Now Playing: Software Prefab What if We Could Modify Any Interface?

Description: Imagine if every interface was open source. Any of us could modify the software we use every day. Unfortunately, we dont have the source. Prefab realizes this vision using only the pixels of everyday interfaces. This video shows the use of Prefab to add new functionality to Adobe Photoshop, Apple iTunes, and Microsoft Windows Media Player. Prefab represents a new approach to deploying HCI research in everyday software, and is also the first step toward a future where anybody can modify any interface. Presented by Morgan Dixon and James Fogarty at CHI 2010.
