Visions of Human-Computer Interaction

[Expand Archived Content]

These “vision” papers challenge a dominant pattern, propose going beyond mimicking prior technologies, or cast a vision of future technologies. This is not an exhaustive set of such papers, just a set chosen to be interesting and appropriate.

Students will organize into groups, briefly presenting one of these.

Everyone person will also individually read at least one more of these.

Note that some of these articles are quite long. We are assigning them so that you can see these visions and explore them appropriately. You can and should skim according to your needs in consuming these articles.

Sign up to present one article in groups of 2 to 3:

In presenting this, it is critical to remember most of us will not have read the paper you are presenting. It is therefore your responsibility to explain the vision. One useful way of breaking down and explaining the vision might be to discuss these four points:

  • What was the status quo at the time the authors wrote this?
  • What was the author’s vision of future technologies?
  • How has this vision played out since this publication?
  • How might this vision continue to play out in the future?

You may have already read the following paper, which was an earlier draft. That is fine:

Below are examples of papers from CHI 2015 that correspond to Wobbrock’s types of research contribution in HCI.

Select two to review, focusing on papers that are most likely to correspond to the contribution style(s) relevant in your project. You should not focus on the details of these papers, but rather their organization of the research and how it is presented. We surface them to provide concrete examples of the contributions, but our in-class discussion will focus on Wobbrock’s paper.
