Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed research will identify and analyse sensor-based interaction mechanisms in order to develop a taxonomy of human-machine interaction based on sensing. This will enable us to develop support for the construction of interactive systems that incorporate advanced sensing capabilities. Examples of advanced sensing capabilities include eye-/ motion-trackers and devices for detecting subtle human physiology (heart rate, brain signals etc). To date there has been no systematic exploration of interaction based on a sensing. The consequence of this is a lack of development supprt. This in turn means that the development of all but a few specific types of interactive systems that depend on sensor-based input sources occurs in an ad-hoc manner. Currently sensor-based systems development is both time-consuming and frustrating for system developers. This is a situation destined to get worse as more and varied sensor-based input technologies become available. The work proposed in this project builds upon our existing knowledge and experience of supporting the development of one particular class of sensor-based interactive systems, namely electrophyiologically interactive computer systems.
