Activity Exploration of Alternative User
Interaction Devices and Methods

• in a small group, select one or two devices or
  methods for user interaction that are not in
  common use
• pick a target population, and try to determine
  under which circumstances the introduction of
  those device and methods may be successful
• post a brief description of your findings on the
  Blackboard discussion forum

Key Points

• user interaction design and development is shaped
  by the technologies, devices, methods, and
  paradigms in current use
• alternatives may be superior, but cannot overcome
  the huge advantage of wide usage
• user acceptance is often subjective
