Interaction modalities, technologies and tools for interactive art
Presentation about interaction modalities and technologies that can be used for interactive art projects, with emphasis on devices available at the School of Arts (Catholic University of Portugal), Porto.
• Examples of technologies and tools that can be used to implement those interactions o Available tools at EArtes/UCP • Most prominent people/references in these areas • No code (for now)
that contains information. Waving goodbye is a gesture. Pressing a key on a keyboard is not a gesture because the motion of a finger on its way to hitting a key is neither observed nor significant. All that matters is which key was pressed". -- Kurtenbach and Hulteen (1990), cited by Billinghurst & Buxton (2011)
• Various technologies for detecting touch o which have different limits for the number of simultaneous touches it can detect • Gestures o Fingers only (small devices) o Hands/forearms (large(r) devices, depending on technology used) o 2d movements only • Number of users o one - personal devices (phones, tablets) o few - large surfaces (tables, walls)
o Laser light plane (LLP) technique (see Sandler 2012) o Multi-touch surface (in development) o Vertical orientation o One-two person interaction o Fingers, hands

cameras) • Various kinds of surfaces/scenes • Gestures o Varied, depends on positioning of camera § fingers § hands § whole body o mostly 2d, but can also infer distance o not very precise § Can be very precise with controlled conditions
uses bluetooth to connect to a computer o Has various accelerometer sensors to sense movement o IR sensor for pointing • Gestures o 3d movement, rotation o combined with the sensor bar, allows pointing gestures • Various wiimotes available @ EArtes
distance of each pixel to the camera (Borenstein 2012). • Gestures o Detects a "point cloud" - pixels and their distances to the camera o With extra software it's possible to detect limbs (skeleton) positioning o More accurate than simple cameras • Two available @ EArtes Gestural interaction: Kinect

information, employing physical artifacts both as representations and controls for computational media. TUIs couple physical representations (e.g., spatially manipulable physical objects) with digital representations (e.g., graphics and audio), yielding user interfaces that are computationally mediated, but generally not identifiable as "computers" per se." - Ullmer & Ishii (2000)

inventing, designing, building, or using miniature body-borne computational and sensory devices. Wearable computers may be worn under, over, or in clothing, or may also be themselves clothes" (Mann, 2012)

interactive physical systems by the use of software and hardware that can sense and respond to the analog world. (...) In the broad sense, physical computing is a creative framework for understanding human beings' relationship to the digital world. In practical use, the term most often describes handmade art, design or DIY hobby projects that use sensors and microcontrollers to translate analog input to a software system, and/or control electro-mechanical devices such as motors, servos, lighting or other hardware." - (Physical computing 2012)
