| | Invisible computing, sometimes also referred to as "pervasive computing" or "ubiquitous computing", describes a somewhat contrarian approach that seeks to simplify and reduce the visibility of computing devices in order to minimize the effort and expertise required of their users. | | | WIMP, which was first introduced in the 1960's, and then commercialized during the 1970's and 80's, was designed for a computing environment that is very different than the one that exists today. | | | Mobile computing devices are becoming increasingly powerful and connected, introducing a need for new interfaces that are geographically-aware, and optimized for smaller screens and keypads. |

| | Human-Centered Computing Education Digital Library - a repository of freely-available Human-Centered Computing and HCI educational materials. | | | Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both software and hardware, for example, general purpose computer peripherals and large-scale mechanical systems such as aircraft and power plants. | | | A basic goal of HCI is to improve the interaction between users and computers by making computers more user-friendly and receptive to the user's needs. |

| | Research Summary |
| | A fundamental challenge in computer graphics and visualization is developing adequate models to represent the complex objects that arise in mechanical design and scientific computation. | | | We expect that this may be a key component of analog computations for computer graphics. | | | The long-term goals are 1) to explore consequences and aspects of new mathematical paradigms, 2) to develop computational approaches to the new paradigms in software, both sequential and parallel, and 3) implement some of the algorithms in analog VLSI hardware, for greater speed and interactivity. |
