Configurability in and Integration with the Environment: Diverse Physical Interfaces for Architecture Design (original) (raw)

We present several physical interfaces and how we assembled them to develop an environment for learning architecture design. Among others we are developing applications with barcode scanners, touch sensors, RFID tags, infrared remote control, video tracking, GPS receivers, and sensor boxes with electronic compass and acceleration sensors. In the environment input and output components are connected through an infrastructure. In a first round of experiments we have co-developed the components with the students for their practical design projects. We reflect on which features of the diverse prototype we developed contribute to understand configurability and integration with the environment.
