Evaluating Interaction Design in Brazilian Tablet Journalism: Gestural Interfaces and Affordance Communicability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work aims to provide a contribution to the definition of new parameters to guide interface design and content publishing that will ensure the quality of gestural interaction in newspaper apps for tablets. Our case study is O Globo A Mais, a digital edition with unique content specially produced for iPad, launched by Rio de Janeiro ́s newspaper O Globo, one of the majors in Brazil. The research employed two techniques of qualitative emphasis: exploratory interviews and user observation focused on readers. We concluded that designers and journalists of O Globo A Mais should develop and refine their discourse to users through its gestural interfaces.

Affordance-Based Design of Physical Interfaces for Ubiquitous Environments
Physical interfaces have been proposed as a way to realize natural interactions with ubiquitous computing environments. The successful design of such interfaces requires design approaches that integrate aspects of our world which are usually treated separately in traditional system development approaches. This paper describes a design approach based on Gibson concept of affordance. We demonstra...
متن کاملInteraction Concepts for Digital Concept Sketching
While interfaces for digital painting have been investigated in some detail, interaction dedicated for digital drawing and sketching has not received as much attention. We therefore explore new interaction concepts for digital drawing and present a system tailored to freehand sketching with a pen tablet. Because the interfaces of traditional graphics software are often complex and not aimed tow...
متن کاملFreehand Gestural Selection Design for Interactive Television
Televisions are delivering more interactive experiences with internet connections, various applications and interactive content. However, traditional TV remote controls are not well suited to such interactive TV platforms. With the widespread use of freehand gestural interaction enabled by low-cost cameras, gestural interfaces are a promising solution for controlling interactive TV. Currently, ...
متن کاملGestural Musical Affordances
This paper is a comparative study of gestural interaction with musical sound, designed to gain insight into the notion of musical affordance on interactive music systems. We conducted an interview base user study trialing three accelerometer based devices, an iPhone, a Wii-mote, and an Axivity Wax prototype, with four kinds of musical sound, including percussion, stringed instruments, and voice...
متن کاملTowards Gestural Sonic Affordances
We present a study that explores the affordance evoked by sound and sound-gesture mappings. In order to do this, we make use of a sensor system with minimal form factor in a user study that minimizes cultural association. The present study focuses on understanding how participants describe sounds and gestures produced while playing designed sonic interaction mappings. This approach seeks to mov...
