Interactive Gestures: Designing Gestural Interfaces by Dan Saffer

Public bathroom = interactive design labs of the world (motion, sensors, etc)

gestural remote control, t-mobile ‘minority report interface’

“We’re using our bodies evolved for hunting, gathering, and gratuitous violence for information-age tasks like word processing…”

“We’re in the midst of an interaction design revolution.”
- once you create a gestural interface, how do you let people know its there?

Two types of interactive gestures:
- Touch Screen (aka TUI, single & multi-touch)
- Freeform (wide variety of forms)

The secret sauce -> sensors!! (pressure, light, proximity, acoustic, tilt, motion,orientation)

- interface becomes an invisible thing
