Talks
Façade - An Interactive Drama
Held in the proseminar "Human Computer Interaction" on June 25, 2009
A 30 minute talk I held in the proseminar “Human Computer Interaction” on Façade, a framework for writing interactive dramas. The design of the slides is largely influenced by Garr Reynolds’ book “Presentation Zen”. I tried to incorporate his suggestions and the feedback was really good. At the same time this means the talk cannot be reconstructed from the slides (as most of what I said is not on them). I will upload them anyhow and think about annotating slides in future.
Gesture Recognition using Accumulated Optic Flow Fields
Held at the Mathmatical Image Analysis Chair on May 29, 2009
This is a talk in which I present aims and ideas for my Bachelor thesis to the members of the Mathmatical Image Analysis Chair. It gives a rough outlook on my plans without supplying too much detail on the techniques that I will use. In combination with the literature cited, one should be able to understand the method proposed.
The Aesthetic-Usability Effect
Held in the proseminar "Human Computer Interaction" on Mai 14, 2009
A short talk (5 min.) on the so called Aesthetic-Usability effect: More aesthetic user interfaces, devices et cetera appear to be more usable than their less-aesthetic equivalents.
Visual Working Memory
Held in the seminar "Arbeitsgedächtnis als begrenzte Ressource" on Mai 12, 2009
A talk I held in the seminar “Arbeitsgedächtnis als begrenzte Ressource” (Working Memory as a limited ressource) at Saarland University. It is heavily based on three pubication by Luck,Vogel(1997), Vogel, Woodmann, Luck (2001) and Xu, Chun (2006) and focusses on the derivation of a capacity limit of Visual Working Memory with both Behavioral and Neuroscientific approaches.
Fitts' Law
Held in the proseminar "Human Computer Interaction" on April 30, 2009
This is a short talk (3 min.) that I held in the pro seminar “Human Computer Interaction” at Saarland University. It was meant to give a quick introduction to Fitts’ Law, as it is useful in designing user interfaces.
