This project focuses on the creation of novel user interface building tools that help designers create interactive behaviors. The designers using these tools are not professional programmers, but have training in Interaction Design, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, or an equivalent. Focusing on interactive behaviors, means a focus on what an application does as opposed to how it looks. Today, interactive behaviors are often programmed by designers using scripting tools, or else designers collaborate with developers who implement the designs in conventional languages. Exploring interactive behaviors today requires programming, and the techniques available to designers are too difficult to use, and do not adequately support the designers? fundamental need to explore. The intellectual merit of the project is an understanding of how designers think about and create interactive behaviors, and the invention of new methods, models and representations that allow designers to more naturally and creatively design behaviors using computers. A novel programming environment that explicitly supports creative exploration of alternative versions and fosters collaboration is the outcome. The broader impacts of the tool will be to enable designers to explore more interactive behaviors and be more creative, which will ultimately improve the user interfaces that they create and that we use every day.

这个项目的重点是创建新颖的用户界面构建工具，帮助设计师创建交互行为。使用这些工具的设计师不是专业的程序员，但有交互设计，平面设计，工业设计或同等学历的培训。专注于交互行为，意味着专注于应用程序做什么，而不是它看起来如何。今天，交互式行为通常由设计人员使用脚本工具编程，或者设计人员与使用传统语言实现设计的开发人员合作。探索当今的交互行为需要编程，而设计师可用的技术太难使用，不能充分支持设计师？根本需要探索。该项目的智力价值是理解设计师如何思考和创造交互行为，以及新方法，模型和表示的发明，使设计师能够更自然和创造性地使用计算机设计行为。一个新颖的编程环境，明确支持创造性的探索替代版本和促进合作的结果。该工具更广泛的影响将是使设计师能够探索更多的交互行为，更具创造力，这将最终改善他们创建的用户界面和我们每天使用的用户界面。
