At the human-computer interface
Professor Ben Shneiderman pioneered user interface design, and now he’s focusing on making university research as useful as possible
Published 28 February 2018
In 1980, Ben Shneiderman published one of the first texts in the field that would come to be known as human-computer interaction, and has since pioneered innovations we take for granted today, like touchscreens and hyperlinks.
He has now turned his attention to maximising the real world impact of university research, by combining applied and basic research; a topic he explores in his new book The New ABCs of Research.
