Visions of Human-Computer Interaction
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.

Non-Standard Reading Format
Each student has two responsibilities:
Organize into groups to briefly present one of the above vision papers. Sign up for a paper here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p0jUK0ONrz8OuhXGqjHzEg-cte4vCDH4pxCIKSu9rek/edit?usp=sharing
It is critical to remember most people 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 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?
Available time for each paper is extremely limited. You will not be able to fully present these papers, but aim to give your classmates insight into what they might find if they were to read the paper. Rehearse your presentation to ensure you stay within the agreed time.
Prepare your presentation as 2 to 3 slides in a shared Google Slides document:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1q8U1QfW_n5XaKPjEyquUElOgNUD-RSyGVTWZgLT5YeE/edit?usp=sharing
Be sure to consider Guidance on Making Your Presentation Accessible.
Individually read at least one more of the above vision papers.
Because "As We May Think" was presented as part of the previous lecture, you may not present it. You may still choose to read it.
No reading report is assigned. Reading a second paper benefits in-class discussion, helping you see these visions and explore them appropriately. Because some of these papers are quite long, you can and should skim according to your needs.

Contributions in Human-Computer Interaction
Read the framing paper:
Jacob O. Wobbrock, Julie A. Kientz. Research Contributions in Human-Computer Interaction. Interactions, 2016.
Below are examples of CHI 2021 papers that correspond to Wobbrock’s types of research contribution in HCI.
Select two additional readings to review, focusing on papers that are most likely to correspond to the contribution style(s) relevant in your potential project(s). You should not focus on the details of these papers, but rather their organization of the research and how it is presented. We include these to provide concrete examples of the contributions, but our in-class discussion will focus on the framing paper.
