Tracking a user's body motion, pose and the position of each limb is now possible this can help to create new interaction as well as evaluation methods. The workshop on KINECTing Mobile Human Computer Interaction is meant to explore how mobile devices and mobile interaction can be enhanced through the capabilities of the Microsoft Kinect as well as new experiences and Kinect-augmented services for mobile devices that emerge from this new technolo</pre> Markus Löchtefeld 2012-05-15T21:57:06 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.chi-web/5203 <pre>What's funny is that I was a test participant in Jill's research at Drexel when I was a new grad student there.  It was quite an interesting experiment.

More than 100 Usability/UX researchers and practitioners have already been invited to perform this exercise and most of them agree on the fact that there is still a definite need for a standardized definition of the term UX. By sharing your views on UX, your participation in this survey will help bringing the concept of UX to maturity. Therefore, it would be a great help if you could participate and also share it with your friends or colleagues working in the field of HCI, design, marketing or IT engineering. Please find below the description of the survey and the link to participate. Thank you very much for your support and co-operation! -------------------- Get involved in UX research!

This survey is part of a research study hosted at DePaul University to determine a framework for video games intrapersonal attributes. This is a follow up survey from a previous one done two months ago. The attributes we are most concerned with are challenge, control and goals. This survey in particular would help us map those attributes to different game genres. Please only respond if you are at least 18 years old and an experienced video games player. The survey is only 30 multiple choice questions so we appreciate your participation and effort. At any point during or before the survey, you can close it and your answers will not get recorded.

This tool is an online platform where user-centered design professionals can explore and compare UCD methods in a fast an visual way. Detailed information about each method is available, aimed at the execution of the method. The current state is that we have several prototypes, visualizing parts of the interaction that we are looking for, of which some can be seen through the link above. The design is mature to the extent that we can actually start implementing, but we need funding for that. I am sending you this e-mail because the UCD Method Exploration Tool is one of the 24 nominees for TU Delft's Innovation Award &lt;http://tudelft.nl/en/cooperation/innovation-tu-delft/&gt; , and to get to into the final round of this competition it needs your vote &lt;http://enquete.tudelft.nl/nq.cfm?q=3acb7f5c-1a4b-d1</pre> Tristan Weevers User Centered Design 2011-12-02T09:52:07 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.web.chi-web
