Degrowth is an unserious proposition.

This @acmtochi paper by Hertzum and @khornbaek just keeps giving.
It reports why people are frustrated when using their computers. A gold mine of tables and quotations.
Handy when writing up the motivation of a CHI paper

What's science saying on the UI of the @Apple's new HMD? In 2021-22 we studied the techniques of Gaze+Pinch (#VisionPro) vs Handray (#HoloLens #MetaQuest).
Result: Gaze+Pinch is faster & less physical effort if targets fit the eyetracker accuracy. More details & papers below.
