Adventure games
You are standing at the end of a road before a
small brick building. Around you is a forest.
A small stream flows down a gully.
ENTER BUILDING
You are inside a building, a well house for a
large spring. There are some keys on the
ground here. There is a shiny brass lamp
nearby. There is a bottle of water here.
GET WATER
Okay
GET KEYS
Okay
(Adventure, 1975)

Interaction, a definition
Mutual and simultaneous
activity on the part of both
participants usually
working towards some goal
but not necessarily.

Andy Lippman, MIT

Stewart Brand, The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at M.I.T. (Penguin, 1988), p. 46

Lippman on Interactivity, corollaries
• Interruptibility
• Graceful degradation
• Limited look ahead
• No default
• Impression of infinite database

Interaction


17

Interruptibility
• Lippman contrasts the ability of any
participant to interrupt the others with
alternating (turn taking). He proposes a
model of interaction closer to a conversation
than a lecture. He refers to the granularity of
the interactive system to raise the question
of the human interval where participants
understand they are not being ignored (e.g.
word, sentence, paragraph). See phatic
function in Jakobson's model of
communication.
Interaction


18

Graceful degradation
• Something the system cannot
handle crops up. An example:
a system responds to a
question without an
immediate answer with a
promise to come back to the
point later. The interaction
continues; it does not
collapse. Lippman asks "in
what manner does it degrade,
productively or not?"
Interaction


19

Limited look ahead
• Everything is not precomputed. Related concept "on the fly."

Interaction


20

No default
• Lippman suggests avoiding default paths. He considers them boring.

Interaction


21

Impression of infinite database
• The distinction between "interactive and selective" gets looped back
into that of "granularity".

Interaction

GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS GAINES AND I WISH TO
TALK TO YOU
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN NAMES
SORRY PERHAPS YOU COULD LET ME KNOW YOUR
INTERESTS
PLEASE DON’T APOLOGIZE
THANK YOU WHAT INTEREST YOU MOST?
WHY DO YOU ASK?
BECAUSE I HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR INEFFABLE
CAPABILITIES
IS THAT THE REAL REASON?
YES YOUR CAPABILITIES INTEREST ME
YOU SEEM QUITE POSITIVE
