Sketch Based Rapid Interaction Prototyping

This video presents a platform in which interaction designers can effectively and rapidly develop tangible interactive prototypes in by sketching. The study aims to build a platform that plays the role of sketch in hardware-software integrated interactive product design process. The platform consists of three components: a sketch based interactive concept exploration software application called STCtools, a set of physical user interface(PUI) widgets with a key converter and a video projection based augmented reality desk. For prototyping, a designer creates hardware and software sketches in pen based computers using STCtools. Sketches of hardware and software are drawn in a client device and composed in an electronic whiteboard in a server device. PUI widgets can be physically attached on a foam mockup or on a screen of the client device. The hardware-software integrated simulations are examined on a video projection based Augmented Reality desk (ARdesk). The sketch simulation is captured and projected onto a paper marker created with invisible infra-red ink. Tek-Jin Nam Department of Industrial Design KAIST
