The theme for this quarter is alternative user interfaces. By alternative
we mean options to the standard GUI interface with keyboard/mouse and
display combined together to provide a desktop machine. It's an aging
method of interaction which is overly confining and in some cases
dangerous.
To get the creative juices flowing this quarter, our first reading
will be:
Blair MacIntyre, Steve Feiner. Future Multimedia User Interfaces. Multimedia
Systems Journal, Vol. 4, Number 5, pp. 250-268.
I have made copies of this article and placed them on the cabinet
in the GVU main office. Please pick up the article and read it
before Monday. I will lead the discussion this week.

See you on Monday!
