Tangible User Interfaces Graphical > Tangible? What are their limitations? 93 94 Graphical > Tangible? Graphical > Tangible? • Dynamicity, Flexibility • Reality based interaction • Price • Compromise with software when it brings benefit http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1357054.1357089 95 96
Reality Based Interaction Reality Based Interaction • Interface design • build on 4 themes (= human capabilities) from • Four themes from the “real” world the “real” world • compromise with 6 tradeoffs in order to reach design goal 97 98 Reality Based Interaction Reality Based Interaction E.g., gravity, friction, velocity E.g., relative position of body parts, range of motion, skills to coordinate movements (to walk, kick a ball) Example of interfaces using users’ knowledge of naive Example of interfaces using physics? users’ body awareness and skills? 99 100
Reality Based Interaction Reality Based Interaction E.g., horizon gives a sense of directional E.g., verbal and non-verbal information, lighting and shadow communication, exchange objects, provide depth cues ability for collaboration Example of interfaces using Example of interfaces using users’ environment users’ social awareness and awareness and skills? skills? 101 102 Reality Based Interaction: Reality Based Interaction Six tradeoffs Expressive power Case study: URP ability to perform a variety of tasks within the application domain What themes does URP use? Efficiency ability to perform a task rapidly • Naive Physics Versatility ability to perform many tasks from different application domains • Body Ergonomics ability to perform a task without physical injury or fatigue • Environment Accessibility ability to perform a task when handicapped • Social Awareness Practicality (designers) ability to produce the system 103 104
Reality Based Interaction Graphical > Tangible? What does URP sacrifice for which benefit? • Expressive power Software mouse+touch GUI took over • • Efficiency Tangible might be coming back • E.g., induction hub • Versatility with removable magnetic tangible knob • Ergonomics New and Open research areas • that bring tangibles closer to software • Accessibility • Practicality 105 106 How can we benefit again BREAK from Tangibility? • Focus group 107 108
