Saturday, 18 October 2008

Today started off taking it easy. Panchi and I went out for some coffee and talked about work, research, and some logic/algebra/number theory. Then I was reading the news and about multipoint /multitouch interfaces. I finished reading Jakob Nielsen's paper about next gen user interfaces . The dimensions that Nielsen predicts will characterize next generation interfaces (or, non-command interfaces, as he calls them), are:

User focus
Computers role
Interface control
Syntax
Object visibility
Interaction Stream
Bandwidth
Tracking feedback
Turn-taking
Interface locus
User programming
Software packaging
