3. “

KINETIC UI explores the intersection of the mobile GUI and
new physical input methods. The project is a series of
experiments that looks to answer…what comes after multi-
touch
SENSORS GRAPHICS PHSYICAL
19. INSTANT
Low latency for
gesture recognition is
not just desirable, but
critical
SMALL
Leverage minute and
subtle movement
whenever possible
INSTINCTIVE
It is in people’s nature
to negotiate objects in
the world with their
hands
COMBINATIONS
Provide for multiple,
simultaneous inputs
EFFORTLESS
The solution needs to
reduce the effort to
complete tasks and
goals.
PRINCIPLES
Both introduce
Can’t talk about the project…but can talk about the process that got us there.
both speak
Mention team, as well as artefact
represent the concept design team at the T-Mobile Creation Center.
Work on imagining and creating a future 3-5 years out.
Jon…
Introduce the problem space…what comes after multi-touch
The future is sensors
Jon
Sensors are giving us new capabilities that will allow us to have more environmental interactions
Layering of sensors
So with all of these new inputs, how do we design for that.
Lead into design techniques for innovation

5 techniques
1 sentence for each one
Phooey: (Future Forward) using fantast UI as a thought catalyst
Sexi: (Get up, get physical) Get physical, move around
Improv: (exaggerated narratives) its about exageration, and scenario based, narrative setting
Mule: (sensor experiments) get it in hand, experimenting with sensors and technologies to find opportunities….quickly. quick little tests
Odd Couples: pairing parallel disciplines
Prarthana
inspiration from fantasy UI
Sci-Fi movies
video game experiences
emerging experiments from MIT
Paired with actions we currently do
Actions
Visual Themes
Results: Very visual, almost no physical interaction leads into sexi plexi

Prar:
about engaging with all of the surfaces of your device
Ignore the screen. What do you have left. Get physical with the SURFACES of the device.
“Everything we do is here (on the screen), so ignore the screen, what do we have left. How do we interact.”
Become intimate with the physicality of the object.
Jon
Teams of 3, pick their own tasks to solve for
Process:
No chairs. required to stand up. wanted this to be very physical by design
groups 3
Had to tell a narrative when they were done (present, inherently physical)
Give them an object to react too, and get them off their feet
low fidelity, high physicality
First gestures started appearing here

Scenario based
Non-designers, exaggeration of ideas and movement.
Role playing: on-the –fly…instinct driven…intuitive
New forms of hands-free…butt dialing and jaw dialing

Experiment with sensors, load it up (pack mule)
