Investigating the Cursor Movement Parameters for Haptic Assistance of Motion-impaired Users (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Langdon, P., Hwang, F., Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001, April). Investigating the Cursor Movement Parameters for Haptic Assistance of Motion-impaired Users. Presented at ICORR '2001 7th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics, Evry, France

Following a pilot study that suggested that force-feedback gravity wells could, under certain conditions, lead to 20- 50% improvements in time to target in a selection task, a series of experiments further investigated the potential for enhancement o...

Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Keates, S., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001, November). Perception and haptics: towards more accessible computers for motion-impaired users. Presented at PUI'01 Workshop on Perceptive User Interfaces, Orlando, FL, USA

For people with motion impairments, access to and independent control of a computer can be essential. Symptoms such as tremor and spasm, however, can make the typical keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer interaction difficult or even impossibl...

Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Baillie, L., & Benyon, D. (2001, September). Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home

In this paper, we describe a series of workshops which were carried out in homes of five
families in Scotland. The aim of the workshops was to explore the requirements that people have for
new technologies in a household environment. The workshops... Read More about Investigating ubiquitous computing in the home..

An efficient adaptive broadcast algorithm for the mesh network (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Al-Dubai, A., & Ould-Khaoua, M. (2001, June). An efficient adaptive broadcast algorithm for the mesh network

Most existing broadcast algorithms proposed for the mesh do not scale well with the network size. Furthermore, they have been mainly based on deterministic routing, which cannot exploit the alternative paths provided by mesh topology to reduce commun...

Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (2001)
Thesis
Graham, M. Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2430

The revision or reorganisation of hierarchical data sets can result in many possible hierarchical classifications composed of the same or overlapping data sets existing in parallel with each other. These data sets are difficult for people to handle a... Read More about Visualising multiple overlapping classification hierarchies..

The new HCI? navigation of information space (2001)
Journal Article
Benyon, D. (2001). The new HCI? navigation of information space. Knowledge-Based Systems, 14(8), 425-430. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0950-7051%2801%2900135-6

When we use the term ‘human–computer interaction’ (HCI), the image that is conjured up is of a person sitting at a visual display unit staring in at the world of ‘information’; the person is very much outside the space of information. But when we thi... Read More about The new HCI? navigation of information space.

Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students (2001)
Journal Article
Armitage, A. (2001). Teaching multitasking to electronics and computing students. International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, 38, 338-347

Although widely used in the solution of engineering problems, multitasking is conceptually as complicated as parallel processing. A simple system that covers the key features of multitasking in a short time is presented. A description is given of its...

Getting the story straight (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., Turner, P., Turner, S., & McCall, R. (2001, September). Getting the story straight. Presented at HCI 2001 and IHM 2001, Lille, France

We argue that the use of a user-centred design approach necessarily involves some form of story telling or narrative. Given that both the potential end-users and the designers themselves often (perhaps usually) have different interests and points-of-... Read More about Getting the story straight.
