Workshop: Gesture Design for (and with) Mobiles
Barbara Ballard (Little Springs Design)1 PM | Monday | Room TBD
The advent of better processors, cheap accelerometers, touch and multi-touch screens, ubiquitous cameras, other sensors, and some creative technologies has made gestures as input possible and feasible. The Little Springs Design team has partner with University of Kansas students to start exploring what gestures are, how they communicate, and what might be natural.
Learn about gestures for interacting with mobiles, and using mobiles to interact with the world. Discussion will start with a model of what gestures are and the current and near-future state of technologies for mobile devices. The workshop attendees will generate gesture ideas, guided by human factors principles and the student research findings.
The workshop will conclude with designing a on-screen and physical gestural interaction for a mapping product.
