Unistrokes created through touch are used to issue commands and select menu items presented on a television screen. The design addresses the drawbacks of traditional RCDs, such as an over-abundance of buttons and the lack of alphanumeric input. We have assembled a prototype using a Windows9.5-based computer, an infrared card, and a touchpad. Future developments and research plans for the touchpadbased RCD are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116678019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Competitive testing: issues and methodology","authors":"K. Greenwood, Kelly Braun, S. Czarkowski","doi":"10.1145/286498.286834","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/286498.286834","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this Special Interest Group is to provide a forum for Usability professionals with an interest in performing Competitive Tests to discuss issues and exchange advice. There is very little information regarding appropriate methodology or guidelines for performing Competitive Tests published on this topic. This Special Interest Group will provide an opportunity for individuals whose work involves the performance or review of competitive tests to share tips and techniques and will serve as an avenue for those interested in competitive testing to gain insight on the differences between competitive and diagnostic usability tests. In addition, it will allow the members of CHI to discuss the option of adopting standardized methodologies and metrics for performing competitive usability tests. The organizers of this Special Interest Group are three Usability Professionals with experience planning and conducting Competitive Tests. The majority of the meeting will be devoted to an informal discussion of the Competitive Testing experiences of both the organizers and other meeting participants. Issues that we intend to discuss include: goals of competitive testing, how competitive testing differs from other forms of usability testing, legal and licensing issues, who performs the various tasks, and when to hire a consultant. Emphasis will be placed upon identifying useful techniques, potential problems and solutions to these problems. The final portion of the meeting will be reserved for a brainstorming session on a set of basic and commonly agreed upon techniques and standards for organizing, designing, and performing competitive tests and reporting test results. Guidelines for competitive usability testing are necessary to assist individuals who are unfamiliar with competitive testing requirements, and as a resource to ensure lack of bias when designing and running a Competitive Test. It is also hoped that the creation of this rough set of guidelines would encourage further discussion of the creation of a standardized Competitive Testing Methodology that members of CHI and other Human Factors Professionals could refer to. The guidelines produced by this brainstorming session will be distributed to SIG participants after CHI via E-mail or regular mail.

It is a world of non-stop messages and images. Countless decisions are made daily based on what we see and our perception and interpretation of these things. In addition, constant introduction of technology and tools are overwhelming, with seemingly unlimited choices of ways and media to present information, anywhere, anytime, anyhow. The problem is that no one has given us a greater ability to use and understand all this new information. The idea that more, better tools are the solution could not be further from the truth. In our rush to go faster, further, louder we have forgotten our goal. In our rush to use these enticing tools, we have forgotten that this is all about communication. We need to step back and evaluate this visual chaos. We must understand and re-learn what the basic principles are that create quality communications as well as understand the implications of our visual design choices. Our education has made us verbally literate; now we must educate ourselves to become visually literate.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122593886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The agents interact with each other according to their different personalities, which were derived from the comic. Our main concern has been to make an entertaining and believable application, and by keeping the algorithms non-complicated show that there can be easy solutions to the problem of designing believable agent applications. Experiences with users show that entertaining agents based on well-known characters bring many advantages, including a simplified design process and higher user involvement.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124655045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces ambient fixtures called Water Lamp and Pinwheels: a new approach to interfacing people with online digital information. The Water Lamp projects water ripple shadow created by a “rain of bits.” The Pinwheels spin in a “bit wind.” These ambient fixtures present information within an architectural space through subtle changes in light, sound, and movement, which can be processed in the background of awareness. We describe the design and implementation of the Water Lamp and the Pinwheels, and discuss their potential applications as well as design issues.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114758446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
