Human-ComputerInteraction(HCI) isaconstantlymovingfield. Changesincomputing
technologiesextendtheirpossibleusesandmodifytheconditionsofexistingones. People

Intheearly1960s, atatimewherecomputerswerescarce, expensive, bulkyandformalscheduledmachinesusedforautomaticcomputations, Engelbart sawtheirpotentialas

Ourresearchprogramisorganizedaroundthreemainthemes: leveraginghumancontrol
skills, leveraginghumanperceptualskills, andleveraginghumanlearningskills.
■ Leveraginghumancontrolskills
Ourgrouphasdevelopedauniqueandrecognizedexpertisein transferfunctions, i.e. the
algorithmictransformationsofrawuserinputforsystemuse. Transferfunctionsdefine
howuseractionsaretakenintoaccountbythesystem. Theycanmakeataskeasieror
impossible and thus largely condition user performance, no matter the criteria (speed,
accuracy, comfort, fatigue, etc). Ideally, thetransferfunctionshouldbechosenortuned
tomatchtheinteractioncontext. Yetthequestionofhowtodesignafunctiontomaximize
oneormorecriteriainagivencontextremainsanopenone, andon-demandadaptation
isdifficultbecausefunctionsareusuallyimplementedatthelowestpossibleleveltoavoid
latencyproblems. Latencymanagementandtransferfunctiondesignaretwoproblems

weinvestigatecombinationsoflow-level(embedded)andhigh-level(application)ways
totakeusercapabilitiesandtaskcharacteristicsintoaccountandreduceorcompensate

opticalfingernavigationdeviceorabrain-computerinterface.

8. NewResults
Thefollowingsectionssummarizeourmainresultsoftheyear. Foracompletelist, see
thelistofpublicationsattheendofthisreport.
■ HCI models, theories, andframeworks
Participants: GéryCasiez, AlixGoguey, StéphaneHuot.
Pointingisoneofthemostcommonandfrequentactionmadewithanyinteractivesystem
whetheritbeadesktopcomputer, amobiledeviceorawall-sizedisplay. Althoughithas

tools–suchasFitts’law-–donotmodelunpredictablemotion. Toinformthedesignof

whenselectingmovingobjectsina2D environmentwithastandardmouse. Wecharacterizedselectionperformanceasafunctionofthepredictabilityofthemovingtargets,
basedonthreeparameters: thespeed(S) ofthetarget, thefrequency(F) atwhichthetarget
changesdirection, andtheamplitude(A) ofthosedirectionchanges. Ourresultsshow
thatforagivenspeed, selectionisrelativelyeasywhenA andF arebothloworhigh, and
difficultotherwise [12].
Inspiteofpreviousworkshowingtheimportanceofunderstandingusers’strategieswhen
performingtasks, HCI researcherscomparinginteractiontechniquesremainmainlyfocusedonperformance. Thiscanbeexplainedtosomeextentbythedifficultytocharacterizeusers’strategies. Toalleviatethisproblem, weintroducednewmetricstoquantifyif

favorcompletingtheactionsonanobjectbeforemovingtothenextone, orincontrast,
iftheyarereluctanttoswitchbetweencommands [10]. Throughastudycomparingtwo
novel interaction techniques with two from the literature, we showed that our metrics
allowtoreplicatepreviousfindingsonusers’strategiesconcerningthelatter.

■ Transferfunctionsandlatency
Participants: GéryCasiez, AlixGoguey, StéphaneHuot, SylvainMalacria, NicolasRoussel.
Ourworkontransferfunctionsmainlyfocusedthisyearon edge-scrolling, whichallows
userstoscrollaviewportwhilesimultaneouslydraggingnearorbeyonditsedge. Commonimplementationsrelyonratecontrol, mappingthedistancebetweenthepointerand
theedgeoftheviewporttothescrollingvelocity. Whileubiquitousinoperatingsystems,
edge-scrolling had received little attention, though previous works suggested that rate

theseproblems, wedeveloped Push-Edge and Slide-Edge twoposition-basedtechniques
