9. B. A. Myers and J. Stylos, "Improving API Usability", Comm. of the ACM, Vol.59, No.6, pp.62-69, June, 2016.
   (A general guide on the topic, and a nice companion to the more specific/metrics-focused Bokhary-Tian paper available on Canvas.)

10. B. Shneiderman, "Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence: Reliable, Safe & Trustworthy", International J. of Human-Computer Interaction, Vol.36, No.6, pp.495-504, 2020.

    (Tagline: By expanding visual interaction (GUI) to encompass all the senses, TI has tremendous potential to transform the way user interact with digital data.)
    (Well, in our class, we have emphasized that DM is more than GUI. In a sense, TI is more appropriately aligned with DM and other I.S.)

12. K. Vasylevska and H. Kaufmann, "Compressing VR: Fitting Large Virtual Environments with Limited Physical Space", IEEE Computing Edge, Sept., 2019, pp.33-39.

    (tagline: "By focusing on users' abiliteis rather than disabilities, designers can create interactive systems better matched to those abilities.")
    (relevant topics: communication and collaboration chapter of DTUI, location and duration to define context that may impair one's ability to use technology.)

A lot other papers on AR/VR, BCI (HCI->BCI, direct brain-interface), etc., not individually listed here.
