Touch Research

This is how we use our computers. With ⁄  Keyboard, ⁄  Mouse, ⁄  Monitor, and ⁄  Speakers

Are richer interaction paradigms

possible ?

Bodies Matter

Contrast the

richness, subtlety, and

coordination of tasks at several levels of concern

that bicycling offers with the graphical user interface that we use today.

“With the current keyboard-mouse-monitor set-up, we do

every task, no matter if it is writing a paper or editing a movie or even playing a game, all the same way. Pointing,

clicking, dragging and dropping, etc.

The work has become ‘homogenized’.”

5

themes for interaction design

⁄  Learning Through Doing

⁄  The Role of Gesture

⁄  Epistemic Action ⁄  Thinking through

Prototyping ⁄  On Representation

No gesture?

Stuck.

How do different options work?

Prototyping: Conversation with

materials.

Natural mappings.

⁄  Action-centered Skills

⁄  Motor Memory

⁄  Reflective Reasoning

⁄  Hands

Build skill.

Tangible.

Hands touch and feel!

⁄  Coordination ⁄  Situated Learning ⁄  Life Performance

Learning? Imitation!

Live!

⁄  Virtual Action is Characterized by Undo. There Is No:

⁄  Trust and Commitment ⁄  Personal Responsibility ⁄  Attention

No undo.

No

options.

Focus.

⁄  Final Scratch ⁄  “Embodied Virtuality” Rather Than Virtual Reality

Don’t simulate the real world.

Come up with new solutions!
