APM is a home for a collection of R&D efforts into the future of software, HCI, and personal workstations. While computing has a long way to go before it fullfils its potential, these experiments are designed to embrace and enhance existing, pervasive, well-understood technologies rather than reinvent the wheel. Research projects include:
Stuart K. Card and Thomas P. Moran, "User Technology—From Pointing to Pondering"
