Gone and back

Abstract

This installation explores an experimental research approach in interface design through a condensation-based ephemeral interface that employs digital augmented materiality. Inspired by the experience of using our fingers to write graffiti on foggy surfaces, the piece recreates this familiar scenario in a gallery space. By making use of the specific properties and semantics of the interface material, the design of the installation aims to explore the physical affordances of the ephemeral interface.The project aims to gain evidence to support the hypothesis that the physical affordances of such an ephemeral interface encourage intuitive interaction in user experience. The set up of the installation also aims to gather qualitative data for visual analysis of users' intuitive patterns captured during their interaction with the interface.
