Interruption Study home page
for more information about our work in creating systems that can
estimate human interruptibility using sensors.
This work shows how it may be possible for systems to determine
that "now is a bad time" -- allowing them to act in more
appropriate ways. Preliminary results provide estimates even better
than the judgments made by people.

Visit the subArctic home
page for the latest on our Java-based UI toolkit (available free).
SubArctic offers a number of advanced features not found in most other toolkits
including: high level support for animation, snapping and drag & drop
interactions, built in lens support, new techniques for interactive debugging,
dynamic style support, and extensibility at all levels.
Research Interests
Scott's research interests lie in the areas of user interface software and
the use of new media and modalities for interaction. In the area of
user interface software he is interested in creating tools and software
infrastructure which make it possible to produce high quality user
interfaces quickly and economically. This work includes the creation
of innovative new interaction techniques for 2D and 3D interaction,
development of advanced user interface toolkits, work in the use of
constraint systems for user interface implementation, and higher level
user interface specification tools.
He is also interested in using new media (such and audio and video) and
new interaction modalities (such as pen-based interaction) to create
new ways in which people can interact with computers. In this area he is
currently working on new techniques for hybrid paper electronic
interfaces. This work attempts to expand the usefulness of physical
paper as an interaction medium by adding electronic capabilities to it
such as searching, hyperlinking, and dynamic content. Finally, he is
also working on new techniques for using audio and video communications
to support awareness in distributed work groups.
