Usability Quote of the Day

January 6, 2009

The prevailing computer-human interaction (CHI) model of interface design has been partly responsible for the current state of the desktop computer. The breakthrough on which the field emerged was the admission of psychological principles. The resulting graphical user interface has been the focus of the field of computer-human interaction for nearly 20 years. This interface is a virtual control panel whose design has remained quite technology-centered. -- Malcolm McCullough, Digital Ground, 2004   (via interaction-design.org)

Aesthetic Approaches to HCI

"This is a report of the NordiCHI 2004 Workshop on Aesthetic Approaches to Human-Computer Interaction, which took place in October at the University of Tampere. (The workshop was organised by Olav W. Bertelsen, Marianne G. Petersen and Soren Pold), writes John Knight of User-Lab.

'With the computer we have a new paradigm of material that can be visible or invisible'

This workshop advanced HCI aesthetics into a research agenda. It concluded by formulating foundations of HCI aesthetics (chiaesthetics?). These centred on developing a new vocabulary of interactive experiences that defines the material of presence grounded in research involving experiment, analysis and intervention."

A nice summary of presentations at NordiCHI ...
