Abstract:

Almost every day we are forced to interact with devices of some kind or 
other in order to heat our homes, cook our dinner, travel to work or do our 
jobs.  It is therefore more important than ever that we understand the 
factors that influence how well we can complete our tasks using these 
devices.  In most of these situations, we don't have immediate access to a 
manual to tell us what to do. I shall describe some experimental and 
modeling work that has investigated what we do and what we learn when 
exploring interactive devices.
