Description:
Research at the HCT lab focuses on the relationship between people and machines. The approach we take is that interaction aesthetics drive relationships that are at play as people learn to use devices in their external environment. An intimate relationship forms as people embody devices providing an aesthetic through control. I'll explore the nature of relationships and how that impacts design of new interfaces. I will discuss a few examples from the HCT lab demonstrating some of the ideas. The examples include: Glove-TalkII, Iamascope, 2 Hearts musical system, and other research projects. See http://hct.ece.ubc.ca/research for a list of the project going on at the HCT lab.
