Most people have never met an eSitter. That is partly the point. The job happens in an observation room, not at the bedside. But it is one of the most interesting new roles in the hospital, and it is worth understanding what the work actually looks like — because it explains what a real eSitting platform has to do. The observer signs in and receives a patient assignment: twelve rooms, spread acro…

Forms are an essential part of many interactions, but good form layout and clear labels are only part of the picture. Forms also need to work in all the ways users interact with them. Not everyone uses a mouse. Many users rely on keyboards, whether by preference, motor impairments, or because they use assistive technologies such as screen readers. How a form handles keyboard navigation, action bu…

_Journal of Soft Computing and Artificial Intelligence_ 4 (2):80-92. 2024Undoubtedly, virtual reality technologies stand out as one of the most rapidly expanding domains in the present era. Apart from features like clarity of vision, viewing angle and time distortion that are improving daily, user interfaces are another crucial part of this technology that is not talked about much but must be. Th…

Before you have a single real user in a testing session, you can already find a significant proportion of the usability problems in a design. Expert evaluation, also known as heuristic evaluation, is one of the most cost-effective methods available to UX practitioners. It requires no recruitment, facilities, or scheduling. What it does require is expertise, judgment, and a structured set of guide…

In this video, William Hudson, User Experience Strategist and Founder of Syntagm Ltd, explores the psychological phenomena that affect how users perceive changes in dynamic web interfaces. While the focus is on web pages, these principles apply to any interactive technology, from desktop applications to mobile interfaces.[[video:2250]]Understanding Human PerceptionWhen we add dynamic functionalit…

The first time HCI does anything hard, it hurts. I want to tell you why that is a feature. Two weeks ago we launched HCI ONE Rounding, and I admitted in the launch post that our one-day Epic writeback install took four days. Epic is very specific about what gets written into a patient’s chart, and it should be. Here is what I did not fully explain: what happened during those four days is the enti…

Most WebAssembly articles talk about performance. Yours runs 5x faster than pure JavaScript. Great. This one is about something different: how Wasm's sandboxed execution model makes certain privacy failures structurally impossible -- and how we built 90+ browser tools around that property. The Problem We Were Solving When someone uses iLovePDF, Smallpdf, or Adobe Acrobat Online to process a PDF, …

Computer Science > Human-Computer Interaction Title:Kale: A Transformation-Safe Spreadsheet System View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Spreadsheet formulas can refer to rectangular ranges of arbitrary size. When a user changes the structure of a referenced table, the spreadsheet system updates the references to refer to a new range. Unfortunately, this new range may differ from the …

Wearable-based human activity recognition (HAR) has emerged as a valuable method for capturing activities across diverse domains, including rehabilitation, occupational ergonomics, sports, and human-computer interaction (HCI). While recognition performance can be significantly enhanced by leveraging multiple complementary sensors, this approach requires accurately synchronized time bases across a…

This article introduces new research on expressive arts therapy using generative AI and human-computer interaction (HCI).

This study aims to evaluate teachers’ perceived usability of a Learning Management System (LMS) implemented in a national STEM pedagogy pilot and to identify priority areas for refinement before large-scale implementation. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 152 senior high school (Sekolah Menengah Atas/SMA) and vocational high school (Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan/SMK) teachers from 38 Ind…

A meme template picker has a difficult information-architecture problem: users recognize some formats by sight, others by name, and many only within a cultural context. A grid of images may look efficient while hiding meaning, age, source, and intended use. This article is based on public interface text. It is not a source-code, private-API, or production-architecture review. Treat a template as …

This article reviews research on tangible devices that support meditation and mindfulness in human–computer interaction (HCI).

In your work as a designer, you will find yourself working closely with different stakeholders, and none more common than software engineers or developers, who are responsible for implementing your designs. Designers and developers share a common goal — to do what’s best for the user and for the business. But the day-to-day realities of their collaboration aren’t so clear-cut and idyllic. The mai…

Infrared thermography has emerged as a non-invasive technique for monitoring physiological processes in clinical rehabilitation; however, its adoption remains limited due to challenges in usability, data integration, and measurement reliability. This work presents the design and development of a thermographic medical device with a user-centered graphical user interface (GUI), integrating real-tim…

The guidelines you know were written for web pages. Native apps borrow their intent and rewrite the mechanics. If your accessibility strategy assumes one rulebook covers all three platforms, you are shipping compliance debt you cannot see. There is a comfortable myth in a lot of accessibility programs: that WCAG is WCAG, a checklist is a checklist, and once your team has learned to write accessib…

The Sahid Surakarta University website serves as a platform for information and academic services utilized by students, faculty, prospective students, alumni, and the general public. Consequently, the website's usability quality requires evaluation to ensure users can access information easily and comfortably. This study aims to evaluate the usability level of the Universitas Sahid Surakarta webs…
