Some content on interactive information technologies. Copyright (c) 1993-2007, Thomas Baudel 2007-04-08T18:30:02Z Thomas Baudel http://thomas.baudel.name/index.html http://thomas.baudel.name/HighC 2007-04-08T18:30:02Z 2007-04-08T18:30:02Z

HighC is a music creation tool. Its goal is to make music composition as simple and direct as sketching. The concepts behind this instrument, most notably its ability to create a sense of synesthesia have kept fascinating me, as I think they reveal a lot of insights on what human computer interaction is about: transforming objects made of bits into representations made of atoms and vice-versa.

Assuming a competitive, market-based economy, any software of sufficiently broad usage is bound to become free, as its marginal production cost is null. The free software movement is not much more than the social expression of this basic economical fact. Software distinguishes itself from other works of the mind, such as music, in that its originality is by no means a part of its value or utility. As a consequence, the software industry is bound to live on the margins generated by software innovation and specialization.

This course presents a panorama of current orientations of applied HCI research. Beneath the waves of novel application paradigms, such as the world wide web or ubiquitous computing, lie some fundamental technologies that we believe should greatly amplify the impact of those application paradigms in the years to come. By means of several examples, we will present some of the directions we think most relevant : morphology of interaction, information visualization, interactive design of direct manipulation interfaces, component-oriented development and business rules management systems.

TML is a drawing editor experimenting with fluid interaction techniques and full screen user interface. This combines a range of quickly implemented user interface techniques inspired from past research, such as work on the hotbox, Ligne Claire, toolglass and magic lenses. Check out the interactive demo.
