Workshop «Interaction Vocabulary»

In this workshop we want to set up a interaction vocabulary, we define a vocabulary as a set of symbols used to describe gestures.

This vocabulary is supposed to form the basis for describing and designing interactive artifacts for an exhibition or other spatial design contexts.

Setup:– Form 2 Groups and pull together some tables as a workspace– Use only paper, pens and a camera– 10.30 – 13.00 & 14.00 – 15.30

Elements to use:Human-side:– 2 hands (Fingertips, Fingers, Palm)Artifact-side– 2D Surface (Screen, Button, etc.)– 3D Object (Interact with an object in space)– 4D Space (Gesture in space over a period of time)

Categories:– Photo (a still of what happens)– Pictogram– Description (What is it)– Artifact (Which type of Artifact)– Function (What does it do)– Type (Is it digital or analog)

Goal:Create a vocabulary of human gestures to interact with interactive artifacts. Drawn on paper and then translated into a digital file.

Why do I need this?1. Support to find possible solutions (Example 1)2. To describe / explain my design (Examples 2 & 3)

EXAMPLE: FINDING SOLUTIONS
