Interaction Design for Movement-based Interface in Multisensory Stimulation Games
Local do Estágio
Coimbra
Enquadramento
The Interaction Design sub-area of Human-Computer Interaction constitutes a rich field of scientific study, with many challenges and methodological open issues. The particular context of using Digital Games for Multisensory Stimulation and Learning with challenged audiences has been a target of research in previous studies at CISUC. In this context we intent to study the potential and limitations for employing natural interaction, movement-based, techniques with mapping of user movement and gestures, as with with Kinect interfaces, for input in game environments.
Objetivo
This project follows a Design Research approach, and will aim at the design and prototyping of specific interaction model solutions, towards the following goals:
a) understand the current state-of-the-art in interaction design
b) map interaction challenges in sensory stimulation gaming contexts;
c) propose new interaction design solutions;
d) evaluate interaction design proposals by studying their usability;
To achieve these goals we propose to adapt existing game prototypes for experimentation and logging usage data.
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 1
A1. (M1-M3) State of the art research - research and document the relevant SoA, publications and software review, for the study of the problem at hand; detailed characterization of the problem to be solved stating specific goals and requirements;
A2. (M3 - M4) Design Proposal - conceiving of an interaction design proposal for the specific context, mapping of assumptions and milestones for the rest of the project; identification of quality attributes, and architectural drivers for the proposed solution, including interaction models and user interface draft
Plano de Trabalhos - Semestre 2
A3. (M5 - M9) Prototyping - implementation of a proof-of-concept prototype, tuning or corrections based on evaluation results;
A4. (M9) Evaluation - definition of evaluation criteria and method; performance of evaluation and analysis of results
A5. (M10 - M11) Statement of Learning - production of paper/thesis with process report and reflection on knowledge production
