MSN
Slider gives a person a simple physical slider that lets them quickly set
their on-line status on MSN Instant Messenger. Moving the slider changes the
state from online, to busy, away, offline, and so on. A physical display made up
of labeled LEDs reflects the person's on-line status. An on-screen display also
shows the person's status..
At the heart of MSN Slider is an interface kit controlling the slider
data and setting the on/off state of the LEDs.
Michael Rounding created this as a simple example to show students when he was the teaching assisting for a human computer interaction class at the University of Calgary.
