Designing Tangible Lighting Control Interfaces
14
TL;DR: A prototype tangible user interface for lighting control is designed, and its usability and end-user experience is tested against a prototype conventional interface to derive a set of synthesized principles for designing tangible lighting control interfaces.

Abstract: This paper aims to design a prototype tangible user interface (TUI) for lighting control, and test its usability and end-user experience against a prototype conventional interface. Usability is concerned with easier understanding of control functions. End-user experience is concerned with explicating the quality of end-users' experience such as fun and pleasure of use. TUIs that offer end-users freedom of personal expression alongside functional information are proposed as a basis for making lighting control systems easier to understand and more pleasurable to use. Three dominant views on tangible interaction are explored to derive a set of synthesized principles for designing tangible lighting control interfaces. These principles—which determine what end-users should see and do while using lighting control interfaces and provide specific guidelines for enhancing their physical interaction possibilities—are used to design a prototype tangible interface. Several tests were performed to obtain end-u...

Experiential lighting : development and validation of perception-based lighting controls
Matthew Aldrich
- 01 Jan 2014
TL;DR: The design and validation of a natural interface for lighting is described by abstracting the manifold lighting parameters into a simpler set of controls and it is hypothesized that this natural ordering can be quantitatively extracted and analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe four areas of achievement: (i) methods of site evaluation and the creation of an inventory of the British nature resource in 1977; (ii) creation of wildlife areas in man-made habitats, abandoned farmland, and urban areas; (iii) management of nature reserves, now being codified in technical manuals for the management of particular habitat types; and (iv) problems of invasive, alien species that can dramatically reduce or even replace natural communities.

Emerging frameworks for tangible user interfaces
Brygg Ullmer,Hiroshi Ishii +1 more
TL;DR: The MCRpd interaction model for tangible interfaces as discussed by the authors is a conceptual framework for tangible user interfaces, which relates the role of physical and digital representations, physical control, and underlying digital models.
