'multicians' and augmented library realities motzes, 04.01.2006 13:24h
back to deep 60s and some techdev countdowns. arpa project as project "Intrex" (information transfer experiments), a library service from the 60s for the mit and others, which should be an "augmented library catalog" according to the haring paper or - as paul a. borel presents it as a tool for "controlling intelligence information". "... the user's initial contact with the console, the only part of the Intrex Catalog System which the average user sees, be a pleasant one. The display console takes the form of a two-pedestal desk. One pedestal houses the console electronics and the second pedestal is free for storage of user's materials. Figure 3 is an artist's sketch of the console. The display CRT [cathode-ray-tube] is in a movable mount that is attached to the center rear of the desk. This places the display directly in front of the user at a comfortable distance from his eyes and hands. The mount allows the display CRT to be moved up or down, left or right, and to be tilted up or down to accommodate user preference. The movable mount is normally firmly locked to its supporting member and is released with a single pushbutton for adjustment. Since this mount is counterweighted, its position can be changed with a minimum amount of effort while the user is sitting down. more from mr borel about computer and usage 1966: My own rule of thumb in the application of machines to nonnumeric problems is this: expect half as much in twice the time at twice the cost. If you get it you can count yourself lucky. (automation for information control) ... Link (0 comments) ... Comment maps motzes, 01.12.2005 00:30h
