It is generally accepted that the tasks, the user has to fulfill with a system to be developed should play an important role in its design. Knowing the user’s tasks enables the designer to construct user interfaces reflecting the tasks’ properties, including efficient usage patterns, easy-to-use interaction sequences, and powerful assistance features.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"69 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":"126412413","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 emphasis will be on employing good visual design, strong realistic conceptual ideas and proven interaction styles. New application concepts have been emerging within the field of virtual environments that offer exciting application possibilities but suffer from a number of problems which, once known and understood, can be avoided. The course also includes a short workshop where the audience will participate in creating a storyboard for a virtual environment. be addressed including a discussion on user authoring and self generating content.* Ideas about how to improve navigation in virtual environments will be explored. A large part of the course will be addressing the impact af user representation or avatars in shared virtual environments, looking at avatar customization, symbolic behavior, accentuated gestures and the effects of “insignificant” expression on communication and engagement.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"11 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":"132067181","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}

Specifically, an experiment compared the standard point-and-click method to a mouse-over method, whereby the target was automatically selected atIer the cursor and target were superpositioned for 200 ms. Results indicated that the mouse-over method resulted in a significant reduction in target-acquisition time across a range of target widths. The implication of these findings to task optimization are then considered.","PeriodicalId":153619,"journal":{"name":"CHI 98 Conference Summary on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"44 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":"131054473","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}
