Stuart K. Card

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart K. Card (born 1946 ) is an American researcher and retired Senior Research Fellow at Xerox PARC . He is considered to be one of the pioneers in the application of ergonomics in human-computer interaction .

Life

Card received a BA in Physics from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Carnegie Mellon University . In the late 1960s he began to work as an associate faculty member at Stanford University . From 1974 he worked at PARC and was head of the user interfaces research group. His study of input devices led to the characterization of the computer mouse according to Fitts' law and was an important factor in the commercial launch of the mouse by Xerox, particularly in the Alto and Star projects , some of the very first GUI systems to incorporate a desk metaphor use.

The 1983 book The Psychology of Human-Computer Interaction , co-authored with Thomas P. Moran and Allen Newell , became a seminal work in the HCI field. Further research on the theoretical characterization of human-machine interaction led to developments such as the Human Processor model , the GOMS theory of user interaction , information research theory and statistical descriptions of Internet use. In the new millennium, his research focused on the development of a supporting science of human-information interaction and visual-semantic prototypes to support the finding of meaning.

Card retired from PARC in 2010 but was an advisory professor in the computer science department at Stanford University.

Awards

Card received several awards. In 2000 he received the CHI Lifetime Achievement Award from SIGCHI of the Association for Computing Machinery and became a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery. In 2001 he was elected to the CHI Academy. In 2007 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and received the Bower Award and the Franklin Institute Award for Scientific Achievement. On May 26, 2008, Card was named an Honorary Doctor of Science by Oberlin College .
