Interactivity (I)

Interactivity is an overused, underdefined concept.



Interactivity (II)

Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another.



Interactivity (III)

Contingency View. Three Levels on interactivity.

1. Noninteractive.When a message is not related to previous messages.

2. Reactive. When a message is related only to one immediately previous message.

3. Interactive. When a message is related to a number of previous messages and to the relationship between them.



Messages & Interaction

Interaction happens via messages sent between systems and users.

Text, speech, colors, visual feedback, mechanical input, physical input.

Keep things simple.

Anticipatable.

Design: “Principle of least surprise”.

Let users learn.



Interfaces & Interaction

Interface sits between actors (shared medium) and facilitates its communication.

Determines:- Functionality, efficiency, clarity, tone, attractiveness, simplicity.



Designed Experiences

Human attempt to structure an environment to create a whole set of interactions for

a human participant.

MediatedWebs, installations, museums, theaters, etc.

Non mediatedArchitecture, interior design, museums, event planning, storytelling (in person).

Interactive System



Input. Definition.

Input is the term denoting either an entrance or c h a n g e s w h i c h a r e inserted into a system and which activate or modify a process.



Input. Classic examples.

Input evolution. The Key.

Emergence of new tools and libraries that minimize the learning curve for input devices.New uses appears with new devices.New functionalities for old inputs.New functionalities for classical objects.

Data processing (I)

D a t a p r o c e s s i n g denotates the core of the system. It process the input data to generate output and feedback flow.

I t r e p r e s e n t s t h e “ in te l l igence” o f the system.

Feedback

Feedback is absolutely necessary for interaction.

With the storage system, b o t h r e p r e s e n t t h e “memory” of the system.



Output

Output i s t he te rm denoting either an exit or changes which exit a s y s t e m a n d w h i c h a c t i v a t e / m o d i f y a process.

Talking about the future

-New developments in communications technologies (M2M).

-New processing model (cloud)

-Smaller and cheaper devices.



New processing model: cloud.

-Storage and processing capabilities holded by a cloud system, not single devices.

-Devices just need to send/receive info.



New devices.

-Smaller.

-Less processing capabilities required.

-Wireless.

-Cheaper.



New environment: m2m

-DB registering devices data.

-Central processing unit.

-Capabilities for reading/writing.

-Universal access.



M2M: Architecture



M2M: advantages

-Operational efficiency.

-Higher possibilities on data analysis.

-New affordances.

-New oportunities. New business models.

-Better maintenance.

- Horizontality.



M2M: commercial applications

-Fire control.

-Park solutions.

-Fleet location & Tracking systems.

-Drive assistance.

-Smartgrids.

-Etc.



M2M: impact on other areas

-Distributed inputs.

-Distributed outputs.

-Distributed data processing.

-Etc.
