...is used to modify our interaction with the environment. The sixth sense technology is an effort to connect this data in the digital world in to the real world. Sixth Sense Technology is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures. The camera recognizes objects around a person instantly, with the micro-projector overlaying the information on any surface, including the object itself or hand. Also can access or manipulate the information using fingers. Introduction Although miniaturized versions of computers help us to connect to the digital world even while we are travelling there aren’t any device as of now which gives a direct link between the digital world and our physical interaction with the real world. Usually the information is stored traditionally on a paper or a digital storage device. Sixth sense technology helps to bridge this gap between tangible and non-tangible world. Sixth sense device is basically a wearable gestural interface that connects the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with this information. The sixth sense technology was developed by Pranav Mistry, a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab. The sixth sense technology has a Web 4.0 view of human and machine interactions. Sixth Sense integrates digital information into the physical world and its objects, making the entire world your computer. It can turn any surface...

...Research Paper Human/Computer Interaction By Robert Schooley Business Finance 320 Rick Powell Columbia College Human/Computer Interaction This paper should provide an overview of human-computer interaction. It is interesting the methods humans have been using to interact with computers, and the relationship has been on a long journey. This journey has not ended however, in fact, it continues as new designs of computers utilize new technologies. New computer systems manifest on the market ever growing, every day, and the research of the human/computer interaction has been a rapid growing field in last twenty years. The development of adaptive interfaces instead of command and action-based ones was a big enough breakthrough. However, the active interfaces instead of the passive ones, is a major step forward. The growth in the field of human/computer interaction has been related to the quality of the interaction as well as the different branching areas experienced in its history. Rather than just designing normal interfaces, in the past the differing researching branches often had multiple focuses concerning the concepts relating to multimodality. This multimodality comprises an inter-disciplinary attitude which understands the communication and the representation is not just about language. For the last ten years it was developed to answer the questions, and address the much debated changes the society undergoes...

...Ergonomics, human engineering or human factors engineering is the science of creating products or designing machines which maximize safety, comfort or efficiency of people who use them. People who work with ergonomics apply general principles of industrial engineering, psychology, anthropometrics, which is the science of human measurement, and even biomechanics to adapt certain designs of products or workplaces to peoples constitution, strengths and limitations. This science also takes into consideration peoples reactions and the amount of time they need to process a specific task or information received from their environment, as well as the capacity of dealing with certain psychological factors, mainly stress and isolation. Once a study about a certain group of peoples reactions to their environment has been made, people who design with ergonomics attempt to develop the best possible design for a system or product. Ergonomists view people and a the object or machine they will use as a sole unit, and the ergonomic approach to design blends the persons abilities with those of the machine. When designing one must take into account the several limitations of both the mechanical and the human factor involved in a certain workspace. Human beings need to rest or experience less stress when realizing a certain task or they will spend their energies quickly and begin making mistakes when working, they are also subject to illness, accidents and the need of rest.

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION Nowadays, the way many people interact with each other changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make? Has this become a positive or negative development? It is true that nowadays technology rules the world. Undoubtedly, human interaction has been influenced through introduction of new technological devices. Obviously, there are positive and negative impacts on people communication that technology is responsible for. First of all, absolute advantage is that technology makes the world move faster. To support, speed of daily business interactions increasing all the time. Internet, mobile phones, online conferences significantly saves time on solving any business issues such as contract agreement, recruitment procedures or client attraction. Introduction of new software or modified machines boosts volumes of production as well as it saves time. Moreover, technology overcomes distance obstacle tremendously. For instance, use of mobile phones, internet provides people with the opportunity to find new friends all over the world, without leaving own apartment and stay connected with relatives while studying or working abroad. On the other hand, introduction and popularity of new technological devices may have harmful impact on human interaction. It is mentioned that people prefer spending their time using personal gadgets over real face to face communication. This problem has...

...Task analysis and human-computer interaction: approaches, techniques, and levels of analysis Abe Crystal School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill acrystal@email.unc.edu Beth Ellington School of Information and Library Science University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill elliv@email.unc.edu ABSTRACT In this paper we critically review task analysis models and techniques. These approaches to task analysis are discussed in order to develop a richer picture of human activity, while analyzing their limitations, general weaknesses, and possibilities for improvement. We consider their ability to determine the appropriate set of atomic actions in a task, their effect on workers’ motivational needs, their support of users’ cognitive and sociocultural processes, and their effectiveness in supporting interface design. We note that the major approaches have focused on very different levels of analysis, and call for greater integration of these different levels in task analysis theory. Keywords Task analysis, cognitive modeling, activity theory. INTRODUCTION Practitioners and researchers routinely advocate building user-centered systems which enable people to reach their goals, take account of natural human limitations, and generally are intuitive, efficient and pleasurable to use (Preece, Rogers and Sharp, 2002). Central to the design of such systems is a clear understanding of what users actually want to do: What...

...Work-Related Project Analysis Part 2 BSA/376 October 15, 2012 Andrew Nash, MBA Introduction to Elements of System Design Managing a live project past the planning stage is a stressful and complex process. It takes a very special person to do this kind of job and even though it is stressful, that special person thrives in this kind of work and are very good at managing it. For a successful project management, there are four areas that must be controlled and they are: 1. Assigning tasks to team members after organizing each individual into a team. 2. Closely monitoring and controlling the progress of the project. 3. Communication monitoring for the project. 4. Keeping track of all the open activities in the lifetime of the project. Systems design is the structuring the components and organizing the process of the system so that the new system can be programmed. The components are composed of the network, software, application architecture, system interfaces, user interfaces, the system appthat were built during the analysis. The outputs are the models or diagrams that describes the architecture of the system and detailed logic within the various components of the programming. Traditional Approach to Design The traditional approach to systems design is the data flow diagram which is enhanced by the addition of system boundary in which the designer sketches the system boundary to show the overall system. A structured design includes a system flowchart which show...

...Introduction Over the years, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has been trying to increase the good experience and try to reduce bad experiences as much as possibly with technology. The rapid change in technology allows users to use wide range of applications while on the move, however now and then designers ignore the way clients will need to associate with such interfaces while progressing. It is inefficient if an interface has good software but users struggle to relate with it because of a bad design. The design of a user interface must be simple enough so that it can be easy to interact by novice or expert user. A well designed interface is able to empower and support users who require a sense of agency and control. It is important...
