HCI - Marking Menus

Marking menus naturally facillitate the transition from novice to expert performance for command invocation, and have been quite influential over the years to research into menu techniques.

Kurtenbach, G. and Buxton, W. 1993. The limits of expert performance using hierarchic marking menus. In Proceedings of the INTERACT '93 and CHI '93 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, April 24 - 29, 1993). CHI '93. ACM, New York, NY, 482-487.

HCI- Chunking and Phrasing

Buxton, W. (1986). Chunking and Phrasing and the Design of Human-Computer Dialogues, Proceedings of the IFIP World Computer Congress, Dublin, Ireland, 475-480.

HCI- Polson's CE+ Model

This is a cognitive model of how users find and learn commands in an unfamiliar user interface. This could potentially be adapted to be a piece of a theory of visualization.

Polson, P. and Lewis, C. Theory-Based Design for Easily Learned Interfaces. Human-Computer Interaction, 5, 2 (June 1990), 191-220.

HCI- Manual and gaze input cascaded

This is an exciting system which combines gaze input (coarse-grained) and mouse input (fine-grained) to quickly target items. This is important because it "kind of" gets around Fitt's law by using gaze input to "warp" the cursor to the general vicinity of what the user wants to work on.

DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/302979.303053

HCI- Attention

Presents task models of user attention.

Adamczyk, P. D. and Bailey, B. P. 2004. If not now, when?: the effects of interruption at different moments within task execution. In Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (Vienna, Austria, April 24 - 29, 2004). CHI '04. ACM, New York, NY, 271-278. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/985692.985727

HCI- Mult-tasking

Empirical study of how information workers spend their time. Puts forward a theory of how users organize small individual tasks into "working spheres."

González, V. M. and Mark, G. 2004. "Constant, constant, multi-tasking craziness": managing multiple working spheres. In Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (Vienna, Austria, April 24 - 29, 2004). CHI '04. ACM, New York, NY, 113-120. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/985692.985707
