Interactivity (I)


Interactivity is an overused, underdeﬁned concept.



Interactivity (II)


Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or
more objects have an effect upon one another.


Interactivity (III)
Contingency View.
Three Levels on
interactivity.
1. Noninteractive.
When a message is not related to
previous messages.
2. Reactive.
When a message is related only to
one immediately previous message.
3. Interactive.
When a message is related to a
number of previous messages and to
the relationship between them.




Messages & Interaction

Interaction happens via messages
sent between systems and users.
Text, speech, colors, visual feedback, mechanical input,
physical input.
Keep things simple.
Anticipatable.
Design: “Principle of least surprise”.
Let users learn.



Interfaces & Interaction


Interface sits between actors (shared medium) and
facilitates its communication.
Determines:
- Functionality, efﬁciency, clarity, tone, attractiveness, simplicity.



Designed Experiences
Human attempt to structure
an environment to create a
whole set of interactions for
a human participant.
Mediated

Webs, installations, museums, theaters, etc.

Non mediated

Architecture, interior design, museums,
event planning, storytelling (in person).




Characteristics
of interactive experiences
-Situated in Time
-Situated in Space (embodied)
-Lived Experience
-Differentiating Self and Other
-Affordances
-Interactivity

Interactive System




Input. Deﬁnition.

Input is the term denoting
either an entrance or
changes which are
inserted into a system
and which activate or
modify a process.



Input. Classic examples.




Input. New devices.




Input. New devices.

Input. Sensors.




Input evolution. The Key.


Emergence of new tools and libraries that minimize the learning curve for input devices.
New uses appears with new devices.
New functionalities for old inputs.
New functionalities for classical objects.



State of the art




Data processing (I)

Data processing
denotates the core of the
system. It process the
input data to generate
output and feedback ﬂow.
It represents the
“intelligence” of the
system.

Feedback

Feedback is absolutely
necessary for interaction.
With the storage system,
both represent the
“memory” of the system.



Output

Output is the term
denoting either an exit or
changes which exit a
system and which
activate/modify a
process.




Output. Classic devices.




Output. New possibilities.




Input / Output. New possibilities.




Working process

STEP 1: Conception
STEP 2: Research
STEP 3: Design
STEP 4: Build
STEP 5: Test

(If necessary, go back to setp 3 or 4)




Design guide for optimal results

-Situated in Time
-Situated in Space (embodied)
-Lived Experience
-Differentiating Self and Other
-Affordances
-Interactivity

Talking about the future

-New developments in
communications technologies
(M2M).
-New processing model (cloud)
-Smaller and cheaper devices.



New processing model: cloud.

-Storage and processing
capabilities holded by a cloud
system, not single devices.
-Devices just need to send/
receive info.




New devices.

-Smaller.
-Less processing capabilities
required.
-Wireless.
-Cheaper.




New environment: m2m

-DB registering devices data.
-Central processing unit.
-Capabilities for reading/
writing.
-Universal access.




M2M: Architecture




M2M: advantages

-Operational efﬁciency.
-Higher possibilities on data
analysis.
-New affordances.
-New oportunities. New
business models.
-Better maintenance.
- Horizontality.


M2M: commercial applications


-Fire control.
-Park solutions.
-Fleet location & Tracking
systems.
-Drive assistance.
-Smartgrids.
-Etc.


M2M: impact on other areas
La Cosa Radioactiva, 2012
Safecast, Japan, 2012
-Distributed inputs.
-Distributed outputs.
-Distributed data processing.
-Etc.
