I am
interested in the time when wireless communication devices will become so small
that real estate for the user interface will be the main design issue. I
envision a base wireless communication device that can fit easily, e.g., on a
finger ring. How will the user interact with such a device? My current
hypothesis is that the user interface has to be modular (user interface
elements, either local worn on the body or part of the environment, are linked
dynamically and wirelessly), multi modal (user and device both can
select the appropriate input and output modes, e.g., speech, keyboard, vision,
gesture), and the device itself context sensitive (since user will likely
perform other tasks simultaneously, having her undivided attention is not
likely anymore, and therefore the device has to adapt and adjust the possible
cognitive loads put on her), and probably a content transcoder.
Publications
from the following three bigger areas could contribute to my main area:
The written requirement for this area will consist of a
publishable quality paper.
