MULTI-Lab: Multimedia and User Interface Laboratory

考夫曼用户界面和多媒体技术在九十年代及以后的计算机应用中将是至关重要的。 无论是在斯托尼布鲁克还是其他地方，在这些领域培训本科生的设施都很有限。培训需要计算机科学家和心理学家之间的合作，以及支持图像，声音，视频和高级I/O设备的专用计算机系统。斯托尼布鲁克的计算机科学和心理学系最近获得了美国国家科学基金会教育基础设施拨款，用于开发计算机与人类互动和多媒体的设计和实施方面的创新，跨学科课程。 该课程包括九门课程：用户界面开发，人类信息处理，计算机图形学，计算机支持的协同工作，可视化，多媒体，界面设计中的人为因素，以及两门高级设计课程。 我们正在创建一个本科生多媒体用户界面实验室，多实验室，这使得每学期超过150名本科生的课程的实施。 多实验室是我们课程成功的关键。 每个参与的学生都有设计，原型设计和评估各种用户界面和多媒体系统的实践经验。 MULTI-Lab是一个数据、音频和视频联网的多媒体Macintosh异构实验室，有几台PC和Sun Unix工作站，沿着一系列I/O设备和多媒体外围设备。 该课程的教学材料是多媒体课件和软件，将作为一套光盘和专著广泛分发，这些光盘和专著将成为一系列名为“斯托尼布鲁克计算机与人互动课程”的材料。"

9451851 Kaufman User interfaces and multimedia technologies will be of critical importance in computer applications for the nineties and beyond. Facilities for training undergraduates in these areas are limited, both at Stony Brook and elsewhere. Training requires collaboration between computer scientists and psychologists, as well as specialized computer systems that support images, sound, video, and advanced I/O devices. The Departments of Computer Science and Psychology at Stony Brook have recently been awarded an NSF Educational Infrastructure grant to develop an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum in the design and implementation aspects of computer-human interaction and multimedia. The curriculum consists of nine courses: User Interface Development, Human Information Processing, Computer Graphics, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Visualization, Multimedia, Human Factors in Interface Design, and two Senior Design courses. We are creating an undergraduate multimedia user-interface lab, the MULTI-Lab, which enables the implementation of the curriculum with over 150 undergraduates every semester. The MULTI-Lab is paramount to the success of our curriculum. Every participating student has hands-on experience in the design, prototyping, and evaluation of a variety of user interfaces and multimedia systems. The MULTI-Lab is a data-, audio-, and video-networked heterogeneous laboratory of multimedia Macintoshes, with a few PCs and Sun Unix workstations, along with a selection of I/O devices and multi-media peripherals. The instructional material for the curriculum is multimedia courseware and software that will be disseminated widely as a set of CD-ROMs and monographs in a series called "Stony Brook Curriculum in Computer-Human Interaction."
