# English terms/idioms in HCI paper

- **scaffold**

  - Our system **scaffolds** novice users by providing contextual hints during the design process.
  - We **scaffold** creative exploration by constraining the design space in early stages.

- leverage

  - We **leverage** users’ existing mental models to reduce the learning curve of the interface.
  - The system **leverages** social signals, such as gaze and body orientation, to enable implicit interactions.

* constructive feedback

- To discover what **constitues** misuse,
- We **surface** why artists defy norms
- **normativity**
  - **[normative ground](/normative_ground)**

* **one-size-fits-all**
* **overwelming** users
* beginner-friendly UI
* UI cannot be stripped down overly
* creative professionals demand **"high ceiling"** in design.
* She's adept at invoking dozens of command lines
* There's no **reproducibility**

- criteria, design principles, design patterns
- **empirical** studies to better understand interaction
- In a **preliminary** study, we identified three key problems with current tools.
- **ideation**
  - enhance an ongoing collaborative **ideation sessions**
- this is one of the **byproducts**
- it's an **oversimplification**
- provide **qualitative** and **quantitave** ways to compare interaction techniques
- In a **preliminary study** (six graphic designers, six non-designers)

* power gradient
* anti-patterns for
* methodology

### GUI Research

- **object of interest** - the central to direct manipulationt

- **Screen real-estate**

  - These use increasing amount of **screen real-estate**
  - Spatial activation requres the instrument to be visible on the screen, **taking up screen real-estate**

- design space

  - デザインの可能性空間
  - A large design space lies between a single mouse and hundreds of potentiometers

- [reification](/reification): 物象化
  - マルクス主義の言葉だが、GUI研究においては、抽象的なアクション、コマンドを操作可能なオブジェクトとしてUI上に受肉させること

- give a sense of **casuality** 因果関係を感じさせる

- The interactive evolutionary computation (IEC), i.e., an evolutionary computation **whose fitness function is provided by users**, has been applied to aesthetic areas, such as art, design and music.
