The graphical user interface (GUI) has become the prime means for interacting with
computing systems. It leverages human perceptual and motor capabilities for elementary …

Today's computer–human interfaces are typically designed with the assumption that they are
going to be used by an able-bodied person, who is using a typical set of input and output …

Users often rely on GUIs to edit and interact with visualizations—a daunting task due to the
large space of editing options. As a result, users are either overwhelmed by a complex UI or …

Adaptive user interfaces can make technology more accessible. Quite a number of
conceptual and technical approaches have been proposed for adaptations to diverse user …

Over six years, we iterated on the design of a language for describing the functionality of
appliances, such as televisions, telephones, VCRs, and copiers. This language has been …

Remote controls facilitate interactions at-a-distance with appliances. However, the
complexity, diversity, and increasing number of digital appliances in ubiquitous computing …

Ten years ago, I introduced the notion of user interface plasticity to denote the capacity of
user interfaces to adapt, or to be adapted, to the context of use while preserving usability …

This manuscript presents an infrastructure that contributes to ubiquitous information.
Advances in Ambient Intelligence may help to provide us with the right information at the …

The personal universal controller system lets users interact with their appliances through
automatically generated remote control interfaces on their smart phone devices. In this …

Networked devices for the storage and rendering of digital media are rapidly becoming
