Non-summaries from the first day of UIST.

• Turing Award Lecture: Computing Versus Human Thinking
  • Peter Naur
  • He’s going to offend us, but that’s necessary
  • Human thinking is absolutely nothing like computing
  • And that was… interesting
• Perspectives on Pointing & Clicking
  • The Design and Evaluation of Selection Techniques for 3D Volumetric Displays
    • Grossman and Balakrishnan
    • Depth ray better then smart ray; flower ray pretty but decontextualized
    • Death ray something else entirely
  • ModelCraft: Capturing Freehand Annotations and Edits on Physical 3D Models
    • Song et al.
    • The children of tomorrow won’t draw sketches of houses with crayons, they’ll draw 3D sketches of houses with digital pens
  • A Direct Texture Placement and Editing Interface
    • Gingold et al.
    • 3D texture mapping in 3D
    • That touch table again
    • Bona fide equations
  • CINCH: A Cooperatively Designed Marking Interface for 3D Pathway Selection
    • Akers
  • Soap: a pointing device that works in mid-air
    • Baudisch
• Information Landscapes
  • Comparing and Managing Multiple Versions of Slide Presentations
    • Drucker et al.
    • Look at the myriad ways we can detect uninteresting change cases between slide presentation versions!
    • Look at all the interface design we haven’t done to give the user a good visualization of the changes!
  • Viz: A Visual Analysis Suite for Explaining Local Search Behavior
    • Halim et al.
  • From Information Visualization to Direct Manipulation: Extending a Generic Visualization Framework for the Interactive Editing of Large Datasets
    • Baudel
    • The afternoon sun reflecting off the lake is making for a fantastic light show on the wall and ceiling behind the speaker
  • WindowScape: A Task Oriented Window Manager
    • Tashman
    • Zooming window manager
      • Like exposé but for geeks who don’t like their interface to be understandable to anyone except themselves
    • History-based task manager
      • Ad hoc creation of groups based on “photograph” (better: snapshot) metaphor
      • Windows are in multiple “groups,” which are just sets of expanded windows
• Sensing from Head to Toe
  • Using a Low-Cost Electroencephalograph for Task Classification in HCI Research
    • Lee and Tan
    • An EEG is like holding up a thermometer to the side of a PC case
    • But using the cheapest approved EEG on the market, we can still get inside your head
  • Sensing from the Basement: A Feasibility Study of Unobtrusive and Low-Cost Home Activity Recognition
    • Fogarty et al.
    • You — yes, you — are getting old
    • Minimal sensors to track water usage
    • Recognize patterns to classify events
  • Camera Phone Based Motion Sensing: Interaction Techniques, Applications, and Performance Study
    • Wang et al.
    • TinyMotion
    • Camera-only cellphone motion detection
    • Fitts’ Law applies
  • Mobile Interaction Using Paperweight Metaphor
    • Siio and Tsujita
    • More like “one-handed writing on a slippery table” metaphor
• Demos One Minute Madness
  • “We don’t have to be that precise, even though we are in Switzerland”
