Softwares

Metisse is an X-based window system designed with two goals in mind. First, it should make it easy for HCI researchers to design and implement innovative window management techniques Second, it should conform to existing standards and be robust and efficient enough to be used on a daily basis, making it a suitable platform for the evaluation of the proposed techniques.

WMTrace is a window manager logger for the X Window system. It logs your activity, but preserve your private life. Then, it is possible to study these logs (with some tools as wmtrace-view) and to use this to improve our window managers.

Other softwares I am working on: Nucleo (N. Roussel), ZVTM (E. Pietriga), Touchstone Run Platform (Appert et al), etc.


Short Bio

Olivier Chapuis is Research Scientist (CR1) at CNRS. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1994 from University Paris VII Diderot. He was recruited by the CNRS in 1995 and spent 8 years at Institut Camille Jordan (CNRS & Lyon-I University) where he worked on model theory, group and field theory and algebraic complexity, and published papers in journals such as Journal of Algebra, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic and Journal of Symbolic Logic.

In 2004, he switched to Human-Computer Interaction and joined the InSitu team (LRI -- University Paris-Sud & CNRS, INRIA). His current research mainly concerns window systems, window management, pointing techniques, Fitts' law, multiscale interaction, graphical interaction techniques and the evaluation of interactive systems. He has published and served as reviewer and associated chair in conferences such as ACM CHI and ACM UIST.
