Seven Master of Arts students from Constance at the University of Applied Sciences Communication Design faculty are working on design research concerning multi-touch interfaces during summer term 2008. Studying a research paper ...

Touch Research

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

4. ?
Are richer
interaction
paradigms
possible

6. Bodies Matter

7. 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.

12. “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’.”

13. 5
themes for
interaction
design

15. ⁄ Learning Through
Doing
⁄ The Role of
Gesture
⁄ Epistemic Action
⁄ Thinking through
Prototyping
⁄ On Representation

16. No gesture?
Stuck.

17. How do
different
options
work?

18. Prototyping:
Conversation with
materials.

19. Natural
mappings.

21. ⁄ Action-
centered
Skills
⁄ Motor
Memory
⁄ Reflective
Reasoning
⁄ Hands

22. Build
skill.

23. Tangible.

24. Hands touch and
feel!

26. ⁄ Coordination
⁄ Situated Learning
⁄ Life Performance

27. Learning?
Imitation!

28. Live!

30. ⁄ Virtual Action is Characterized by
Undo. There Is No:
⁄ Trust and Commitment
⁄ Personal Responsibility
⁄ Attention

31. No undo.

32. No
options.

33. Focus.

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

36. Don’t simulate the real world.

37. Come up with new solutions!
