I, the device: observing human aversion from an HCI perspective
Pages 261 - 270
Abstract
We describe our experience in designing a system that would render a human operators job obsolete. In the course of a three year research project, we devised a 3D interactive system for the automotive design industry. Currently, automotive designers demonstrate prototype designs with the help of a showroom operator. With the addition of a new input device, the operator is no longer required; thus, this device which generated concern and opposition from the operator. In this report, we discuss how an awareness of user aversion toward new HCI developments can benefit practitioners by helping them to understand users and thereby enable design improvements.
