The article discusses the research on tabletops at Stanford University in California, focusing on how tabletop user interfaces may respond to and influence a user group's social dynamics. The researchers offer an overview of four projects including the Multi-User Coordination Policies, cooperative gesturing, educational tabletop interfaces, and Shared Interfaces for Developing Effective Social Skills. Researchers found that offering users with the ability to dynamically change document accessibility on a tabletop can help shared document inspection and alteration, while also allowing users to protect their data from tendencies of users to interact with other group members's content on

This year, the 15th International Symposium on Wearable Computers was held in San Francisco, California. ISWC is the premier conference in wearable computing and promises to be a window into the future of computing. The technical program emphasized wearable context and activity recognition, research using cell phones, challenges of human-computer interaction using wearables, novel sensing modalities, electronic textiles, and wearable applications.

The article describes the research work of Louis-Philippe Morency, a research scientist at University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies in California. Morency's research focuses on what he calls "multimodal perception" or the combination of various communication channels like spoken words, intonation and visual gestures, which allow computers to recognize, understand and respond to people's nonverbal behaviors. Morency's vision for the future of artificial intelligence is to see computer interfaces efficiently reacting to its users, enabling a more efficient and engaging interaction between robots and people.

Focuses on the trends in intelligent systems in Los Angeles, California. Emergence of human-computer interaction; Development of various computer interface; Use of artificial intelligence techniques for sketch-based user interface.
