1965: Doug Engelbart creates first mouse
1973: Work begins on Xerox Alto
1978: Xerox Star goes to “market”
1984: Apple Macintosh launched
1995: Win95 launched
1969: Engelbart ‘s “mother of all demos”
From concept to mass market: 20-30 years

HCI Technology Drivers
• Computing: Cheaper, smaller, faster• Networking: Ubiquitous and faster• Displays: Cheaper and bigger• Displays: Cheaper and smaller• Sensing: Cheaper and smaller• Sensing: Ubiquitous
• Large multitouch screen interaction• Bimanual direct manipulation• Multiple simultaneous users

30-100M Pixels; used for scientific visualization
• Encourage multi-user interaction
• Integrate with new environments
• Raise new issues– Multi-user coordination– Rotation-independence– Private/public data
sharing

Large Displays: Applications
Group Sharing
Tight Collaboration
Peripheral Information
PersonalWorkspaces
Large Displays: Usability Issues
• Control from a distance• Losing track of the cursor • Window management• Task management• Configuration problems• Leverage the periphery• Multi-user coordination
• Drag and Pop– Extending familiar
interactions to a new platform
– General problem with large displays: how do you work with things that are far apart?
[Baudisch03]
Large Display Input: Cameraphones
• Most people already have an interactive device with them• Use built-in capabilities of “personal interactors” to control
public devices• Selection and control at a distance
[Ballagas05]
Large Display Interaction: Sensing distance
• Use precise location sensing to determine user’s proximity
• Different functionality based on distance
[Vogel04]
Tabletop Interaction: Rotation and Personal Space
• There is no longer a “privileged” vantage point
• Need to distinguish users’ content, especially when sharing

Small Device Usability Issues
• Information density• Selection target size• Text entry• Gesture set size• Gesture set learnability• Integration with larger devices• Multimodal interaction
[Want92]
• First (of many) location-aware tour guides
• Client detects position through GPS or IR
[Abowd97]
• Now in stores!• Location-awareness has
entered the mainstream

• Monitor loved-one’s activity
• Broadcast awareness to support network
• Support for aging in place
[Consolvo04]
[Fogarty07]
Context-aware computing: HCI research issues
• Information sharing and privacy• Configuring and monitoring implicit interactions• Intelligibility of system inference• Integration of personal, public, and infrastructure
devices• Training and personalization
• Bigger– Walls, Tables
• Smaller– Mobile, wearables
• Multiple Devices– Multi-display
environments, tangible computing
• Context-aware computing– Worn, carried, or
embedded sensing used as an interaction input
