Introduction

New Interaction Styles

• Virtual and augmented reality
• Ubiquitous, pervasive, and handheld interaction
• Tangible user interfaces
• Lightweight, tacit, passive, or non-command
• Perceptual interfaces
• Affective computing
• Context-aware interfaces
• Ambient interfaces
• Embodied interfaces
• Sensing interfaces
• Eye-movement based interaction
• Speech and multi-modal interfaces
• . . . .

Questions

• Next generation or just disparate developments?
• What is common? What things or ideas connect
  them? What differs?
• Psychological evidence, theories
• How to test or validate frameworks and concepts
• Give leverage to move forward, predict,
  understand, find sweet spots?
• Opportunities inspired by gaps uncovered

A Starting Point Reality-Based Interaction

• Exploit skills/expectations user already has
• Computer interaction more like interacting with
  rest of world
• Ex Navigation in VR
• Ex Tangible interaction with objects
• Also Operate system in world, combine with
  normal actions
• Ex Cell phone, ubicomp, context-aware

5
Real vs. Artificial

• Continuum not dichotomy
• Exact duplicate of real world?
• Reality plus extensions
• Desktop GUI plus "find" command
• Interact normally plus can turn on X-ray vision
• Walk and move normally plus can fly by leaning
• Grasp and move tangible architectural model
• Separate our claims
• Is a good characterization of next generation
• Is a good UI (not necessarily)

6
Workshop Tasks

• Find common elements for understanding,
  discussing, identifying a next generation of HCI
• Researchers to consider this topic explicitly
• Reality-based interaction as concrete starting
  point
• Extend, expand, find support
• Disagree, discredit, replace
• Introduce alternative opposing or complementary
  approaches

7
Workshop Outputs

• Lens, common language
• For viewing, discussing, comparing proposed new
  UI ideas
• Provide coordinate axes, put into perspective,
  organize
• Research agenda
• Gaps, sweet spots suggested by frameworks
• Ways to evaluate or validate frameworks
• Community of HCI researchers
• Thinking specifically about connecting our
  research to other developments in next generation
  HCI
