This Tuesday, Tristan will be giving a talk on New Models for Publishing and Browsing on the Web at monthly meeting of the Bay Area Chapter of ACM SIGCHI. SIGCHI, the Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction, brings together “people working on the design, evaluation, implementation, and study of interactive computing systems for human use”. Tristan will talk about the current models of browsing and how Apture’s model allows people to discover information in a richer and more efficient fashion.

The meeting also features Aline Baeck, Experience Design Architect at Intuit, who will speak on How Leonardo da Vinci Invented the Design Profession and is open to the general public. There will be dinner and informal socializing before the talks.

For the last decade, two main browsing models have seemingly dominated the web navigation experience: 1) using the forward/back navigation stack to navigate pages synchronously, and 2) opening new browser windows and tabs to navigate pages asynchronously. Both of these models respect the basic idea that the web should be composed fundamentally of pages. But contemporary web “2.0″ applications continue to show us that there is a need for alternative models. Apture is a new company pioneering new ways to both publish and browse information more efficiently and in a richer format for the end user. I will talk about several of these models, and demonstrate how it is being applied to applications such as blogging and large online publishing websites.

When:  Tuesday Nov. 11th, 7:30pm
