Introduction to Advanced User Interface Technologies
Join this discussion on modern electronic input interfaces in analog and digital realms, including digital open state conditioning (pull-ups and pull-downs), matrix and multiplexing, scanning technologies, linear joystick, mouse, and an overview of touch. We will also touch on modern high volume display and indicator technologies.

Advanced User Interface Technologies: A Deeper Look at Touch
Touch technologies are the fastest growing technology in modern devices. Anything that has a display had better have some form of touch, and several flavors exist. This Day of the course looks at different touch technologies, how they work, and what is needed to interface to them.

Advanced User Interface Technologies: Streaming Signal Interfaces
Real time acquisition and processing of data opens the door to usable speech technology as well as camera based 3-D gesture detection. Speech can be speaker dependent (as in security applications), or speaker independent as in general command interfacing. 3-D gestures can direct operations, especially in the next generation of wearable computers.

Advanced User Interface Technologies: Presenting Information
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then video is worth 1,000 pictures if the video is clear and usable. Handhelds as well as desktop use 2-D displays, but is that changing? ToDay, we will examine projection systems, virtual image technology, and the emergence of holographic display systems.

Advanced User Interface Technologies: Futures and Bio Mechanoids
Science fiction comes true more than any other type of fiction and science fiction has been warning us as to what we can become if we don't take precautionary steps to guard our humanity. In this last class Day, we will discuss VR, implants, neural interfaces, and the constant connectivity we are already beginning to embrace.
