ABSTRACT
Human Computation, along with much of the Internet, only works when humans find tasks fun, enjoyable, or valuable enough to outweigh the time and effort they require to complete. The more value, or utility, that a task and interface provides, the more "work" humans will do. However, we do not yet know how to objectively measure the fun, enjoyment, or value of a user interface applied to a particular task. This demonstration presents the utiliscope, a system that empirically measures the utility of a user interface for a task by putting multiple versions of a user interface together with a task on Mechanical Turk and measuring the amount of money required to convince humans to use them.

Towards a human-computer interaction model for voice user interfaces
CLIHC '19: Proceedings of the IX Latin American Conference on Human Computer InteractionThe user interaction with computer systems has evolved over the years, from Command Line Interfaces (CLIs), Graphics User Interfaces (GUIs), Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) and actually Voice User Interfaces (VUIs). The use of VUIs is increasingly common,...
