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.

互动空间、智能设备、物联网--现实情况是，我们的世界正变得越来越多地充斥着能够主动向最终用户提供信息并被动接受输入的设备。在输入和输出空间中，每一个表面和每一个事物都增加了计算，这一挑战在于，这种计算海啸变成了用户既不能理解也不能控制的刺耳声音。在这笔拨款中，我列出了一个研究议程，旨在探索个人设备计算、世界嵌入计算、人类生理学和人类认知的极限，以在丰富的交互环境中设计、制作原型和评估新的沉浸式和无处不在的体验。在这笔赠款的五年时间间隔内，我的研究活动将分为三个方面。1.我将利用我在设计商用个人设备(可穿戴设备、手持设备)上的手势交互方面的专业知识，探索如何在计算丰富的环境中传达负担和捕获输入。2.我将构建特定领域的丰富交互空间的原型，并与最终用户一起评估这些空间。3.我将探索这些空间中认知负荷、注意力、隐私、审美和体现的极限。为了探索丰富互动但认知可控的世界这一愿景，我将利用我在过去三年中开发的定性探究方面的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(CFI/LFI关于完全互动的物理-数字空间的拨款--联合研究员)获得的基础设施来构建体验原型；我将利用我在手势界面、信息搜索、大型显示器互动、人在环中计算智能和游戏方面监督的当前学生研究推动力来启动研究项目。方法论将包括指导设计的快速人种学、捕获和交流信息的先进软件和硬件工程、评估成功的量化方法和经验评估技术，以及扩大这项研究的影响和存在的真实世界原型部署。
