We had 14 attendees at our first NUCHI meeting in over a year. Thanks to all those who presented and attended. A special thanks to Novell Human Factors for providing the room.
CSCW 98 (Computer Supported Collaborative Work)
- Dave Nay
Dave gave a quick tour of some of the highlights of CSCW. Below are links to some of the items he mentioned.
- Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Web-based Patient Support Systems (neuro-oas.mgh.harvard.edu/cscw98/)
- WebPath - Narrated, guided tours of the web (look for WebPath at www.lotus.com/research)
- Doug Engelbart - pioneer and inventor of hypermedia, groupware, the mouse, etc. (www.acm.org/sigchi/cscw98/program/plenaries.html)
- Showed Insight Lab: A Team Workspace segment from the CSCW video (contact Dave if you would like to borrow the tape)
CHI 99: Computers and Trust Relationships
- Bob Wilson
Bob spoke about the conflicts between anonymity and privacy on the web. He mentioned that the qualities of similarity, consistency, appearance (not sloppy or shoddy) and fluency (how comfortable - fluid interaction) affect levels of trust.
Clifford Nass participated on a panel and was interviewed at CHI 99. His page provides links to papers related to this subject. (www.stanford.edu/group/STS/nass.shtml)
CHI 99: Design teams
- Grant Skousen
Grant showed clips from Randy Pausch's Building Virtual Worlds class at Carnegie Mellon. Cross disciplinary teams there build a 3-d world every two weeks using Alice software. Also, briefly discussed the environment at the MAYA Design Group. Both of these events were CHI after hour tours.
A quote from the Randy Pausch video: "The only way to really be part of something bigger than yourself is to step outside of your own community and work with people who are trained differently than you are."
