HCI Technology Final Assignment

HCI Literature and You

Princeton University CS, Fall 2008
Due by 5:PM, Mondday, January 12

Even though this assignment is oriented toward
making your group projects as amazing as
possible, each member of your group must do it
individually and turn in a separate written document.

A) All members of your group:
Download the "required paper" from the list
below that is associated with your group name.
Read it, and answer the following questions:

    Note: Please see section viii) below about 
    rules for group collaboration on this project-
    related final assignment.

	i)   What device(s) or technology(s) were the 
		authors trying to build and test?
	ii)  What proposed application(s)s were the 
		authors investigating?
	iii) What question(s) were the authors trying to answer?
	iv)  How many test subjects did the authors use in 
		their evaluation?
	v)   What experimental design procedures did the 
		authors use in their experiments?
	vi)  What were the final results of the experiments?
	vii) What weaknesses did the authors point up (describe) 
		in their own device(s), technology(s), 
		and experiment(s)?

	viii) What have you learned from this, related to your 
		own final project?  (It is OK to consult
		with your project group on this section,
		but you must have read the paper and written
		up sections i - vii by yourself).

B) Each member of your group:
Find a paper directly related to your
project, download it, and answer
the same questions i - viii above.
You might check out the "see also"
suggestions from the list below
for some ideas, but you might have
or find other papers that are even better.

Your chosen/reviewed paper should be a
journal-style article, preferably from
a journal or conference proceedings (not just
a random web page or other non-academic source).

Confer with your group to determine that your
(B) paper is different from those selected by other
group members.

Include a link to your paper in your writeup.

Feel free to look up papers in journals for
which no .pdf exists on the world-wide internets,
since many of the best journals actually
protect the copyright of the papers.
In this case, actually photocopy the paper
and attach it to your writeup for this assignment.
