> MANHASSET, N.Y. — Microsoft Research scientists, in cooperation with University
of Maryland researchers, have designed two interfaces to support easier use of PDAs
and cellphones.
>
> The interfaces allow users to operate the devices using a thumb on one hand. The
interfaces target screens from 2 to 5 inches, measured diagonally, with resolutions
ranging from 176 x 220 to 800 x 600 pixels.
>
> The researchers detailed the two different interface approaches in a technical
paper delivered at this week's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
in Portland, Ore.
>
> The AppLens interface uses a tabular fish-eye approach to provide integrated
access to and notification for nine applications. The second, called LaunchTile, uses
pure zooming within a landscape of 36 applications to accomplish the same goals.
>
> In their paper, the researchers detailed thumb-as-stylus designs that allow users
to operate hand-held devices using only one hand. Although existing stylus-based
gesture systems do not preclude the use of the thumb, no systems have been
specifically designed to be operated using the thumb, according to the researchers.
>
> Microsoft Research is making a big splash at the 2005 ACM SIGCHI Conference with
more than 30 researchers from the company's Beijing, Cambridge, U.K. and
Redmond, Wash., labs delivering 22 papers, or 10 percent of the papers accepted.
Microsoft's focus is information visualization, and the papers are the result of
collaboration with more than 16 universities and several corporations.

> "Information visualization is a hot topic today because computer system and
graphics capabilities have reached a point where the visual representation of
information can come to life," said George Robertson, senior researcher at Microsoft
Research.

>
> Microsoft Research employs more than 700 engineers at six labs in Redmond,
Cambridge and Beijing along with labs in California and Bangalore, India.

Don’t you just dig the intense irony that the fruits of Samsung’s and Bang & Olufsen’s getting together on a
fashionphone rendered quite possibly the most busted looking piece of consumer electronics in recent memory?
Mean, c’mon, it is B&O, it’s not like we were expecting design to counter The Toy in White or anything, but still,
you you bust out a Samsung SGH-E910, we have a feeling you’re going to seriously get made fun of even by your
metro bros. Especially when they find out the thing only has a two hour talk time, and VGA camera—though it
does try to make up for that with a 2.1-inch QVGA display and Bluetooth.
