PROJECT BOOKLET: INTERACTION AS ARTEFACT
Non-visual intuition with everyday interfaces. Interface As Artefact - Cameras Project is the reinvention to inspire us to interact with our everyday products by a non-visual intuition. Interactions that was made to be perceived by the subjective senses of distance, size and angle. These sensations are the visualisation of the unseen motions of a camera's functions.
Camera No.1 / Focus - Sense of Distance
Camera designed to interact by the sense of distance. By adjust the length of the handle to change the camera's focus function.
Camera No.2 / Shutter speed - Sense of Angle
Camera designed to interact by the sense of angle. By press down the the lens cover to take picture and effect the camera's shutter speed function.
Camera No.3 / Aperture - Sense of Size
Camera designed to interact by the sense of size. By adjust the size of the lens ring to change the camera's aperture setting function.
When the invention of touch screen drive the development of interface design - Technological Determinism.The absence of these artefacts’ primary functionality indicates this “another route” – non-visual interfaces which interact by the senses of kinesthesia – for products to be developed to empower the human intuition with objects’ essence.
. How to interact with these products by non-visual human intuition?
. How will the redesigned interaction informs form?
. How to relate the awareness of changing distances, sizes and angles with the motions of a camera and be recognised by our brain?
