Ok, how much time should I use for the presentations?
Is anyone going to talk about the more general buoyoing aspects
(local spatial coherence)? 

Pre-attentive cues in user interfaces

- modeling effortless and parallel *pre-attentive* processes 
  of human vision -> UI improvements
- examples: figs in manuscripts (fillets, paper, irregu?)


Lego controllers

New user interfaces could benefit from customized controllers, 
but it is expensive to design and produce for specific purposes 
unless standard, mass-produced parts can be used. 
We show how controllers can be built from a standard mouse 
and Lego bricks, allowing anyone to reproduce the design 
without any tools and to easily prototype new designs.
