POPSVisual Clutter Detection Rosenholtz next plans to offer this visual clutter tool, as well as other tools developed in her lab, to designers as part of a user study. She hopes to learn what insights designers get from knowledge of how a user will likely perceive their designs, and how best to present this information to the designers. Rosenholtz provides free software written in MATLAB to anyone interested in generating color and contrast "clutter maps" to gauge the clutter level of a display. The tool is available at hdl.handle.net/1721.1/37593 . This work was supported by the Office of Naval Research and by the National Science Foundation.

POPSEye-Tracking Device Lets Billboards Know When You Look at Them to the office colleague who might wait in your doorway to establish eye contact before interrupting. "Eye contact is used to negotiate attention, and it’s fascinating how it works in humans," Vertegaal says. "We can have technology do the same thing." A phone on vibrate-mode already does something similar, but I love the dream.

POPSPythagora Switch: Intelligent Contraptions PythagoraSwitch (ピタゴラスイッチ, Pitagora Suitchi) is a Japanese educational television program... The Rube Goldberg devices that appear during the beginning, ending, and between each corner (segment) are called Pythagorean Device (ピタゴラ装置, Pitagora Sōchi). The main focus of the program is a puppet show, but the subject is mainly advanced by the small corners . World phenomena, principles, characteristics, and the like are introduced in an entertaining way... Often Switch (スイッチ, Suitchi) and Mechanism (しくみ, Shikumi) appear on the show to... form new interests and new information. The flags that show up at the end of each device-cycle can be annoying, especially if you don't understand what's written. However, the machines are well-crafted and very entertaining.
