Interaction’09: my presentation
Here is the presentation I gave in Vancouver for Interaction’09. I had only 20 minutes, looking back at it I think I tried to cram too much into that timeframe. Usually I’m not so nervous for talks, but this time it was a bit different. The crowd was really knowledgeable and in the end I was quite nervous to expose my ideas and work to this audience.
Abstract:
Our sensorial system is our interface to the world. It is trough and with our senses that we can perceive, reason and exchange with external systems, living or not. Our professional and personal activities are made of rich and complex sensorial experiences, spanning on different stimulus and modalities.
Up to now, the repertoire of input and output forms generally found in human-device interfaces have been usually centered on vision and to some extend audition. Despite decades of research and development, very few systems or devices today go beyond these two senses and truly offer rich multimodal interaction. Why is that so?
This presentation will explore the opportunities and challenges related to developing new multimodal interfaces specifically based on the touch sense. It will present various methods, techniques, tools and processes that interaction designers can use to assess, sketch, create and evaluate dynamic haptic and multimodal interfaces.
