  • Learning About Interactivity from Physical Toys
    Proc. of NORDES’07 (the Nordic Design Research Conference), Stockholm, 27-29.6.2007 LEARNING ABOUT INTERACTIVITY FROM PHYSICAL TOYS BY EVA HORNECKER PERVASIVE INTERACTION LAB, DEPT. OF COMPUTING THE OPEN UNIVERSITY MILTON KEYNES MK7 6AA, UK TEL: +44 (0)1908 654566 [email protected] Interaction Design is about designing examples. I here reflect on insights from a student exercise in analysing physical toys for their interaction interactions. We thus need to understand what qualities. The aims of this paper are to contribute to makes up (good) ‘interactivity’. This paper understanding interactivity and to exchange experiences discusses experiences with an exercise that aims in how to sensitize learners for qualities of interactivity. to sensitize students for interaction qualities and The exercise builds upon central notions from conceptual interaction design literature (Löwgren, 2001, 2002; to make them familiar with central concepts on Shedroff 2000, Crawford, 2002) on the nature of the nature of interactivity through analysis of interactivity and interaction qualities. Pairs of students physical toys. Reflection on students’ insights are asked to select physical toys, to play with them for a while, and to reflect on their experiences. Guiding and observations reveals how these abstract questions relate to the toy’s behaviour, reactions and notions interrelate in complex ways and expressivity, the expressivity and freedom it allows its provides vivid examples, giving evidence of the ‘user’, the constraints it sets, the size of the interaction space, locus of control with the ‘user’ or the toy, etc. exercise’s value. Analysing a non-digital object reduces the complexity of the exercise (effectively restricting objects’ functionality) INTRODUCTION and allows learners to focus on the interactivity itself – discussing general principles and basic concepts by Interaction Design is generally being defined as the looking at simple but fundamental examples.

This class is a challenging one, but it should also be a lot of fun. If you pay close attention to your classmates and to me, the instructor, and summon the courage to communicate with all of us honestly, frequently, quickly, and with compassion, I can almost completely guarantee you a positive, supportive, sane, and enjoyable experience in the class, and one that leads to a valuable learning outcome. Imagination and design are inexorably interlinked. The dreams we dream at night and by day can lead to the greatest accomplishments in art and literature, science and technology, industry and entertainment. But until we commit to a decision and act upon it we are not designing, only speculating. Even a small game or interactive media project requires us to make thousands of decisions; some of them major, many of them minor, although it might not always be apparent to us which type of decision is which. How can we stay in control of this decision-making process, ensuring that we make good-quality decisions, and that we don’t run out of time to make them? This class aims to show you how.
