V appreciate vs. understanding the limitations of human usability
* understand the full implications of
V languages other than Java?
* javascript
* probably not flash
V Design Notebook : can it be digital?
* Yes, but I don't recommend it. It's too hard to jot something down on the fly
* This isn't the source of the world's paper waste - try bringing a mug to Starbucks
* You will have to turn it in - so make sure you can be away from it for a week.
* Not a weekly turn in, maybe two or three times this quarter.
* One entry per week (at least)
V How much interaction is required?
* Enough that you notice it
V I can't use the smart classroom computer b/c it's windows
* Yes my keyboard broke and I use a Mac
* Yes your display resolution messes up because you use Windows
* 15-minute breaks are approximate
V "Will we be learning how to develop interfaces only for Android"?
* No, but that's the only mobile platform
* Most mobile platform simulators enable touch, motion and movement simulation
* Quiz times and content will be put on the syllabus as it's available
V Is the participation grade affected by comment quality?
* Generally no.
V You don't need to bring the textbook to class for my sake.

* I usually find the videos on my own, but I don't search for them specifically.
* LUCI interface is for the LUCI lab website
V Ear and software usability
* The ipod shuffle is 100% touch and ear. Knowing how the ear responds to stimulus is just as important to that interaction as knowing what colors look good on a website.
V More on psychophysical compression and perceptual modeling
V Perception-based lossy haptic compression considerations for velocity-based interactions
V MP3 AND AAC EXPLAINED
* Forget stop lights, Red and Green Shells in Mario Kart are hard to distinguish
