Interactive spaces, smart devices, internet of things -- the reality is that our world is becoming ever-more-populated with devices that can proactively provide information to end-users and reactively receive input. The challenge with input and output spaces where every surface and every thing is augmented with computation is that this tsunami of computation becomes a cacophony the user can neither comprehend or control. In this grant, I set out a research agenda that seeks explore the limits of personal device computation, world-embedded computation, human physiology, and human cognition to design, prototype and evaluate new immersive and ubiquitous experiences within richly interactive environments. My research activities over the five year interval of this grant will be threefold. 1. I will leverage my expertise in designing gestural interaction on commodity personal devices (wearables, handhelds) to explore both how to communicate affordances and capture input within computationally rich environments. 2. I will prototype domain-specific rich interactive spaces and evaluate these spaces with end-users. 3. I will explore the limits of cognitive load, attention, privacy, aesthetics, and embodiment within these spaces. To explore this vision of a richly interactive yet cognitively manageable world, I will leverage research expertise in qualitative inquiry which I have developed over the past three years to guide design; I will leverage the infrastructure I and collaborators have obtained through an infrastructure grant (CFI/LFI Grant on Fully Interactive Physio-Digital Spaces -- co-investigator) to prototype experiences; and I will leverage current student research thrusts that I supervise in gestural interfaces, information seeking, large display interaction, human-in-the-loop computational intelligence, and gaming to jumpstart research projects. Methodologies will include rapid ethnography to guide design, advanced software and hardware engineering to capture and communicate information, quantitative methods and experiential evaluation techniques to evaluate success, and real-world prototype deployments to broaden the impact and presence of this research.

交互空间、智能设备、物联网--现实是，我们的世界越来越多地充斥着可以主动向最终用户提供信息并被动接收输入的设备。在输入和输出空间中，每一个表面和每一件事物都被计算所增强，这一挑战是，计算的海啸变成了用户既不能理解也不能控制的杂音。 在这项资助中，我提出了一个研究议程，旨在探索个人设备计算，世界嵌入式计算，人类生理学和人类认知的局限性，以设计，原型设计和评估丰富的交互环境中新的沉浸式和无处不在的体验。 我的研究活动在五年的时间间隔，这个赠款将是三倍。 1.我将利用我在商品个人设备（可穿戴设备，手持设备）上设计手势交互的专业知识，探索如何在计算丰富的环境中传达启示和捕获输入。 2.我将对特定领域的丰富交互空间进行原型设计，并与最终用户一起评估这些空间。 3.我将探索认知负荷、注意力、隐私、美学和这些空间中的体现的限制。 为了探索这个丰富的互动但认知可管理的世界的愿景，我将利用我在过去三年中开发的定性调查研究专业知识来指导设计;我将利用我和合作者通过基础设施拨款获得的基础设施（CFI/LFI关于完全交互式物理数字空间的赠款----共同研究员），以原型体验;我将利用我在手势界面，信息搜索，大型显示交互，人机交互计算智能和游戏方面监督的当前学生研究重点来启动研究项目。 方法将包括快速人种学来指导设计，先进的软件和硬件工程来捕获和交流信息，定量方法和经验评估技术来评估成功，以及现实世界的原型部署，以扩大本研究的影响和存在。
