Hi everyone,

We will have an HCI group meeting today at 12:30pm. Candice Lin is going to brainstorm her group's project idea for HCI class and gain valuable feedback from the group. Candice Lin joined DGP lab last semester and pursues her masters degree at the moment. Lunch will be provided as usual. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

The abstract of her presentation is as the following:

An increasing number of smartphones have been equipped with larger memory and faster processor, and thus the smartphone users are able to multitask with different apps in their daily life. Due to the limited real estate of screen sizes on most mobile devices, the user need to explicitly switch between the apps, instead of arranging all of them on the single display. As a result, there is a need for a convenient and efficient application switching method. In this project, we are planning to design a novel application switching method, and compare its performance with existing application switching methods in the Android and iOS system.

Best,

Mingming
