PAPER | Unlocking the Expressivity of Point Lights
Chris Harrison, John Horstman, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
Gary Hsieh, Michigan State University, USA
Scott Hudson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA
66 | ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
&
Small lights (e.g., LEDs) are used as indicators in a wide variety of
devices. Although exceedingly simple in their output, varying light
intensity over time, their design space can be rich.
PAPER | Virtual Projection: Exploring Optical Projection
as a Metaphor for Multi-Device Interaction
Dominikus Baur, University of Munich LMU, Germany
Sebastian Boring, University of Calgary, Canada
Steven Feiner, Columbia University, USA
Describes the concept of virtualizing optical projections as a
metaphor for interacting between handhelds and stationary
displays. We present characteristics, implementation and
evaluation of such virtual projections.
PAPER | Creating and Using Interactive Narratives:
Reading and Writing Branching Comics
Daniel Andrews, Chris Baber, University of Birmingham, UK
Sergey Efremov, Mikhail Komarov, Moscow State Institute of
Electronics and Mathematics (Technical University), Russia
Describes the design and development of a novel form of
interactive, multi-touch comics, which can facilitate the authoring
of, and engagement with, interactive narratives.
NOTE | TimeBlocks: “Mom, Can I Have Another Block
of Time?”
Eiji Hayashi, Martina Rau, Zhe Han Neo, Nastasha Tan,
Sriram Ramasubramanian, Eric Paulos, Carnegie Mellon
University, USA
Presents the design, development, and evaluation of TimeBlocks.
TimeBlocks is a novel tangible, playful object to facilitate
communication about time between young children and adults.
CASE STUDY | Canvas Presentations in the Wild
Leonhard Lichtschlag, Thomas Hess, Thorsten Karrer,
Jan Borchers, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Examines evolving layout strategies in publicly available canvas
presentations. Finds that the benefits of this format previously
demonstrated in the lab setting can also be observed in real-life
presentations.
