However, while it is \nrelatively straightforward to measure the impact of a tool or technique \non task efficiency for well-defined tasks, it is much more difficult to \nmeasure computers\u0027 impact on higher-level cognitive processes, such as \ncreative processes. In my own research in Human-Computer Interaction, I \ncreate novel interaction techniques, but run up against the problem of \ntrying to demonstrate how these tools positively impact higher-level \nprocesses such as creativity, expressiveness and exploration. In this \ntalk, I first present a variety of interaction techniques that I have \ndeveloped, and I then describe a new survey metric, the Creativity \nSupport Index (CSI), that we have developed to help researchers and \ndesigners evaluate the level of creativity support provided by various \nsystems, tools or interfaces. I will discuss what has been learned \nduring the process of creating this survey and its usage in three \ndifferent studies. The Creativity Support Index is one of the very first\n indices to support any evaluation of a computer system\u0027s impact on \nhigher-level cognitive work. I will discuss the CSI within the context \nof my longer term goal to develop a suite of tools (including biometric \ntools) that provide both stronger analytical power, and a fundamental \nframework for evaluating computational support for creative activities, \nengagement and aesthetic experience.\u003C\/p\u003E\n        \n        \n\n\n    \n            \n                      \n              \u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\n                    \u003Cp\u003EDr. Celine Latulipe has a PhD in Computer Science\n from the University of Waterloo in Canada. She is an Assistant \nProfessor of Human-Computer Interaction in the Department of Software \nand Information Systems in the College of Computing and Informatics at \nUNC Charlotte. Dr. Latulipe has long been fascinated by two-handed \ninteraction in the real world, and the absence of it in the \nhuman-computer interface. She has developed numerous individual and \ncollaborative two-handed interaction techniques and these have blossomed\n into an exploration of creative expression. Dr. Latulipe works on \nprojects with choreographers, dancers, artists and theatre producers to \nbetter understand creative work in practice and how technology may play a\n role in supporting and evaluating creative work practices. Currently, \nDr. Latulipe is working on the Dance.Draw project, funded by an NSF \nCreativeIT grant.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Building and Evaluating Creative Interaction"}],"uid":"27197","created_gmt":"2011-01-24 10:01:31","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:53:52","author":"Renata Le Dantec","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-01-27T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-01-27T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-01-27T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-01-27 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-01-27 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-01-27 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1299","name":"GVU Center"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"4096","name":"brown bag"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"5743","name":"GVU Brown Bag"},{"id":"8494","name":"HCI"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
