Useful HCI/UX links
Using Leap Motion for touchless navigation in a web browser
In the context of Bachelor Thesis at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, a student Miloš Vukov has developed a Chrome extension for Leap Motion. In this diploma thesis, a Chrome browser extension for touch-less navigation in a web browser was developed. The ready-made extension uses the Leap Motion sensor and enables internet browsing by navigating through the links and moving along the tabs with the help of gestures.
The results of thesis are available on-line:

UX: does it pay off?
Context-awareness: one of 2013’s top trends
In a recent UX magazine article context-awareness was listed as one of the top UX trends in 2013. Yes, the same context-awareness known from HCI literature since the early 90s (the term was first used by Schilit et al. in 1994 to be precise). So it took nearly 20 years for context-awareness to find its way from labs to real life – another confirmation of what Bill Buxton calls the long nose of innovation. Other examples are the mouse and multitouch displays, which took approximately 30 and 20 years to reach mainstream respectively.
