CS295J/Class 9

• need to deal more with readings from last time?
  • SUMI
  • embodied models as simulated users, 2001 Adam

    (mention crowd movement economist article?)

    cognitive architectures -- could the book I scanned TOC from provide one?

    some nice related work at low level (static analysis, GLEAN, Act-R)

    an embodied agent could be great for testing

    how should sketching fit into UI design? getting too detailed too fast can create problems

  • actability principles in theory and practice EJ

    seems structured around social, albeit business oriented, interactions

    initial piece with design rules

    principles seem overly something -- complex? detailed? abstract?

  • the role of cognitive theory in hci EJ

    review of some theories relevant to hci -- learning, individual differences -- for avoiding disorientation in UI's. Apple pie, a bit. Other good refs?

• review new readings
  • HCI course at UF (gideon)

    guidelines, principles, models/theories lecture cool (NCI list of 388 web page guidelines)

    reduce memory load across displays, get attention appropriately, facilitate data entry

    nice HW: find example of UI that conforms to each principle and one that doesn't

    user in control, closure

    Norman's stages of action, gulfs of {execution, evaluation}

    ends at "theories"

• • Applying cognitive psychology to user-interface design (ej -- design guidelines)
  • acting on a visual world: the role of perception in multimodal hci

    uh, users need to see?

  • Cognitive Load (adam)

• changes based on intros
  • critical enough?
  • are we getting rid of non-contributions
• review proposal reviews
• new preliminary results
• assignment
  • finish preliminary results section you have been working on (it will have been 30 hours!)
