    Iterative design of tabletop GUIs using physics simulation
    (Mensch & Computer 2009: Grenzenlos frei!?, 2009) Roßberger, Philipp; von Luck, Kai
    Ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence point out the issue of usable soft- and hardware. Gadgets without manuals are crucial to the success of the vision of many computers per person. When we talk about seamless interaction, the gap between mental models provoked by the computer interface and the software below is a main indicator for ease-of-use. In this paper we discuss a desktop metaphor based on physics simulation as an antipole to symbolic iconic desktops nowadays. A physics-based user interface combined with gestures and touch technology promises a smaller gap between mental model and computer system for certain application areas. Furthermore we present a user-centered design process for rapid development of physics-based applications, which was used to create a prototype on basis of our tabletop application framework DynAmbient. Our approach enabled us to improve the usability of the application through several fast user participatory development iterations.

    New Impressions in Interaction Design: A Task Taxonomy for Elastic Displays
    (i-com: Vol. 17, No. 3, 2018) Kammer, Dietrich; Müller, Mathias; Wojdziak, Jan; Franke, Ingmar S.
    Novel shape-changing interfaces promise to provide a rich haptic experience for human-computer interaction. As a specific instance of shape-changing interfaces, Elastic Displays provide large interaction surfaces that can be temporally deformed using force-touch. The unique property of these displays is that they automatically return to their initial flat state. Recently, several review and position papers have stimulated a discussion towards consolidating the knowledge about shape-changing interfaces. The knowledge about Elastic Displays is similarly scattered across multiple publications from recent years. This paper contributes a task taxonomy based on productive uses of Elastic Displays found in literature, on the web, and in our interaction lab. This taxonomy emphasizes tasks, but also encompasses general aspects regarding content types, visualization technology, and interaction styles. All aspects of the taxonomy are illustrated using case studies from literature.
