volumes that did not find a home disposed of. With a sense of shame at our inability to manage and distribute resources effectively, more equitably, I think of Professor Tien. An academic from Hanoi, Professor Tien's efforts to keep alive his research program could have cost him his life. Indeed, it may have. I feel extremely uncomfortable at the sheer meaningless waste I witness here. There must be a better, more dignified way to deal with surplus materials.

The CHI Basic Research Symposium is a long-running special event that represents an opportunity for researchers and reflective practitioners from different disciplines and fields of practice to exchange ideas and insights from their own fields and thereby expand their vision of human-computer interaction. This two-day event is a cross between a miniconference and a workshop. Participants are selected by a program committee that reviews submitted position papers to bring together a diverse group of researchers with innovative research underway. The symposium itself includes interactive research presentations and group discussions around common themes.

The root cause of many user interface (UI) design deficiencies is not a lack of knowledge about human-computer interaction principles nor a lack of information on user needs. Rather, many UI deficiencies arise because the UI design process is ad hoc and the design is not communicated successfully to the programmers who will implement it. Many UI designers are seeking and discovering ways to plan, manage, and document UI design work more effectively. This workshop provided an opportunity for participants to share lessons learned and obtain advice from other participants.In the weeks leading up to the workshop, participants selected the specific topics that were of prime concern to them. As a result, we narrowed the focus of the workshop to the following topics:• Division of UI design activities into stages• Division of labor and interdisciplinary collaboration• Collaborating in geographically-dispersed projects• Writing the UI specification• Defining the maturity of the UI design process.The following sections summarize the results of the workshop activities for each of these topics.

An important and troublesome problem with current virtual environment (VE) technology is the tendency for some users to exhibit symptoms that parallel symptoms of classical motion sickness both during and after the VE experience. This type of sickness, cybersickness, is distinct from motion sickness in that the user is often stationary but has a compelling sense of self motion through moving visual imagery. Unfortunately, there are many factors that can cause cybersickness and there is no foolproof method for eliminating the problem. In this paper, I discuss a number of the primary factors that contribute to the cause of cybersickness, describe three conflicting cybersickness theories that have been postulated, and discuss some possible methods for reducing cybersickness in VEs.

October 19, 1998: Over 300 attendees converge on the Pittsburgh Sheraton Station Hotel for the annual, two day International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC98). Registration opens, and a sense of enthusiasm can be felt as researchers greet each other and introduce new members of the community. Academia, industry, commercial vendors, government representatives, and the military mix as the audience forms for the opening session. Since attendees are encouraged to wear their latest wearable computer designs, spontaneous demonstrations already dot the hall. In some cases, the wearable computer is so subtly woven into an attendee's garb that it takes a practiced eye to know to ask for a demonstration. Fortunately, the researchers and, in some cases, independent inventors are proud of the year's accomplishments and seek to elicit the questions, criticisms, and compliments from the community at large.

Paging through the conference digest shows the diversity of the wearables community, with paper presentations on augmented reality, power harvesting, design, recovering user context, wireless displays, and case studies, including one from a large commercial implementation. In order to properly review the submissions, the conference adopted the reviewing style of SIGGRAPH and UIST, calling on the skills of over 50 additional reviewers to supplement the nine person program committee. In addition to the paper sessions, ISWC98 consists of invited talks, poster presentations, paper sessions, an exhibition hall, and a panel session on privacy. As a "bonus" third day to the official two day track, Carnegie Mellon University offers special events and an insider's tour of their research laboratories, following a tradition started by last year's host, MIT.

The workshop on Internet-based Groupware for User Participation in Product Development (IGROUP) was held on November 14, 1998, in conjunction with the conferences CSCW 98 and PDC 98 in Seattle, WA, USA. The workshop gathered 16 participants from both academia and industry. The topic discussed was how we can use groupware technology to involve end-users in the development of software and non-software products.The context for product development has traditionally been separated from the users' work context (Grudin 1991). In a product development process the user group is often unknown. Products are often purchased off-the-shelf, and the developers can in most cases only guess which user community and what types of users will be using their products. The only source of user feedback in these situations is from laboratory experiments with "typical users," and in some occasions from product resellers. The result is often sub-optimal solutions.In the recent years this picture has changed drastically. Technical innovations, in particular the Internet, have made it possible to bring closer together product developers and end-users. In its beginning, the developers started using a "feedback button" as a menu choice in their programs. Pushing this button would let the user compose a "complaint" message and send it to the developer. Lately, more advanced methods have emerged, trying to construct mixed communities of end-users and developers, where one of the aims is to deliver products users really want.In this workshop, we took a look at how groupware is or could be used to facilitate collaboration between users and developers in order to increase the quality of the product. Ten position papers discussed different aspects of user involvement using groupware technology. In this report we will first give a summary of the position papers and then discuss the areas that we saw as important for further investigation.
