User interface history

User Interfaces have been around as long as computers have existed, even well before the field of HumanComputer Interaction was established. Over the years, some papers on the history of Human-Computer Interaction and User Interfaces have appeared, primarily focusing on the graphical interface era and early visionaries such as Bush, Engelbart and Kay. With the User Interface being a decisive factor in the proliferation of computers in society and since it has become a cultural phenomenon, it is time to paint a more comprehensive picture of its history. This SIG will investigate the possibilities of launching a concerted effort towards creating a History of User Interfaces. Keywords User Interface History, HCI History, Interaction Technology History. ACM Classification Keywords H 5.2 User Interfaces; K.2 History of Computing ? Software.
