Tuesday Roundup


After learning what HCI actually is, we explored some cool ways to use a computer. We watched some video demos about new HCI technologies being researched which don't use a mouse, keyboard, or even a screen! Then it was off to University of Manitoba HCI lab. There we had the chance to use some of the technologies we explore earlier.

Back in the classroom, we tested out some different ways we can use a Nintendo Wii Remote to control a computer, including head tracking and a virtual whiteboard. We even had the chance of trying to build our own hats to use with the Wii Remote head tracker.
