Future progress in genetic research and technologies is likely to
further increase the availability of interactive personal genomic
information to non-experts. This trend raises technological,
ethical, and regulatory concerns related to how people make sense
of, engage with, and rely on their personal genomic data. Such
concerns are not only of paramount importance for health
professionals and policy makers, but are also a pressing issue for
human-computer interaction (HCI) research. HCI tools, methods and
practices can help make genomic information more accessible and
understandable to non-experts. These authors make the argument that
the complexity, importance, and personal relevance of this type of
information makes understanding, informing, and empowering
non-experts' interaction with personal genomics a key challenge
that lies ahead for the HCI community. This monograph explores the
roles HCI can play in helping non-experts contribute, understand,
engage with, and share their personal genomic information. It is
also a call to action for those that are interested in the
intersection of personal informatics and HCI, and, more broadly, in
facilitating non-expert interaction with large amounts of complex,
personal and uncertain information.
In the last two decades, Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have
emerged as a new interface type that interlinks the digital and
physical worlds. Drawing upon users' knowledge and skills of
interaction with the real non-digital world, TUIs show a potential
to enhance the way in which people interact with and leverage
digital information. However, TUI research is still in its infancy
and extensive research is required in order to fully understand the
implications of tangible user interfaces, to develop technologies
that further bridge the digital and the physical, and to guide TUI
design with empirical knowledge. This paper examines the existing
body of work on Tangible User Interfaces. This book starts by
sketching the history of tangible user interfaces, examining the
intellectual origins of this field. It then presents TUIs in a
broader context, survey application domains, and review frameworks
and taxonomies. The authors also discuss conceptual foundations of
TUIs including perspectives from cognitive sciences, psychology,
and philosophy. Methods and technologies for designing, building,
and evaluating TUIs are also addressed. Finally, they discuss the
strengths and limitations of TUIs and chart directions for future
research.
This book investigates multiple facets of the emerging discipline
of Tangible, Embodied, and Embedded Interaction (TEI). This is a
story of atoms and bits. We explore the interweaving of the
physical and digital, toward understanding some of their wildly
varying hybrid forms and behaviors. Spanning conceptual,
philosophical, cognitive, design, and technical aspects of
interaction, this book charts both history and aspirations for the
future of TEI. We examine and celebrate diverse trailblazing works,
and provide wide-ranging conceptual and pragmatic tools toward
weaving the animating fires of computation and technology into
evocative tangible forms. We also chart a path forward for TEI
engagement with broader societal and sustainability challenges that
will profoundly (re)shape our children's and grandchildren's
futures. We invite you all to join this quest.
