Lunch Break —- Watch Historical HCIL Videos

To celebrate the completion of the Historical CHI Video Project we will watch early CHI videos recorded at HCIL in the 1990’s (while eating lunch if you wish). We selected videos reflecting HCIL’s earliest research themes such as hypertext, touchscreen interaction or dynamic queries. Catherine Plaisant and Ben Shneiderman will introduce the videos and comment on the impact of HCIL’s work on today’s technology.
If you prefer to watch the selected videos on your own: use those SLIDES
