| summary | “One-size-fits-all” user interfaces often fail to satisfy the needs of individual users. Several studies have suggested that that the usability of desktop applications could improve significantly if usage patterns were considered. The first part of my presentation will focus on the design and evaluation of bubbling menus, a personalized form of menus that accelerate menu selection. Within this context, I will comment on the long debate concerning the effectiveness of automatic adaptation and end with recommendations about the design and evaluation of adaptation techniques.
In the second part of my talk, I will present our recent work at the In Situ lab at LRI with music composers at IRCAM. Our studies have shown that the need for personalization is not only relevant to usage patterns. Users engaged in highly creative tasks have to strangle with limitations of current interfaces. They often return to paper, since it better accommodates the openness of their ideas. In response to our observations, we have designed an extensible interaction language and a customization interface that let composers personalize their interactions with paper and link them with available composition software. I will discuss how our approach has evolved throughout a participatory design process and reflect on the role of augmented paper as a personalization tool. |
