“…There have only been two studies to date on this matter, the first by Lalomia [11], suggested that adults needed recognition accuracy in the region of 97%, a later study by Read [12] hinted that children would accept lower rates than adults and a 90% recognition rate might be enough.…”

This paper describes Jabberwocky, a digital ink based story writing and reading application for children. Created following an immersive design experience, the Jabberwocky interface, and its underlying algorithms, are motivated and described in the paper.Jabberwocky is novel on several counts; it provides a humorous and fun filled interface to shield users from the ambiguity of its underlying recognition based systems, it allows for the setting of user parameters to respect the different tolerance levels of children, and it features a 'won't work for you' interface to protect children who are not yet able to gain advantage from its use.

“…[15][16][17] Another important feature is human/machine interaction, how the crew is able to interact with the computer interface, such as via speech or handwriting recognition, in an efficient and hopefully entertaining manner in order to increase and maintain safety. [18][19][20][21] The second interacting block is that of external stability issues. Important features of this block include the idea that a system can be completely closed to neither energy exchange nor information exchange.…”

In order to pursue space colonization, long duration spaceflight, and human missions to Mars, we will need closed ecological life support systems which provide sustainable use of limited resources. While such systems are in various stages of development, we lack knowledge regarding the functional stability of closed ecological life support systems (CES) for long-duration space missions. Our global Earth Biosphere CES functioning is based upon statistical regulations, which are provided by planetary buffers. All current deviations caused by human activity are currently absorbed by these 'planetary buffers'. Man-made Closed Ecosystems function at the limits of their natural stability due to insufficient buffer capacities and thus needs to be replaced or supplemented by other more appropriate control approaches. Previous research has indicated that purposeful control from human can increase stability levels if specific algorithms compatible to natural mechanisms are applied. Theoretical analysis is being done on data obtained in different Closed Ecosystems and has been shown that certain limits of functional stability exist for each specific system in terms of average material cycle rate and range of fluctuations. These limits are determined by: the system's buffer capacities, the slowest (basic) material cycle in the system, natural structure of the circulating chemical elements cycles and Human Factors material load. Numerical estimates are provided for carbon cycles and it has been shown that stability of cycles in man-made ecosystems are more than a thousand times less than for global planetary cycles. Human Control could increase this low level of stability tremendously, but requires a certain level of understanding for closed material cycles development inside each specific system. This presentation will primarily discuss interactions between smallscale human crews and the available limited resources required for a CES functioning. Since there are limited resources in a CES, instead of continuously increasing consumption as would be possible in an unlimited environment, self-sustainable behaviors/activities must be practiced. This paper will address the limitations for human adaptation in a space environment and how to optimize human and environment interaction in a CES. Applications to manned space exploration will be considered in the context of understanding human motivation.

“…(i) Natural interaction: Everyday objects can serve as the ''interfaces'' to computing environments. While speech and pen-based computing have sought to provide natural interfaces to computers, there remain problems in their use and application (Noyes, 2001). An underlying assumption of ubiquitous computing is that the interaction between person and computer could be viewed as essentially a by-product of other activity.…”

In this paper, human interaction with embedded or ubiquitous technology is considered. The techniques focus on the use of what might be termed "everyday" objects and actions as a means of controlling (or otherwise interacting with) technology. While this paper is not intended to be an exhaustive review, it does present a view of the immediate future of human-computer interaction (HCI) in which users move beyond the desktop to where interacting with technology becomes merged with other activity. At one level this places HCI in the context of other forms of personal and domestic technologies. At another level, this raises questions as to how people will interact with technologies of the future. Until now, HCI had often relied on people learning obscure command sets or learning to recognise words and objects on their computer screen. The most significant advance in HCI (the invention of the WIMP interface) is already some 40 years old. Thus, the future of HCI might be one in which people are encouraged (or at least allowed) to employ the skills that they have developed during their lives in order to interact with technology, rather than being forced to learn and perfect new skills.
