HCI Links - Languages and interaction

Version of 8/24/04 - by RPF -

Many of the links here are gathered from a variety of sources and need to be updated or simply deleted. That is a work in progress, starting in the Fall of 2004. The links below do not open new windows, so a tabbed browser such as Firefox can be useful in exploring the collection. The titles alone give little indication of "what lies beyond", so annotating the titles is also useful project (or collection of projects).
