Interacting with Groups of Computers
AUIs recognize human attention in order to respect and react to how users distribute their attention in technology-laden environments.
Many significant advances in research on human creativity
have occurred, yet today's tools often contain interface
elements that stymie creative efforts. A discontinuity exists
between technology tools and our ability to interact with
them in natural, beneficial, and, most importantly for this
discussion, creative ways. Some computer scientists and
human-computer interaction specialists are finding compelling
opportunities to apply creativity research findings to new
interfaces [3]. The articles in this section
present insights, struggles, and perspectives gained through
developing interfaces and technologies to support human
creativity. The authors are not experts in creativity but
experts in human-computer interaction motivated to bridge the
gap between current approaches to computer usability and
creativity techniques.
The future is about creating an environment where the complications and the distractions of technology are not upsetting, diverting, or overwhelming. Technology is already guiding us to information that is valuable to us, but people care more about relationships and communicating with people—these are the foci in the future. Our work in the Context Aware […]
