It is virtually impossible for a human to record all aspects of such a rich interactive experience. Computational support can also automate the relationships between various streams of information, so that one stream of information, such as notes taken during a meeting, can be used to index into another stream, such as the audio track from the same meeting. In this way, an integrated, multimedia record of an experience can aid in the recall of the meaning or significance of past events.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"13 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":"127694685","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}

Instead of publishing a large number of discrete spreadsheets and graphs, each of which would show a particular subset of information, we designed an interactive display with which users can construct a wide variety of views into the information space. A structured information tool enables users to construct meaningful views and shift between them without losing context. Our approach is to constrain the choices to a set of interrelated views derived from careful analysis of the information. By carefully designing a hierarchy of information and by displaying continuous transitions between views we intend to provide users with a simple yet very effective way of finding and understanding complex data of problem. Small pieces of code can be downloaded along with a set of data that the code can manipulate and display. We can use a simple interaction model to provide the user with a great deal of power and flexibility. It is our belief that if users are involved in the construction of the information display, they will be able to access and understand the data in a more effective way.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"305 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":"132096430","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}

A promising feature of PUIs that has not yet been fully exploited is gestures: marks that activate commands rather than enter data. Users of existing PUIs are burdened with unreliable gesture recognition and have difficulty learning and remembering gestures. These problems are compounded by the inappropriate application of graphical user interface interaction techniques to PUIs. We are developing a tool to aid PUI designers in creating and evaluating gesture sets that are easier for computers to recognize and easier for humans to learn and remember. This work will also develop and evaluate new interaction techniques that take advantage of the unique characteristics of PUIS.","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":"131286749","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}
