The structure and development of human-computer interfaces
… implementing, testing, and modifying interactive human-computer systems. As in the early stages of software engineering development, current approaches to human-computer interface design are ad hoc, unstructured, and incomplete. The primary goal of this research has been to develop a structural, …

Flexible sensors for high-quality recording and human-computer interface
Human-computer interfaces have been widely developed to bridge the gap in information transmission and enable the interaction between humans and computers. It provides unique opportunities to understand, augment, assist and repair the cognitive, sensory, and motor functions. Due to the soft nature …

A controlled experiment to identify and test a representative primitive set of user object-oriented cursor actions
… decomposing the user cursor action component of human-computer interfaces into individual components based on the four categories: target size, target distance, target direction, and selection mode, was investigated. A primitive task set consisting of the Cartesian product of specific elements of …

Capturing Tacit Knowledge of Experts through the Study of Visual Attention: Applications for Human Expertise and AI
Tacit or implicit knowledge is know-how that humans cannot convey explicitly; it is difficult to verbalize, and hence, it is challenging to transfer to others in words. Tacit knowledge is usually gained from experience and internalized unconsciously through implicit learning. Since tacit knowledge …

Flexible environments in dynamic lexical analysis systems
In this thesis, a system for studying human/computer interfaces is introduced. The human/computer interface provides several features, the most noteable of which is TOKEN COMPLETION. These features permit the user to define and/or redefine command tokens, define and/or delete synonym and noiseword …
