Tangible Interaction for Design
Edited by:
Ellen Yi-Luen Do & Mark D Gross
This special issue of
AIEDAM will be devoted to papers concerned with
Tangible Interaction for Design.
Following decades in which design
computation was almost exclusively the domain of software, today many
investigators are building hybrid systems and tools that, in one way
or another, bridge the divide between physical "real world" artifacts
and computational artifacts. On one hand the rapid rise and
popularity of mass-customization, rapid prototyping and manufacturing
raises questions about the kinds of software systems and tools that
might make these hardware technologies useful for designing. On the
other hand, advances in microcontroller and communications
technologies has led to a wave of embedding computation in physical
artifacts and environments - that is, tangible interaction.
The
"Tangible Interaction for Design" special issue calls for papers that
populate this space of hybrid computational-physical systems,
specifically in relation to design. Topics might include (but are not
limited to) the following:
- systems, methods, and tools for rapid prototyping and
manufacturing in design;
- AI techniques for tangible user interaction in engineering design
applications and other design domains;
- computational reasoning about physical and tangible artifacts and
productions;
- physical artifacts as external representations and how they are
coupled to internal representations;
- human centered computing issues for tangible user interactions;
- theories and procedures to analyze or generate tangible
interaction for design;
- tools and techniques for tangible design artifacts to support
design;
- tangible interaction with design software;
- design methods for tangible interactivity;
- toolkits for tangible interaction design.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed by at least three
reviewers. The selection for publication would be made on the basis of
these reviews.
