…and we’re off, HCI History, Attractive Things & CHI 2009 Ideas
Apr 16th, 2009 by Mike Bennett
User Designer is back…yep, I went very quiet for a few months – but it was for great reasons 1) I became a dad (loving it), and 2) I was writing up my HCI PhD. Fortunately I’m getting to continue focusing on HCI / Interaction Design research, as I’ve just started as a postdoctoral researcher in the CLARITY Centre in University College Dublin, Ireland.
Some day soon I’ll do a proper writeup about the PhD, but in short I was looking at the effect individual differences in low-level vision have on the user experience of HCI designs – a fun fusion of interface / information visualisation design, vision science / optometry, eye physiology and probabilistic modeling.
Anyways lets get started again with a Link Bucket, enjoy!
Did you know that Attractive Things Work Better, written by HCI guru Don Norman.
John M. Carroll, one of the fathers of HCI, writes about the History of HCI (thanks Mads Soegaard @ Interaction-Design.org).
CHI 2009, one of the main HCI conferences has just finished, read about a few neat ideas in The Stranger Side of CHI 2009.
