Current software suites suffer from problems due to poor integration of their individual tools. They require the designer to think of all possible integrating behaviours and leave little flexibility to the user. CyberDesk is a component software framework that automatically integrates desktop and network services, reducing integrating decisions to be made by the tool designers and giving more control to the user. Simple extensions to CyberDesk have been made to obtain powerful integrating behaviours.
The concepts of a userinterface management system (ULMS) and userinterface designer have become well known in the userinterface and graphics community. Most UIMSs developed so far have concentrated on the efficienc...

We present iTutor, a generative tutorial system for promoting smartphone use proficiency among elders. iTutor is unique because it can dynamically generate tutorials based on current operation goals and UI context, which we achieved through leveraging prompt engineering to large language models (LLMs). Our evaluations showed potential for this approach, as we yielded 78.6% accuracy in the instruction generation process. We conclude by providing the roadmap for further development.

We explore the use of abstracted screenshots as part of a new help interface. Graphstract, an implementation of a graphical help system, extends the ideas Of textually oriented Minimal Manuals to the use of screenshots, allowing Multiple small graphical elements to be shown in a limited space. This allows a user to get an overview of a complex sequential task as a whole. The ideas have been developed by three iterations of prototyping and evaluation. A user Study shows that Graphstract helps users perform tasks faster on some but not all tasks. Due to their graphical nature, it is possible to construct Graphstracts automatically from pre-recorded interactions, A second study shows that automated capture and replay is a low-cost method for authoring Graphstracts, and the resultant help is as understandable as manually constructed help.

This paper describes a new userinterface, called a fingerprint userinterface (FUI), which employs fingerprint recognition. While the unique feature patterns of fingerprints have mainly been used for personal identification, the FUI is unique in that it uses not only the differences among fingerprint patterns of different persons, but also the differences among the ten fingers of a single person. In the FUI, the system identifies the finger that has operated (touched) an input device through pattern matching of fingerprints and it performs the task assigned to the identified finger. Since users are able to specify different tasks by using different fingers, they feel as if commands and data objects were actually held on their fingers.

While it may initially seem counterintuitive to view degradation within an operating system as advantageous, one could argue that, when intentionally designed, the controlled breakdown of materials-whether physical, chemical, or biological-can be leveraged for specific functions. To apply this principle to the development of functional morphing devices, we have introduced the concept of "Degrade to Function" (DtF) [16]. This concept is aimed at creating eco-friendly and self-contained morphing devices that operate through a series of environmentally-triggered degradations. In this demonstration, we elucidate the DtF design strategy and present five application examples across a range of ecosystems.

We present Waken, an application-independent system that recognizes UI components and activities from screen captured videos, without any prior knowledge of that application. Waken can identify the cursors, icons, menus, and tooltips that an application contains, and when those items are used. Waken uses frame differencing to identify occurrences of behaviors that are common across graphical userinterfaces. Candidate templates are built, and then other occurrences of those templates are identified using a multi-phase algorithm. An evaluation demonstrates that the system can successfully reconstruct many aspects of a UI without any prior application-dependant knowledge. To showcase the design opportunities that are introduced by having this additional meta-data, we present the Waken Video Player, which allows users to directly interact with UI components that are displayed in the video.

We consider the problem of privacy in a 3D multi-user collaborative environment. We assume that information objects are represented by visual icons, and can either be public or private, and that users need effective methods for viewing and manipulating that state. We suggest two methods, which we call vampire mirrors and privacy lamps, that are unobtrusive, simple, and natural.
