Affordances: Clarifying and Evolving a Concept

J. McGrenere
Computer Science
2000

We show that Donald Norman appropriated the concept of affordances from James J. Gibson for the design of common objects and both implicitly and explicitly adjusted the meaning given by Gibson. Expand

A comparison of static, adaptive, and adaptable menus

Leah Findlater, J. McGrenere
Computer Science
CHI '04
25 April 2004

We compared the performance (speed and error rate) of three menu designs: static, adaptive, and adaptable. Expand

Ephemeral adaptation: the use of gradual onset to improve menu selection performance

Leah Findlater, K. Moffatt, J. McGrenere, Jessica Q. Dawson
Computer Science
CHI
4 April 2009

We introduce ephemeral adaptation, a new adaptive GUI technique that improves performance by reducing visual search time while maintaining spatial consistency. Expand

An evaluation of a multiple interface design solution for bloated software

J. McGrenere, R. Baecker, K. Booth
Computer Science
CHI
20 April 2002

This study examines a novel interface design that addresses the problem of featurism in productivity applications that are used by a diversity of users. Expand

How Older Adults Learn to Use Mobile Devices: Survey and Field Investigations

Rock Leung, Charlotte Tang, Shathel Haddad, J. McGrenere, P. Graf, Vilia Ingriany
Psychology, Computer Science
TACC
1 December 2012

We study how older adults learn to use mobile devices, their preferences and barriers, in order to find new ways to support them in their learning process. Expand

Impact of screen size on performance, awareness, and user satisfaction with adaptive graphical user interfaces

Leah Findlater, J. McGrenere
Computer Science
CHI
6 April 2008

Adaptive personalization, where the system adapts the interface to a user's needs, has an even larger positive impact on performance and satisfaction when screen real estate is constrained. Expand

Are We All In the Same "Bloat"?

J. McGrenere, G. Moore
Computer Science
Graphics Interface
2000

“Bloat”, a term that has existed in the technical community for many years, has recently received attention in the popular press. Expand

What role can adaptive support play in an adaptable system?

A. Bunt, C. Conati, J. McGrenere
Computer Science
IUI '04
13 January 2004

We examine what it means for users to engage in effective customization of a menu-based graphical user interface using a process model simulation based on cognitive modelling that generates quantitative predictions of user performance. Expand
