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 Buxtons overview of multi-touch.
