User Interactions programme: aims & objectives
The overall goal of this research programme was to facilitate new breakthrough services through the exploration, evolution, demonstration and evaluation of advanced user interaction modalities capable of stimulating new markets within the framework of personal lifestyle support services
The research aimed to identify, implement and demonstrate novel interaction modalities
Key phrases … Vision: facilitate new breakthrough services Research activities: explore, evolve, demonstrate and evaluate advanced
user interaction modalities Context: within the framework of personal lifestyle support services

Research areas
Effective device interaction modalities - the ways in which a user may interact with an increasing variety of personally-owned devices
Effective environmental interaction modalities - the ways in which a user may interact with technology embedded within her environment
Combinations of these two to create deeper interactions and service capabilities
An important complementary, but qualitatively different, element of the research is the requirement that user interaction approaches reflect user acceptance and can support emerging and/or potentially new business models

Personal device interaction modalities Pressure-based interactions for mobile devices
Pressure-based interactions can be tailored to specific tasks Examples of applications: pressure-based scrolling, pressure-
based zooming, pressure-based menus, pressure-augmented buttons and pressure-augmented displays and icons
Thermal feedback for mobile devices Temperature can be used as ambient feedback and can be
combined with other modalities, e.g. audio, visual etc Challenges included determining human perceptions of
temperature when static and mobile and … developing an understanding of tasks or services for which
thermal feedback can be useful

Environmental interaction modalities
Gesture as a method of interacting within a device ecology
Syntax and semantics of gestural interaction
Learnability and metaphor in the design of gestures for hands-free interaction
Transferability of gestures: generalizing gestures across different contexts and applications

Ecologies of interaction
Combining gesture and pressure input with a 3D visual display
Spatial coupling and multiple display environments Fixed spatial coupling through the relative placement and orientation of
hardware (fixed camera, fixed projector etc) Dynamic spatial coupling: mobile devices can be spatially reconfigured to
create different juxtapositions and arrangements that suit particular situations and activities

Lessons and open issues Novel interaction techniques and applications are under explored
The key challenge for the industry has been transformed from one of handset and telecommunication service innovation to one of global digital ecosystem development
Generativity: the ability of a system to generate new content, structure or behaviour without additional help or input from its original creators. A firm seeking to get value from its service innovation within a digital ecosystem must support generativity without losing control
Service composition – by users, by developers
Railway station paradox: richer content and richer interaction vs network capabilities
