Presentations

1.  How did humans interact with computers between 1940 and 1970? Were there computers anyway?

⁄  Dani & Florian ⁄  Results: Binary; Transistors & ICs; there was always a keyboard!;

we had no GUI before 1970

2.  How could one interact via a command line interface? Disadvantages? Advantages?

⁄  Fan ⁄  Results: You need to control technology!; a CLI can be faster/ more

efficient; you need to speak the language

3.  Who invented the mouse? How did ancient mice look like? ⁄  Laura & Felix ⁄  Results: Technology is always invented for military purposes; there

was no need for the (existing) mouse for quite some time; it was developed for zero gravity

5.  Are there alternatives to the mouse? ⁄  Joel ⁄  Results: The trackball has the highest market share among the rest of

pointing devices; speech control works only in silence; brain mouse might be the future!

5.  Present the iPhone. What is special concerning HCI? ⁄  Liesa ⁄  Results: Sometimes, using fingers is less efficient; 2 fingers is the

innovation; there is only one hardware interface element left

7.  Present Bill Buxton’s overview of multi-touch. ⁄  Stefan
