CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in Ubiquitous Computing lecture - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in Ubiquitous Computing lecture eight, beyond the screen Eric C. Larson, Lyle School of Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Southern Methodist University 1

class logistics • A1 due! • upload video and source code to blackboard • Next up for lecture: Nathan and Amanda • even further beyond the screen • Before next class: • watch the tutorials and come prepared to do the second in class assignment!! • how were videos last time? CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 2 Ubiquitous Computing

UbiComp • natural user interfaces - is this how you guys feel? say NUI again CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 3 Ubiquitous Computing

agenda • tangible bits • haptic phantom CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 4 Ubiquitous Computing

tangible bits • Hiroshi Ishii, Associate Director of the MIT Media Lab the development of tangible interfaces requires the rigor of both scientific and artistic review CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 5 Ubiquitous Computing

tangible bits • tangible bits: to make the digital bits of information tangible and graspable, physically-embodied digital information in physical space • 1997: • computer beats chess world champion (at chess) • steve jobs returns to apple • end of oklahoma city bombing trial CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 6 Ubiquitous Computing

tangible bits • claim is that it is different than ubiquitous computing • is it? • thesis: tangible interfaces afford more traditional interaction and are naturally ubiquitous • ubicomp genre: interaction • problem: “Where the sea meets the land, life has blossomed into a myriad of unique forms in the turbulence of water, sand, and wind. At another seashore between the land of atoms and the sea of bits, we are now facing the challenge of reconciling our dual citizenships in the physical and digital worlds.” CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 7 Ubiquitous Computing

TUI example 1: metaDESK CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 8 Ubiquitous Computing

TUI example 2: ambientROOM • when constant, we tune it out • changes trigger attention • would this be a better way to get notifications? • TUI3: they also did transBOARD • but it wasn’t all that compelling CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 9 Ubiquitous Computing

strengths / weaknesses • explored an unprecedented number of new interactions techniques • extremely technical implementations without technical baggage • but this also hides deficiency in the design • how many people thought all these things were created and usable? • visionary in that it codified a field of existing research and made it into a field of HCI CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 10 Ubiquitous Computing

more tangible bits CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 11 Ubiquitous Computing

more tangible bits CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 12 Ubiquitous Computing

more tangible bits • how might this paper influence your idea of a final project? • does this give more credence or change your view on: • touche • retro-depth CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 13 Ubiquitous Computing

a video between papers CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 14 Ubiquitous Computing

phantom haptics: leveraging the digital • thesis: richer haptic output can be achieved • ubicomp genre: interaction • problem: creating phantom sensations from a vibration array CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 15 Ubiquitous Computing

phantom haptics: technique CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 16 Ubiquitous Computing

phantom haptics: evaluation • four users • various continuous motions • “clarity” of creeping effect was then evaluated CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 17 Ubiquitous Computing

strengths and weaknesses • work in progress • weak user study • interesting idea, with good motivation • no control case • limited to entertainment • only on back! CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 18 Ubiquitous Computing

a final thought CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 19 Ubiquitous Computing

for next class... • monday: no summary due next time!! • but you need to watch videos and install software on laptops • come prepared to work on a problem!! • wednesday: even further beyond the screen • amanda and nathan CSE5390 & 7390 Special Topics in 20 Ubiquitous Computing
