Bill Buxton was a top expert that I easily identified; unfortunately, he works with Microsoft and my story is about Microsoft tech, so I can't use him. I will check out Ishii, and I think now that I understand what the limit facets are showing, I will be able to proceed.

Hi Susan,

Sorry your time was mostly fruitless. I'll try to help.

Searching for haptic* matches 445 entries:
         http://www.hcibib.org/bs.cgi?query=haptic*
Opening the limit facets shows the top Authors, Dates, and
Sources (conference or journal):
         http://www.hcibib.org/bs.cgi?query=haptic*&facetsize=10

When I hear "haptic", I immediately think of Bill Buxton, even though he has not
published much recently:
         http://www.billbuxton.com/InputSources.html

In the list of top haptic authors, I see Hiroshi Ishii, who is very well known
for tangible user interfaces:
         http://www.hcibib.org/bs.cgi?query=tangible&facetsize=10

Hope this helps.

Hello, Gary. I am looking for an academic research expert to comment for a story I'm working on for Scientific American Online. I've just spent an interesting but mostly fruitless hour on the Hcibib site -- including reading the FAQ. Since this followed a couple of other fruitless hours in general research, I thought I would ask if you had any tips, because I think your site has what I need -- somewhere.

I'm trying to identify a top researcher, in terms of number of recent publications, on haptic feedback devices for computers and games. Is there any way to search within your "Top Authors" list? I've been clicking on each Top Author and scanning their papers, but this method is slow. Using the search turns up very few papers.

Any ideas? Thanks much! Susan
