Week 8

In this week's lecture, Greg talked about the alternate modes of interaction which are:
  • Non-keyboard/mouse
    • Tangible interaction
    • Embodied interaction
    • Augmented reality

The lecture was focussed on giving good examples of products that used non-keyboard/ mouse  interaction. Here are some of the examples given:
  • Marble Answering machine - https://vimeo.com/19930744
    • This concept takes the very complicated answering machine into something physical
  • Reactable
    • An electronic musical instrument with a tabletop tangible user interface.
  • Super angry bird (tangible controller)
  • Big mac index
  • Human diagram
  • Daily stack

The following photos were trying out different positions of the left, right and space button for PacMan. This concluded that the first photo position is the easiest of these two.



We then tried another interesting way of playing Pacman:



Lastly, I tried setting up the piano game:
