Summary Hypothesis/Contents The research was trying to find t o what extent users can interact spatially with a user interface that exists only in their imagination. Furthermore for the three different user studies he hypothesized the following things. 1) Mistakes performed by participants would be fewer than what has been previously reported. 2) Intermitted actions affect visual memory and thus reduce accuracy. 3) As the distance between the index finger and thumb grew,e rror would grow in pointing to the correct point. Methods Three different user studies that involved creating simple drawings, annotating existing drawings and pointing at spaces denoted in imaginary spaces were used to test the hypothesis. The users were asked to draw various graffiti, draw and return to find the same p...

Reference "On Plants" from the Complete Works of Aristotle Edited by Jonathan Barnes who was an English philosopher, historian and translator of ancient philosophy.~wikipedia Summary Aristotle involves in the general discussion on whether plants should be considered to have soul.

Email: sarinregmi@gmail.com 4th year Senior Computer Engineering HCI has been a fascinating subject for me since I started college. I want to know the modern day advancements happening in this field and at the same time have some hands on experience as well. I have been involved in HCI projects like Mechanix and Haptigo with the SRL lab. In 10 years time , I will probably be sitting somewhere besides the ocean or the mountains and thinking about new ideas and how they can change lives of ordinary people and have my manpower implement them. The next biggest technological advancement on Computer Science will be artificial intelligence integration in mobile computing.
