The document discusses the history and evolution of various user interfaces from early pointing devices like mice to modern natural user interfaces using gestures and touch. It covers graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which assigned values to icons and introduced windows. More recent interfaces discussed include tangible user interfaces which interact with digital information through physical objects, augmented reality apps, and wearable gestural interfaces.
Various User Interfaces
- 2. History1952 – First Light pen (Whirlwind, MIT)1963 – Ivan Sutherland: Sketchpad Sketchpad Demo1963 - Douglas Engelbart receives a patent on the mouse pointing device for computers1968 – Engelbart demonstrates his system of keyboard, keypad, mouse, and windows Engelbart Mouse Demo1974 – Overlapping windows: Smalltalk1975 – David Canfield Smith: Icons
- 3. GUI1984 – Apple Macintosh: First totally Graphical User Interface
- 4. The MetaphorAssigning values to icons“Users may also struggle to see past the metaphor itself in order to use the system in the way it was intended.” Suzanne Prior, University of Dundee
- 5. GUIDon't Click – “clickless” user interfaceTone Matrix – digital representation of a tangible object
- 6. Natural User InterfacesCLI > GUI > NUINatural movements, motions and gesturesManipulate or control on-screen contentDirect feedbackIntuitiveMultiple object manipulationMultiple user interactionNo tool switching
- 7. Natural User InterfacesHow do we actually perform tasks?Bill BuxtonMemTable – NUI in practiceKinectKinect FAILAnother Kinect FAIL
- 8. Tangible User InterfaceA user interface in which a person interacts with digital information through the physical environment
- 10. Tangible User InterfacesNintendo Wii and the Theory of Optimal Experience or Theory of Flow“Enjoyment occurs only as a result of an unusual amount of attention”“Immersive flow experiences emerge when an ideal balance between level of ability and challenge is achieved” – Wyeth, P., Queensland University of Technology

- 15. Tangible User InterfacesTable Top InterfacesDirectly encourage concepts such as social interaction and collaboration or ludic interactionLudic derives from Latin ludus, “play” and means literally ‘playful’, and refers to any philosophy where play is the prime purpose of life and connotes anything that is “fun”. Play can be used to describe a wide variety of experiences but in essence can be defined best as “free movement within a more rigid structure”.Circular Tables eliminate head positions, leading voices, privileged points of view or controlReacTable
