The novel paradigm of Generative user interfaces introduces a shift from predefined, static interfaces toward dynamically generated and contextually adaptive user experiences. While personalization in Information Systems (IS) is well established, it has largely focused on adapting content and functionality, whereas the user interface itself often remains predefined and static. Generative user int…

Every Frame Perfect A while ago I was reading about Wayland and this quote stuck with me: A stated goal of Wayland is “every frame is perfect”. And I think this is a goal we should all aspire to. Wayland is talking about the technical side of things (modern GPU stacks are very complex and Wayland is trying to take control back) but it could be applied to UI too. The rule of thumb is: If I take a …

Linguists have a word for the um s, uh s, er s, and elongated versions (ummmm , uhhhhh ) that pad spoken English: disfluencies. I don’t record a lot of voice audio, but a few friends do, and they tell me editing those out by hand is miserable. So I built erm to do it. uvx erm input.wav That’s the whole interface for the common case. It writes a cleaned .wav and a JSON cut list next to the input. …

IntroductionThe MADCOW annotation system enables group-based annotation, allowing users to direct annotations toward communities focused on specific domain topics. In smart city environments, such groups may include citizens, urban planners, and domain experts collaborating on urban services, infrastructure, mobility, environment, and public safety. Existing recommendation approaches mainly rely …

Digital transformation, on one end, has made life more compatible in the ultra-fast-growing world but, on the other end, has caused many complexities in the form of technology interruption and distraction. During the technology consumption experience, individuals receive multiple communications from personal and professional counterparts, which trigger their instinct to respond in between the ori…

IntroductionProcess-level mechanisms remain underexplored in computer animation education. This study reports an initial empirical test and refinement of the Cognitive Affective Model of MoCap Training (CAMMT), which proposes that immersion and action-contingent interactivity shape training through psychological affordances and related cognitive-affective processes.MethodsImmersion and interactiv…

Most UI components feel like UI components. You click a toggle and it moves. Fine. It works. But it doesn't feel like anything. I wanted to change that. The idea I've always been drawn to physical interfaces — the satisfying click of a mechanical switch, the weight of a hardware knob, the way a button depresses when you press it. Web UI almost never captures that. Everything is flat, instant, wei…

Purpose : There has been a marked increase in use of a noninvasive functional imaging technique called optoretinography (ORG). As more groups use ORGs, it is crucial to have a consistent methodology, and understand what analysis parameters influence repeatability. In this work, we present an open-source software library called ƒ(Cell) designed to facilitate reproducible and repeatable analyses of…

Journal of Computer Science, Published online: 5 June 2026; doi:10.3844/jcssp.2026.1767.1784 Traditional craftsmanship served as both a manifestation of cultural heritage and a vital pillar of the global creative economy. However, its digital integration was frequently hindered by low technol...

I'm going to show you an effect that you'll recognise immediately, perhaps without ever having paid it much attention. Take any collection of elements that react to hover: a list of menu items, swatches in a colour picker, squares in a grid. Now quickly swipe your cursor across them: In real life, your hand moves across your desk, or your finger across the screen, in a continuous, unbroken motion…

Building an Accessible Design System Playground: A Practical Frontend Guide Building an Accessible Design System Playground: A Practical Frontend Guide Creating a design system is more than building a component library; it’s about establishing a living, accessible, and scalable playground where teams can experiment, learn, and align on UI decisions. This tutorial walks you through building an acc…

Cmd+C , Cmd+V , Cmd+Z — the basics settle into procedural memory quickly. Beyond that, most shortcuts remain things we intend to learn eventually. The resources are easy to find. Most applications expose shortcuts directly in their menus, publish reference pages, and allow custom key bindings. Yet a 2005 study by Lane, Napier, Peres, and Sandor found that even experienced users relied on keyboard…

Modern frontend frameworks give us structure to build complex, scalable web platforms. But if you look under the hood of many enterprise applications, you will find hundreds of clickable <div> elements . Relying on the most generic layout container for core user interactions is more than lazy - it breaks the web for users who rely on assistive technologies, worsens native browser performance, and…

Adding UI to Colab You can show UI in a Google Colaboratory notebook. Input forms, buttons, and so on are handy when other people use your notebook. A form's value is reflected into the cell's variable. Live Colab notebook sample Cell title #@title cell title Input form You can reflect the form's content into a variable in the cell. variable = " the form is reflected into the variable " #@param {…

Jef Raskin founded the Macintosh project at Apple, which led to the development of the Apple Mac and the popularisation of the graphical user-interface. He was Apple employee #31 and left the Macintosh team in mid-1981 after Steve Jobs took over the project. Jason Walsh: Before the Mac you were a professor of music. As a musician you presumably appreciate complex but specific tools for use by vir…
