2. About the class PhD level Review of current cool technology in user interface Technology oriented but (hopefully) accessible for non-CS students Readings, lecture, and discussion Project oriented Final exam, but no midterm

3. Things for you to do today Fill out the questionnaire and return by end of lecture Send me an email from your preferred address

4. Administrative Contact info scott.hudson@cs.cmu.edu http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~hudson/teaching/05-833 Office hours (my office is NSH 3523) Mon 2:30-3:25 (but email first) No textbook Readings (mostly from the web) Will ask you to buy some hardware BasicStamp II (approx cost $50) Last 1/3 of class (details later)

5. Lecture and reading topics (tentative) Quick introduction to UI Architecture Animation in the interface Kinetic typography Awareness systems Sketch-based interfaces Beating Fitts’ law Ambient display and interaction Tangible interfaces

6. Lecture and reading topics (tentative) Toolglass and Magic Lens interaction Hardware devices for interaction Hardware building skills component Context-aware computing Audio interaction (Other topics time permitting)

7. Projects 3 challenging projects, one with a paper Projects will attempt to break new research ground I have ideas for this You can propose things Goal (but not requirement) is to do work that can be published Interdisciplinary teams where appropriate I can contribute (and co-author) where appropriate UIST deadline is 5 April

8. Project One Topics Use of dynamics in the interface Awareness Example projects Design sketches for small screen web browser using kinetic typography Design sketches for attention direction technique library Kinetic typography “engine” in Java “Shadow view” privacy preserving video implementation

9. Project Two Topics First project topics Also Continuation of 1 st project, or implementation of design(s) from the 1 st project Beating Fitts’ law Sketching for UI specification Ambient Interaction

10. Project Two Example projects Kinetic typography web browser or attention library implementation Depth camera privacy User interface specification in PhotoShop Movement prediction techniques Low engagement interaction technique design sketches Email glance design sketches Paper describing results

11. Project Three Topics Hardware devices for ambient or tangible interface Hardware toolkits Example projects Build a gadget or display Hardware toolkit component
