Fitts' law is a very successful model to explain human targeting behavior, while the Steering law has been used to model steering motions.

In this paper, we present a new, simpler, model that can be used to predict targeted steering motions.","PeriodicalId":201154,"journal":{"name":"CHI '06 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131013006","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}

In the last thirty years, HCI researchers and practitioners have expanded their interests from aspects of cognitive ergonomics concerned with individuals using desktop computers at work to include concern for social and communal aspects of technology use and for affective and aesthetic aspects of design. This has been accompanied by the appropriation of a variety of disciplinary practices, concepts, and methodologies by HCI. In terms of the development and coherence of the discipline, it is timely to take a critical look at the assumptions, values, and traditions of each of these positions, their implications for HCI research agendas, and to try to understand the historical, cultural, and political emergence of HCI as a discipline itself. The main aim of this workshop will be to develop a systematic research agenda for reflective HCI.","PeriodicalId":201154,"journal":{"name":"CHI '06 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130496885","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}

An aggregate pointer can make it easy for people to understand the overall direction of others' intentions or interests, and help achieve a group decision or build consensus. Moreover, aggregation can make distracting behavior or noise less disruptive. Aggregate pointers prevent such problems from disturbing collaborative work. We conducted experiments to show that people are not good at accurately locating the focus that is reflected by multiple telepointers, and that aggregate pointers help people share more accurate aggregation and complement individual telepointers.","PeriodicalId":201154,"journal":{"name":"CHI '06 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128790498","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}

In fact, we estimate that over 12 million people in American workplaces would say that they \"do programming\" at work, and almost 50 million people use spreadsheets or databases (and therefore may potentially program), compared to only 3 million professional programmers. The \"programming\" systems used by these end users include spreadsheet systems, web authoring tools, business process authoring tools such as Visual Basic, graphical languages for demonstrating the desired behavior of educational simulations, and even professional languages such as Java. The motivation for end-user programming is to have the computer be useful for each person's specific individual needs. While the empirical study of programming has been an HCI topic since the beginning the field, it is only recently that there has been a focus on the End-User Programmer as a separate class from novices who are assumed to be studying to be professional programmers. Another recent focus is on making end-user programming more reliable, using \"End-User Software Engineering.\" This paper gives a brief summary of some current and past research in the area of End-User Programming.","PeriodicalId":201154,"journal":{"name":"CHI '06 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":" 38","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120931881","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}
