No-UI: How to Build Transparent Interaction
June 10, 2017In this article for the Interaction Design Foundation, I explore the concept of Non-visual User Interaction and what it means for designers of digital products and services.
Usability Evaluation Methods - an introduction [Greek]
June 1, 2017I presented a short lecture on usability evaluation methods at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (School of Informatics).
Obviously it's impossible to cover everything in a short lecture, so the talk focused on the origins of UEM, the concept of UX, the need for multidisciplinarity and combinatory approaches to using UEM and an example from my latest (yet unpublished work).
The slides are available here as an attachment [in Greek].

New publication: Adding mid-air gestures to help editing on smartwatch text entry
May 25, 2017
Text entry has been shown to have reasonable performance on smart watches but space is very tight and editing has been shown to be a major factor slowing down text entry on many devices. In this position paper we propose use of mid-air gestures to control editing functions so that screen estate and touch gestures can be focused on text entry.
