  1. Human Interfacewhere the bits meet the fleshbits meets eyes and ears Think beyond the box Tom Zimmerman IBM Almaden Research Center San Jose, California tzim@almaden.ibm.com October 2007

  2. Research Theme • Transducers; Converting one thing into another • User Interface, User Experience, First Person • Hooking people to gadgets • Bits Meet the Flesh • Bits Meet Eyes & Ears • Transducer Examples • Dance into Music (dance synthesizer, suction cup) • Hand into Finger Spelling (DataGlove) • Sound into Light (Singing Coach)

  3. Fantasy & Necessity Are the Mothers of Invention VR Data Glove Personal Area Network Honda Smart Seat Violin Home Health Monitoring Contact Microscope

  4. Discrete Events Converting continuous input into discrete events. Continuous input examples brightness, sound level, pressure Discrete output; 0/1, off/on, mouse click

  5. Comparator- Ideal Signal Sensor + _ Digital Output Threshold Threshold SensorContinuous Input Quantized Digitized Output

  6. Comparator- Real World SignalNoise in input causes output jitter threshold cross high for on cross low for off

  7. Triggering Discrete Events with Hysteresis Hysteresis, “play” High threshold Low threshold Continuous Input (e.g. brightness, sound level, pressure) Quantized/Digitized Output cross high for on cross low for off

  26. Pen Input

  27. Pen That Remembers Everything You Write (IBM 2000-2002) Premiere UI unobtrusive, low cognitive load, small, portable, quick, cheap Modeless text, graphics, doodle comment on document direct manipulation Universal any language popular input method classic form factor BUT hard to index, search, archive, distribute

  28. Other Pen Systems PDA; writing on plastic LCD; writing on glass Tablet; invisible writing CrossPad; writing on 2 lbs.

  29. Toy Pens

  30. Pen Research (IBM 2002) IRDA Ink CPU and Flash Memory Battery (AAA) CMOS Imager Lens Normal or dot code paper Ultrasonic Optical

  31. Electric Field Pen (IBM 1997)

  32. Dynamic Signature Verification“Sign and Go” (2003) • Biometric verification using handwriting cadence (timing) • A means to electronically verify customer signatures • Customer signs on a digital signature capture station • Software checks signature against reference signatures and checks for major changes in signature

  33. Biometrics

  34. Classification of Biometrics • Physical Feature • Iris, face, finger, hand, DNA • Can alter presentation • Behavior Trait • Signature, voice, gait, keystroke • Can change behavior

  35. Identification & Verification • Identification • “Who am I?” • 1:N matching (difficult, big search) • Example: 100k customers @ 0.1% error = 100 errors • Use: Discover identity, Watch lists • Verification • “Am I who I claim to be?” • 1:1 matching (easier) • Requires identifier (not secure but unique) • token (loyalty card) • memory (phone number) • Use: Verify identity

  36. Performance Metrics • False Accepts (FA) • likelihood that someone may be falsely accepted bad guy gets in • False Rejects (FR) • likelihood that a genuine user may be rejected good guy gets rejected • Lower the FA and FR, the better the system performance • Acceptance threshold trade-off FA to FR • Equal Error Rate when FA=FR • Failure to enroll, Failure to acquire • Light eyes (iris), thin skin (finger), simple/changing signature, noisy environment (voice) • Need backup/alternative • Example FA=2% FR=1% • 2 out of 100 good customers get rejected • 1 out of 100 bad guy attempts get in • If 1 in 1000 customers are bad guys, 1 forgery per 100,000 transactions

  37. Biometric Comparison * Equal Error Rate estimates for relative comparison only. Actual results are highly dependent on system design, equipment, user population and experience.

  38. Tangible Programming

  39. Bar code Instruction Usage Definition Example code Logo Cards 35mm slide holder

  40. Students Programming With LOGO Playing Cards

  41. Queuing and Scanning Programs into Computer

  42. Programming Robots with Playing Cards The Robosapian™ robot comes with a remote control to program robot movements. The remote control is replaced with a deck of instruction cards and bar code reader. Students choreograph movements by arranging the cards, then program the robot by scanning the cards with the bar code reader.
