Abstract
Multi-touch user interfaces has sparked a new era in human-computer interaction, but the smart devices we use everyday are still not very smart in many ways. For example, today’s smartphones and tablets often rotate screens incorrectly, because they rotate screens based on gravity instead of users’ reading orientation.
In this talk, I will first present an overview of the evolution of user interfaces over the last 30 years. He will then present several enabling technologies that provide smarter user interfaces and explore future interaction possibilities, including tangible, tactile, and grasp-based interfaces:
- TUIC: enabling tangible interaction on capacitive multi-touch displays.
- Clip-on Gadgets: expanding multi-touch interaction area with unpowered tactile controls.
- iRotate: automatic screen rotation based on face orientation.
- iGrasp: Grasp-based adaptive user interface for mobile devices.
