Research and list some of the perceived limitations or weaknesses of your chosen GUI. Present your results in the form of an article (Word document with illustrations such as screen captures) or as a PowerPo int presentation with similar graphical content. ( 200 - 500 words) 2. Customize and Adapt the Windows Interface Explore the Display, Mouse, Keyboard and Accessibility Options settings in your Windows operating system, or equivalent settings as available in an alternative GUI operati ng system (OS).

Describe a Specialized Gaming Interface There are many ways in which the gaming experience attempts to interact realistically with the player. One such application is real time voice communication among multiple players. Another is physical feedback such as a vibrating control handle, moving sea t or similar feedback relating to the events in the game. VR helmets, gloves, motion and pressure sensing devices etc . are some hardware resources available for the creating of gaming interfaces. Select a specialized system for HCI and research it. Describe and document the system, and create a brief illustrated article describing it. ( 200 - 500 words) 4. Evaluate a VR Interface – Google Earth Download and install Google Earth and explore the interface options and features, including Search options, Layers, Places (bookmarks), View Options, Tools and Add - ins (Tours, Photos, etc.). - Test the navigati on tools in a variety of layers, both 2D and 3D, and evaluate them for ease of use, reliability, and controllability. - Document any problems or glitches you encounter (for example, on some systems, 3D views such as building representations and terrain may “ fracture” images when navigation movements are made, leaving sections of building hanging in the sky). Use screen and/or video capture software to save images from your explorations. Present your findings in the form of a PowerPoint presentation that gives users a “tour” of the Google earth application, listing and describing the key features above and evaluating the performance of the interface on your system .
