    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Text entry; Command entry; Human-computer interaction; Input devices; Shorthand; Keyboard; Software keyboard; Pattern recognition; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : Mobile devices gain increasing computational power and storage capabilities, and there are already mobile phones that can show movies, act as digital music players and offer full-scale web browsing. The bottleneck for information flow is however limited by the inefficient communication channel between the user and the small device. READ MORE

  4. 2. Simple haptics : Sketching perspectives for the design of haptic interactions

    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; interaction design; haptics; haptic interactions; sketching; sketching in hardware; prototypes; prototyping; industrial design; human computer interaction; design research; research through desgin;

    Abstract : Historically, haptics—all different aspects of the sense of touch and its study—has developed around very technical and scientific inquiries. Despite considerable haptic research advances and the obviousness of haptics in everyday life, this modality remains mostly foreign and unfamiliar to designers. READ MORE

  5. 3. From Conceptual Links to Causal Relations — Physical-Virtual Artefacts in Mixed-Reality Space

    Author : Thomas Pederson; Lars-Erik Janlert; William Buxton; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis presents a set of concepts and a general design approach for designing Mixed Reality environments based on the idea that the physical (real) world and the virtual (digital) world are equally important and share many properties. Focus is on the design of a technology infrastructure intended to relieve people from some of the extra efforts currently needed when performing activities that make heavy use of both worlds.
