Plan for our course
Intensive introduction to techniques that make up user centered design while building tablet application Research about users
Interviews, market research Modeling of users
Personas Goals Scenarios
Prototypes
Plan for course Building application Testing and evaluation of software
(time permitting) Heuristic Evaluation Usability testing
Pen based computing Long history of pen based devices Hardware advances for Tablet PC
Wireless, digitizers, fast processors Tablet PC OS
Microsoft extension of Windows XP Tablet PC
Build by hardware manufacturers, but must meet MS spec
Tablet PC Form factor
Tablet vs. laptop Pen Input
Mobility High quality inking
Digitizer Software
Handwriting recognition
Projects
Choose project from the following list
Projects which will take some advantage of the Tablet PC
Projects with users for design work Start with scoped project since
we’ve only got 10 weeks
Assignment process
Fill out questionnaire on Thursday Instructors will assign groups We may have multiple groups
doing the same project

2-D Keyframe Animation Project
In keyframe animation, you draw the several frames and then a program fills in the details in between. For this project build a tablet based keyframe animation system so users can more easily sketch the keyframes and also specify correspondence between keyframes.
From: CadTutor – Keyframe Animation, http://www.cadtutor.net/dd/bryce/anim/anim.html
Keyframe Animation project Target Users could include:
Professional animators, student animators
Maneesh Agrawala from MSR/CSE will be assisting with this project.
Calendars on a TabletScheduling appointments seems like a
natural match for pen based input. You write down dates and times and the application interprets your actions (or maybe just saves the ink). For this project there are a couple of different directions the group could go:
A tablet interface to the online room and visitor scheduling system used by the CSE department. Target users could include: department course
coordinators, staff that schedule visitors
Calendars on a Tablet
A tablet interface for a personal calendar system (possibly integrated with Outlook or an open source system) Target users could include:
Department advising staff, faculty
Pen based map navigation for games
Many games involve maps in some way. From setting up pieces on a map or play that involves moving items around on maps (Risk, Rail Tycoon, Civilizations). For this project the group will design a pen based map navigation system for a game.
Important Note – This project will NOT focus on game design, rather on developing a pen based interface to an existing game.
•Target Users – Gamers

Tablet PC based grading system for 142/143
Paperless grading TAs mark up homework with ink On-line grading has not worked
well in 14x Difficulty of entering comments TA’s hate grading at the desktop
Tutoring application Scenario Tutor a UW working with student in a
local high school Telephone connection for audio Internet connection for shared
whiteboard Tutor and student have tablet PCs Domain – Math / Engineering /
