The early days of HCI were marked by bold visions of hypertext as a transformative medium for augmented sensemaking, exemplified in systems like Memex, Xanadu, and NoteCards. Today, however, hypertext is often disconnected from discussions of the future ...

This paper explores the integration of hypertext structures within Virtual Reality (VR) environments, differentiating between two distinct design philosophies: VR as a native framework for 3D embodiment-enabled spaces similar to traditional 2D spatial ...

Traditional spatial hypertext systems, predominantly limited to two-dimensional (2D) interfaces, offer limited support for addressing long debated inherent problems such as orientation difficulties and navigation in large information spaces. In this ...

This article describes the theoretical matrix from which this particular work of interactive media emerges while also expounding on how the subject matter and content of the piece relates to the ACM conference theme of “Creative Intelligence.” It is ...

A legacy of print is that much of our process and tooling is predicated on using text in paginated form, such as was required for (paper) printed media. Increasingly, digitally-created (‘born-digital’) documents will never be used non-digitally and yet ...

This paper considers hypertext in its various forms as a paradigm that has the potential to reduce a number of ethical concerns that come with (generative) AI. Based on a user scenario, the paper points out some ethical issues and explains how they can ...

In this paper, we propose an innovative framework for scientific podcasts that integrates principles of ergodic literature and hypertext theory to enhance user engagement and educational depth. Traditional podcasts follow a linear structure, limiting ...

HUMAN 2024 is the 7th workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. The HUMAN workshop has a strong focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous ...

We are entering a period of unprecedented collaboration between authors and computers, where artificial intelligence in particular seems likely to act increasingly in a co-authoring capacity. Automated or procedural storytelling represents one exciting ...

The paper presents SPORE, a Spatial Recommender System. As we enter a period of unprecedented collaboration between authors and computers, where artificial intelligence in particular seems likely to act increasingly in a co-authoring capacity, SPORE ...

HUMAN 2023 is the 6th workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. The HUMAN workshop has a strong focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous ...

Hypertext and Web pioneers had high aspirations and expectations about the potential positive impact of technology. However, studies in the last decades have shown how widely adopted social and intelligent media are either amplifiers or a source of ...

Two years ago the idea of International Teaching and Research in Hypertext (INTR/HT) was introduced. This paper follows up on this idea and further develops new thoughts on this topic, based on the experiences gained from three university courses taught ...

What is Hypertext? It has been studied and explored for over 50 years but a complete definition seems ever more elusive. The term is invoked in multiple communities, and applied in radically different domains, but if we cannot reconcile the different ...

HUMAN ’22 is the fifth workshop of a series for the ACM Hypertext conferences. It has a strong focus on the user and thus is complementary to the strong machine analytics research direction that could be experienced in previous conferences.

The user-...

In this paper, we report on a software demonstrator that utilizes a spatial hypertext UI to support knowledge management in the context of maintenance in industry. To demonstrate the flexibility of that approach, we re-use the software to visualize ...

This blue sky paper envisions a novel system which promotes emotional closeness through storytelling. Family members, who may be separated, collaboratively build a spatial hypertext of images and text fragments to express and structure their thoughts ...

Conferences such as ACM Hypertext have been running for many decades and the metadata on their collected publications represent a valuable scholarly meta-history on areas such as the community’s health, diversity, and changing interests. But the ...

Storyspace, introduced at the first ACM Workshop on Hypertext in 1987, was developed as a hypertext system for exploring creative writing and for writing instruction. Uniquely among systems of that era, Storyspace continues in use today, and Storyspace ...

Here we revisit hypertexts as found before the Web became its current established form. One such system from that time is 'Microcosm', which was initially developed at the University of Southampton in UK from the late-1980s to the late-1990s. Microcosm ...
