Enlightened trial and error — prototyping — is the pivotal activity that structures design innovation, collaboration, and creativity. My group’s research seeks to enable a broader community of users to design interactive systems, and to enable expert designers to iterate more quickly and effectively. To accomplish this, we have introduced — and are actively researching — techniques for users to demonstrate interactive behavior, sample existing design elements to create new ones, and more tightly integrate the creation and evaluation aspects of design. We explore these issues on mobile, desktop, and web platforms; and are particularly excited about designing pervasive interactions that integrate our physical and digital environments.

125 words   Scott Klemmer is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, where he co-directs the Human-Computer Interaction Group. He collaborates with Stanford's Institute of Design, and serves on the steering committee of the Symbolic Systems program. He received a dual BA in Art-Semiotics and Computer Science from Brown University, and an MS and PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Several of his (along with many colleagues) research systems have had commercial impact: his speech design tool has been used and extended by dozens of companies; a system for vision-based capture of walls inspired current commercial product features; and the handheld augmentation of books fueled advanced development in industry. He is a co-recipient of the UIST 2006 and CHI 2007 Best Paper Awards, 2006 Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship, and 2008 Sloan Fellowship.
