Vaughan Pratt Stanford Computer Science Dept.HWI: Human-Wearable Interaction
April 14, 2000
Human interaction with desktop computers has come far and
still has far to go. Interacting with today's tiny wearable
computers is qualitatively harder. This talk describes the 4
cu.in. Matchbox PC and examines the challenges and options for
convenient and efficient user interaction with so small a computer.

Vaughan
Pratt teaches computer science at Stanford University.
His Ph.D. thesis at Stanford University under D. Knuth was on
Shellsort and Sorting Networks. He taught at MIT from 1972 to
1980, working in natural language, algorithms, complexity theory,
and logics of programs. In 1980 he joined Stanford's Sun workstation
project, subsequently managing it until the formation of Sun
Microsystems in 1982, for whom he designed several software packages
as well as the Sun logo. His current interests are wearable
computing, speech processing,
concurrency theory,
and Chu spaces.
