Forms

GUI


Graphical User Interface - operating systems; mouse / touchpad...
                                                                                 graphical layout
                                                                                 windows, icons, menu, Pointer (WIMP)




Ubiquitous computing


“Ubiquitous computing is roughly the opposite of virtual reality. Where virtual reality puts people inside a computer-generated world, ubiquitous computing forces the computer to live out here in the world with people.”




Tangible Computing




- Giving physical form to digital information and computation
- Objects replace the icons of the WIMP interface
- Actions and movements trigger processes and data exchanges
