The haptic sense uses both purposeful movement and sensory receptors. Previous haptic interface designs have focused entirely on producing stimuli for the sensory receptors of the human hand and arm, without taking into account the movements used in haptic perception. This research explores interaction techniques that explicitly support various movement styles used in haptic perception. The resulting interaction techniques should support more rapid and accurate virtual object identification and discrimination.","PeriodicalId":263696,"journal":{"name":"CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"12 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123691279","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}

Cover sheets are commonly strewn around printer rooms; with interactivity, they can let people see what others have to say, add their own comments, or play games, all while waiting for their print jobs. We designed three prototype applications and deployed them briefly in our research lab. We found that interactive cover sheets can be very appealing, that the sheets must be designed so that people can still identify these pages as cover sheets, and that the slow interaction cycle favors asynchronous applications.","PeriodicalId":263696,"journal":{"name":"CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124705093","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}

These dialogs will be dynamically assembled by the Reading Tutor and include text, speech, illustrations, and dialog parameters.

At the same time, our stereotypes of seniors have been challenged as we have come to understand the diversity that the category of \"senior\" so incompletely describes.
