18. Presentations

19. 1. How did humans interact with computers between 1940
and 1970? Were there computers anyway?
⁄ Dani & Florian
⁄ Results: Binary; Transistors & ICs; there was always a keyboard!;
we had no GUI before 1970
2. How could one interact via a command line interface?
Disadvantages? Advantages?
⁄ Fan
⁄ Results: You need to control technology!; a CLI can be faster/ more
efficient; you need to speak the language

20. 3. Who invented the mouse? How did ancient mice look like?
⁄ Laura & Felix
⁄ Results: Technology is always invented for military purposes; there
was no need for the (existing) mouse for quite some time; it was
developed for zero gravity
5. Are there alternatives to the mouse?
⁄ Joel
⁄ Results: The trackball has the highest market share among the rest of
pointing devices; speech control works only in silence; brain mouse
might be the future!

21. 5. Present the iPhone. What is special concerning HCI?
⁄ Liesa
⁄ Results: Sometimes, using fingers is less efficient; 2 fingers is the
innovation; there is only one hardware interface element left
7. Present Bill Buxton’s overview of multi-touch.
