Interaction Design for Everyday Technologies
This event took place on Wednesday 11 May 2005 at 12:30
Prof. William Gaver
As digital devices pervade our everyday lives, the scope of issues addressed by Human-Computer Interaction is growing and changing. We need to understand people?s attitudes and emotions as well as their needs and goals; we need to consider how to make technology delightful and desirable as well as useful and usable; and we need to investigate how technology can help us explore and reflect as well as solve problems and perform tasks. Design and the arts suggest new approaches for HCI that can address these issues, complementing more traditional, science and engineering-based approaches. In this talk, I describe new paradigms for HCI with examples of innovative information appliances and ubiquitous computing systems we have built.
William Gaver is Professor of Interaction Research at the Royal College of Art and leader of the RCA?s involvement in the Equator IRC. He has pursued research on innovative technologies for over 15 years, working with and for companies such as Apple, Hewlett Packard, IBM and Xerox. He has gained an international reputation for a range of work that spans auditory interfaces, theories of perception and action, and interaction design. Currently he focuses on design-led methodologies and innovative technologies for everyday life.

Narrative Hypermedia is...
Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.
Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
