Abstract
This paper presents a low-cost website usability testing tool that records user’s mouse movement when performing search query on a web page. After a given time-out the web page is blurred and only some region around the mouse cursor remains transparent. The tool can be regarded as an automated version of the conventional squint test and can be used for the validation of the website design from the perspective of user cognitive load.

Abstract
This paper presents a demo application for exploring the viability of using eye-gaze data for implicit human computer interaction in the context of photo collection management. The application takes advantage of eye-gaze data to augment interaction with photo collections and aid photowork tasks such as browsing, selecting and searching. It builds on the premise that the time a user spends viewing a photo is correlated with the user’s personal affinity for that photo.

Abstract
The innovative shaping of human-machine-interfaces includes technological implications for consumer behaviour and could result in significant paradigm changes for the way computers are used for business, for private and for learning purposes. If we use trends in the entertainment industry (e.g. Wii or Kinect) as an indicator for a new need for physicality in interaction with digital media, we can determine the potential of this physicality for learning and creativity. In this paper the theoretical assumptions and practical implications of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for learning issues are discussed. For that we propose a new input device named STID that takes haptic skills of human body into account.

Abstract
This paper presents our designed three dimensional (3D) natural interaction navigation system using Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) CHR-6dm with ZigBee wireless technology for broader interactive coverage range usage. Related sensor interface software and sensor data observation are presented. Furthermore, local machine platform realization for Google Earth (GE) 3D navigation using movement of human beings is illustrated. In the end, global heritage navigation effect using this developed 3D gesture navigation system is shown.

Abstract
In this paper we present an evaluation of Kinect Kiosk user experience. We have created an example of evaluation system where users can decide which parameter values of the user interface are suitable for them. Our example shows how we can collect user feedback in form of voting system to adapt the user interface for average user. Such setup also al- lows user profiles that can store the information of user inter- face preferences for an individual user. The presented evaluation of touchless interfaces is novel and shows how user interface designers as well as user experience designers can create better user interfaces by using presented evaluation.
