Personal Technology

Interaction Ivrea is exploring how to use our senses and perception as the origin for designing technology using interactive physical computing to enrich our social interactions.

Can we make our interactions with machines as enriching as our interactions with living organisms? How can we simplify our interactions with machines even as they are continually increasing in complexity?

The focus here is on making these kinds of interactions with machines more engaging, stimulating, and rich. Machines ought to be aware of their environment, adapt to it, and be able to modify their responses. Our projects seek to apply the wealth of knowledge from academic research into design research, and investigate how to use behaviour and nonverbal channels (form, sound, colour, movement) to create intuitive, fluid and continuous communication.

Tecnologie Personali

Interaction-Ivrea sta esplorando l'uso dei nostri sensi e la percezione come origine della progettazione di tecnologie che usino la digitazione interattiva per amplificare le relazioni sociali.

Possiamo fare s� che la nostra interazione con le macchine sia cos� completa quanto la nostra interazione con gli organismi viventi? Come possiamo semplificare la nostra interazione con gli strumenti mentre questi continuano a diventare pi� complessi?

L'attenzione, oggi, verte sul rendere questi modelli di interazione con meccanismi pi� intriganti, stimolanti e ricchi. I dispositivi dovrebbero essere consapevoli dell'ambiente che li circonda, vi si dovrebbero adattare e dovrebbero essere in grado di modificare le loro risposte. I nostri progetti indagano su come applicare le ricchezze della ricerca accademica alla ricerca nel design, e studiano il modo in cui utilizzare modalit� comportamentali e non verbali (forma, suono, colore, movimento) per creare una comunicazione intuitiva, fluida e continua.
