User-centered design (UCD) has become an important concept in human-computerinteraction (HCI) and other disciplines. While there is abundant UCD research, keyword analysis research has been less studied even though k...

Most senior citizens in the U.S. use the Internet on a regular basis yet frequently run into basic issues they cannot solve themselves. We conducted contextual inquiry with 6 participants and an online survey with 25 participants to determine the difficulties and frustrations these users face. From the research findings we designed Tipper, a browser-based system to provide contextual help for seniors on the Web. Usability testing shows Tipper to be a simple yet powerful solution to make seniors more competent and comfortable on the Web. This paper reports the current progress of Tipper and indicates our future direction.
Very recently, there has been a perfect storm of technical advances that has culminated in the emergence of a new interaction modality: on-body projected interfaces. Such systems enable the wearer to use their body as...

Typical interactiondesigners which are not climate scientists, but interactiondesigners can make well-informed use of climate sciences and closely related sciences are discussed. interactiondesign can make scientific information, interpretations, and perspectives available in an accessible and widely distributed form so that people's consciousness is raised. interactiondesign can help bridge the gap between scientific predictions and notions of certainty and uncertainty. The tipping point, by definition, is the point at which any efforts to stop something from happening arrive too late. The 2007 IPCC report predicts climate change will have massive implications for global food production and conditions of production, as well as for water, coastal habitations, health, and ecosystems. Such systems must make this information available at scale and in forms that are suitable to a number of different constituencies, individuals, policy makers, governments, and intergovernmental organizations.
In this paper, we describe a small-scale virtual reality system to support the creative manipulation of digital models (meshes) in 3D via two Phantom force-feedback devices. The system permits the artist to interact w...

This article reviews the ongoing evolution of context awareness technologies in mobile devices using personal media as an illustrative application domain. Augmented with metadata, files containing personal media can include significant information about the contexts they describe. The article discusses personal media applications from two different perspectives: (1) through an example that describes the use of context data in a personal media diary application, and (2) with a classification of context architectures that includes three classes of context-aware mobile systems (inbound, shared, and network assisted). These systems are classified on the basis of such factors as their architecture, data flow types, privacy, and interoperability requirements. The article concludes by discussing implications for research and practice.

The objectives of human Engineering (HE) are generally viewed as increasing human performance, reducing human error, enhancing personnel and equipment safety, and reducing training and related personnel costs. There are other benefits that are thoroughly consistent with the direction of the Navy of the future, chief among these is reduction of required numbers of personnel to operate and maintain Navy ships. The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) report on Man-Machine Technology in the Navy estimated that one of the benefits from increased application of man-machine technology to Navy ship design is personnel reduction as well as improving system availability, effectiveness, and safety The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of the human engineering design of ships and systems that affect manning requirements, and impact human-performance and safety The paper will also discuss how the application of human engineering leads to improved performance, and crew safety, and reduced workload, all of which influence manning levels. Finally, the paper presents a discussion of tools and case studies of good human engineering design practices which reduce manning.
