Computer Interfaces: Hands, Eyes, Voice and Mind
41 pages

This report examines the current state of computer interfaces, organizes key issues and puts them in context, and succinctly explains how the technology works.

Research in human-computer interaction spans a wide range, from improving graphical user interfaces to conveying information to computers via speech recognition, gesture recognition, and gaze tracking. Researchers are also working to give computers a broader awareness of humans through mixed modes of communication and tracking people’s positions and movements.

The report includes an executive summary, a list of 10 developments to look for as these cutting-edge technologies take shape, and a section of 18 researchers to watch, including links to their Web pages. It also includes a quick tour of 27 recent developments in six areas and a section of 25 in-depth news stories from TRN.

The stories are organized into six categories: screen interfaces, hands-free input, speech and sound interfaces, gesture and multimodal interfaces, computer senses and emotion, and neural interfaces.
TRN's Making the Future reports contain live links, and can be read on a computer, printed and archived.
