Three posters were on display during the conference: the UIST timeline, the UIST co-authorship network and the UIST h-number. See a few photos of the posters at the conference. Click on the poster images below to download the full-resolution PDF version.

UIST Timeline

The UIST timeline poster was created for the interactive thread. It shows a number of milestones in the history of user interface software and technology, and three curves that represent the cost of a computer, the number of PCs shipped worldwide, the number of online households (in the US).

Co-Authorship Network

The visualization of the UIST co-authorship network uses the NodeTrix representation. Large rectangles represent communities of researchers closely collaborating, visualized as adjacency matrices. Each researcher is represented as a named row and column. When two researchers co-signed an article, the cell at the intersection of their respective row and columns is colored. Links also join researchers from different communities who co-signed an article. Click on the image below to download the full poster.

H-Number

The UIST H-number poster shows UIST articles by decreasing number of citations according to Google Scholar. The purple rectangle represents the h-number, i.e. the number h of UIST papers that are cited at least h times. This number was 72 in October 2007 for all UIST papers published between 1988 and 2007.
