Printing posters 3 ft x 4 ft is such a pain even though CMU SCS has attempted to make it easy. I seriously believe that there could be a better interaction (and interface) for printing. <\/p>\n
Perhaps, the interaction should be like this:
\n1. transfer the document to a box or some kind of document-like object
\n2. set the results visually through touch and manipulation of the object
\n3. take that object and tap it against the printer
\n4. and boom magical printout! <\/p>\n
That\\’s the kind of interaction that should be used instead of the pain of drivers, networking, connections, miscommunication of the printout.<\/p>\n
I am just complaining because yesterday when we tried to pick up the printer at 8:00 pm, nobody opened the door. Elena left two (nasty) messages. They finally called back. We asked them about their hours and they said, \\”We\\’re open 24 hours!\\” *cough*<\/p>\n
The CMU carnival<\/a> is here! But unfortunately I am leaving for CHI<\/a> in Montreal tomorrow morning. If anybody else is going to CHI, I will be participating in the student design competition with 3 other students which has its poster presentation monday evening as well as tuesday morning. Then if we get to the second round, the talk will be on Wednesday at 11:30 am. I am also presenting the poster of a works-in-progress paper with da azn bish<\/a> on Wednesday morning. Find me! Although I am not sure if I want to be using my cell phone while roaming internationally…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Printing posters 3 ft x 4 ft is such a pain even though CMU SCS has attempted to make it easy.
