Hello all, We continue our bi-weekly reading group this Friday, June 29th, at 2PM. We will be reading Paul Dourish and Scott Mainwaring's paper "Ubicomp's Colonial Impulse" Continuing with the theme of "big ideas", this should help us think critically about the social impact of the work we do developing cool technologies. PAPER: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2370238 I will "champion" the paper this week by reading the paper thoroughly and leading the discussion, highlighting why I think the work is important. Snacks + Drinks will be provided. This week we will meet in the *Seminar Room*, not at Crimson Teas. Best, Jacob

HCI Reading Group "Nielsen Heuristics" 2PM Friday June 15 @ Crimson Teas
by Jacob Ritchie 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Hello all, We continue our bi-weekly reading group this Friday, June 15st, at 2PM. We will be reading two papers by Jakob Nielsen: Heuristic evaluation of user interfaces (CHI 1990) and Enhancing the explanatory power of usability heuristics (CHI 1994). These classic papers show how Nielsen studied best practices in heuristic evaluation, and used these results to develop his influential list of usability heuristics (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ten-usability-heuristics/) which is now a standard tool in UX design and often applied in HCI research. (If you're worried, the second paper is quite short at 3.5 pages.) PAPER 1: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=97281 Heuristic evaluation of user interfaces<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=97281> dl.acm.org Heuristic evaluation is an informal method of usability analysis where a number of evaluators are presented with an interface design and asked to comment on it. PAPER 2: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=191729 [https://dl.acm.org/images/apdf.jpg]<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=191729> Enhancing the explanatory power of usability heuristics<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=191729> dl.acm.org Holcomb, R., and Tharp, A. L. An amalgamated model of software usability. In Knafl, G. (Ed.), Proceedings of the 13th IEEE COMPSAC international Conference, IEEE Computer Society, Washington, D.C., 1989. Holcomb, R., and Tharp, A. L. What users say about software usability. International Journal of ... Christine will "champion" the paper this week by (re-)reading the papers thoroughly and leading the discussion, highlighting why she thinks the work is important. The meeting will take place at Crimson Teas (415 Spadina Ave), which is a 5 min walk from Bahen. Daniel has generously offered to fund drinks and snacks for the meeting. Crimson Teas has delicious tea and the owner (Philip) is very nice, so consider your perishing physical thirst in addition to your thirst for knowledge. Best, Jacob --- Jacob Ritchie M.Sc. Student, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto

[nrg] HCI Meeting Tomorrow
by luzhc＠dgp.toronto.edu 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

Hello folks, This upcoming Tuesday (June 12th, 12-1PM, lunch at 11:45AM) I am going to conduct a brainstorming session to help generate ideas for my projects on live streaming in non-entertainment contexts. I will briefly give a presentation about the projects I have been working on (which will be a summary of my CHI talk and a brief introduction of one follow-up work), and then lead a brainstorming session about designing live streaming tools for non-entertainment contexts. Since time is limited, we will start at 12 sharp. In order to sprout more ideas and make the process more effective, please refer to the following link for my paper on live streaming in China at this CHI (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3174040) and skim through it if you have time. Thank you very much and looking forward to your inspiring ideas, Zhicong(Caleb) Lu

[Reminder] HCI Meeting Next Tuesday (June 5th)
by Seyong Ha 04 Jun '18

04 Jun '18

Hi all, Our next HCI Meeting is on Tuesday (June 5th) at BA5256 from 11:45 to 13:00. Nicole, Eris, and Fanny will have a Vis Sketch Workshop. Details are below. Thanks. ========================= Hello folks, This upcoming Tuesday (June 5, 12-1PM, lunch at 11:45AM) Eris, Fanny and I are going to conduct a structured brainstorming/focus group session to help generate ideas for our Borrow-from-image Vis styling project. We will provide two images, a dataset, and ask you to create data visualizations borrowing elements from these images. Given our limited timeframe, we will start at 12 sharp. In the interest of sprouting early ideas and making the exercise even more effective, below follow links to the images and the dataset we are going to use on Tuesday. Think about them when you are in the shower, during your commute, or before sleeping — often referred to as some of the most creative moments in a person’s day :-D Images <https://www.dropbox.com/s/nir315kthgmaybt/images.pdf?dl=0> Data <https://www.dropbox.com/s/wa5gusw9wfwjljq/data-star-wars.pdf?dl=0> Also, we plan on taking pictures on the day, and will ask you to put your name on the designs so we can follow up later. And no, we do not have ethics (yet)… so let us know if you have any issues with that. Looking forward to your creative solutions, Nicole ========================= ------------------------------------------ Dynamic Graphics Project Lab., Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Seyong Ha
