Proxemic interactions with and around digital surfaces
Nicolai Marquardt · 2013
This tutorial introduces strategies how the knowledge of people's and devices' proxemic relationships can be applied to interaction design. The goal is to inform the design of future proxemic-aware devices that -- similar to people's natural expectations and use of proxemics -- allow increasing connectivity and interaction possibilities when in proximity to people, other devices, or objects. Towards this goal, the tutorial introduces strategies how the fine-grained knowledge of proxemic relationships between entities can be exploited in interaction design for digital surfaces (e.g., large interactive displays, or portable tablets).
