Affordances and Feedback in Nuance-Oriented Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual Environments (VEs) and perceptive user interfaces must deal with complex users and their modes of interaction. One way to approach this problem is to recognize users’ nuances (subtle conscious or unconscious actions). In exploring nuance-oriented interfaces, we attempted to let users work as they preferred without being biased by feedback or affordances in the system. The hope was that we would discover the users’ innate models of interaction. The results of two user studies were that users are guided not by any innate model but by affordances and feedback in the interface. So, without this guidance, even the most obvious and useful components of an interface will be ignored.

Personalized Nuance-Oriented Interaction in Virtual Environments
Virtual Environment (VE) user interfaces do not generally support personalized interaction or the ability to adapt to the user. Our research is developing nuanceoriented interfaces – interfaces that take advantage of subtle clues that users give in their actions. To that end, we have performed five experiments with the goal of recognizing and applying nuances for the task of selection. We found...
متن کاملA First Step Towards Nuance-Oriented Interfaces for Virtual Environments
Designing usable interfaces for virtual environments (VEs) is not a trivial task. Much of the difficulty stems from the complexity and volume of the input data. Many VEs, in the creation of their interfaces, ignore much of the input data as a result of this. Using machine learning (ML), we introduce the notion of a nuance that can be used to increase the precision and power of a VE interface. A...
متن کاملSocial affordances and Technological Intersubjectivity in HCI
In this theoretically oriented paper, we present an exposition of the phenomena of technological intersubjectivity that emerges in computer supported social interactional situations under two major themes. The first theme re-conceptualizes social interaction supported by various information and communication technologies (ICT) as appropriation of social affordances. The second theme explicates ...
متن کاملDynamical Interactions with Electronic Instruments
This paper examines electronic instruments that incorporate dynamical systems, where the behaviour of the instrument depends not only upon the immediate input to the instrument, but also on the past input. Five instruments are presented as case studies: Michel Waisvisz’ Cracklebox, Dylan Menzies’ Spiro, no-input mixing desk, the author’s Feedback Joypad, and microphone-loudspeaker feedback. Lin...
متن کاملPhysical Affordances Considered Harmful ! ?
Frequently physical affordances are considered one of the main advantages of tangible interfaces or input devices, making interaction intuitive. This assumption may be overly simplistic – because physical objects have a multitude of physical affordances and properties, it is difficult for the designer to restrict these to (only) those that match with the digital system that they are connected w...
