The Xerox Star system is an important milestone in the history of computing. It was designed to create an office automation system, incorporating various office elements such as desktops, mouse…
The article presents Lucy A. Suchman’s view that interactions between humans and machines occur in specific contexts, rather than unfolding in a pre-programmed, step-by-step manner as if following a predetermined…
Xerox Star revolutionized computing by introducing the graphical user interface (GUI) and desktop metaphor, fundamentally changing the way users interact with computers. I appreciate the key role stars play in…
The demo by Douglas Engelbart and the SRI team was a game-changer because it introduced the concept of the computer mouse, and looking at it from today’s perspective, it feels…
Firstly, I truly benefited a lot from this lecture, which centered on the theme of “curiosity”. I learned about various aspects of the topic, such as what curiosity can help…
Lucy Suchman change the way we understand technology we design because her works beliefs in understanding technology in social and cultural contexts. In other words, there is a link between…
The demo by Douglas Engelbart and the team at SRI invented a series of machines that weren’t even on the market before. The demo included: It set a grounding stone…
Lucy Suchman’s contribution to the field of interaction design has been to provide many designers since then with a way to evaluate the effectiveness of technology, such as flexibility, user-centered,…
Reflecting on the development of the Xerox “Star” system, I’m inspired by its role in shaping human-computer interaction (HCI) and making technology more accessible. This history sets the stage for…
Xerox Start change the direction of computing in specific ways. First, it was designed as an office automation system so everyone could use it. Before the invention of Xerorx Star,…
This exhibition brings together a diverse collection of artworks that vividly illustrate the critical importance of social design and inclusion. Art installations are presented in a variety of forms and…
When it comes to designing interactive software as a college student, incorporating Gestalt Principles and Fitts’s Law becomes crucial. Embracing Gestalt Principles involves ensuring visual elements adhere to principles like…
Launched in 1981, the Xerox Star played a pivotal role in changing the direction of computing by introducing a number of innovative features that laid the foundation for modern graphical…
The demo was a historic and landmark demonstration of an unprecedented technological innovation that laid the foundation for the field of computing and showed how the field could evolve in…
The Xerox Star was a watershed moment in computer history, bringing together decades of study and development in user interfaces. Its origins are strongly steeped in the revolutionary work done…
On December 9, 1968, an extraordinary technology demonstration made its debut at the Computing Machinery Conference in San Francisco, an event that became known as the “Mother of All Demonstrations.”…
In the field of interaction design, the advent of Xerox Star is undoubtedly a revolutionary innovation. It not only changes the way computers are used, but also sets a new…
The exhibition displayed a diverse range of projects that demonstrate how designers can have a role in finding peace for victims to societal, environmental, and economical challenges across the globe.…
This field trip was to a design museum, with the theme centered on design and peace. An interesting exhibit was a game called “Papers, Please” by independent game developer Lucas…
Ada Lovelace and Lillian Gilbreth have carved indelible marks in the annals of interaction design, each pioneering in vastly different yet complementary ways. Lovelace, heralded as the world’s first computer…
