The text of this book

I was reading a story to my daughter this evening and noticed that within the copyright information inside the front cover, the author has chosen to include information about the typeface used. I wish all books had this information.

If you’re interested, the book is Gossie by Olivier Dunrea and it’s a wonderful book.

The Eyes Have It (NUCHI Meeting - Thurs, June 26)

NUCHI will be holding a demo and discussion of the TOBII eye tracking system. Eye tracking systems are used in larger usability studies. This is a rare opportunity!

More info on eye tracking research can be found here: http://www.useit.com/eyetracking/

———————————————–

Here is the info from NUCHI:

What is NUCHI?
The Northern Utah chapter of the Association of Computing Machinery’s (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI). *Yes, it’s a mouthful!*

Time & Location
7:00pm Thursday, June 26, 2008 at NextPage, 13997 S. Minuteman Drive, Draper. (map)

Topic
See a demonstration of a TOBII eye tracking system used in software usability analysis. Join in a discussion of what this technology can find that other methods can’t.

Also, see a new application of the Microsoft Ribbon technology and how it is being applied to navigate complex clinical software. This software is being developed with Microsoft Expressions Blend and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This process is intended to let designers build the software interface and interaction and pass it directly to developers.

Carl Bechtold is an Intermountain Healthcare Human Factors Engineer on loan to the GE/Intermountain partnership. That partnership is developing an Enterprise Clinical Information System (ECIS) for Intermountain and commercial deployment through GE Healhtcare.
