After eighteen exciting and educational months abroad I’ve now returned back home to Klagenfurt and the Department of Informatics Systems<\/a> after travelling over 18,000 kilometres from Christchurch in New Zealand. My visit in New Zealand started in July 2008 when I received an Erwin-Schr\u00f6dinger scholarship from FWF, The Austrian Science Fund<\/a>, to conduct research on desktop interfaces at the HCI & Multimedia Lab<\/a> at the University of Canterbury<\/a>. After long hours and days in the hosting lab, thinking, prototyping and t<\/p>\n esting on how to re-design and make current desktop tools\u2013such as task switching interfaces (e.g. the Microsoft XP Taskbar and Alt+Tab tool), pull-down menus and toolbars\u2013easier to learn and more efficient and fun to use, I had the opportunity to explore the magnificent scenery of New Zealand, Australia and Cook Islands.<\/p>\n If you’re interested to hear more about my research and my experiences from the south pacific region, I welcome you to join in on our get-together on 8 April when Bonifaz Kaufmann and I talk about our experiences from USA and New Zealand.
