One of these, Enodia tangibles—designed in part specifically toward this book—is summarized here at more length. These are accompanied by open source (for non commercial use) resources for virtual and physical reproduction. Facets of these artifacts are discussed within the main book (e.g., Section 1.5 and Chapter 5). Fig ure A.1 provides several views of these tangibles, with features ranging from 1mm to 10m scale and contexts from wearable to habitable. The tangibles illustrated in Figures A.1–A.18 began at the Dagstuhl Seminar (19232), on Ubiquitous Computing Education held in June 2019. Stimulated by the hexagonal-tiled “Settlers of Catan” (of which more than 30 million copies have been sold in more than 40 languages), the COMB hexagonal tangible tiles of Rossmy and Wiethoff [2018, 2019], and a Dagstuhl set of hexagonal sticky-notes, Ullmer, Shaer, Konkel, Rinott, Mills, and Zeamer illustrated a set of hexagonal tiles express ing ubiquitous computing educational concepts (Figure A.2(a)). When extruded into 3D space, such hexagonal tiles suggested enhanced manipulability (including toward collaboration) and supplementary visual real estate on their sides (Fig ure A.2(b)). Figure A.2(c) depicts a 3D printed physical prototype co-designed with Dr. Alexandre Siqueira, including integrated electronics for internal illumination. Shaer suggested the use of such tokens to interactively represent and manipulate facets of this book.

Unlike programs passed two or three decades ago on behalf of the Lockheed and Chrysler corporations, these new programs are open to all qualifying companies within the specified industries. Companies can apply for a loan guarantee that covers most of the loan amount, usually in the range of 80 percent to 90 percent. In each of these four new programs, the Congress has created a board to judge the applications, and the boards have in turn hired a staff and outside consultants to analyze these applications and make recommendations on whether the specific applications should be approved. Because the programs involve credit markets, a Federal Reserve Board delegate has been appointed to the loan guarantee boards, and I have been that delegate for each of the four boards.","PeriodicalId":378123,"journal":{"name":"Weaving Fire into Form","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131888506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we survey dozens of these examples, focusing on interfaces that were deployed and evaluated “in the wild” [Rogers and Marshall 2017] within real-world settings, including homes, classrooms, and indoor and outdoor public places. In particular, we survey three dominant application domains: learning, social connectedness, and health and wellbeing. However, these application domains are neither mutually exclusive nor exhaustive as we have seen a wide expansion of tangible that cross domain boundaries and address novel use scenarios. When pos sible, we will indicate sister surveys, which further focus on particular application areas. For example, Shaer and Hornecker’s [2010] survey of application domains for TEI covers additional application domains, which we do not survey here.

In the first decades of digital computation, both the input and output to computational systems were generally physical [Bush 1931, Hartree 1946, Ceruzzi 1981]. For example, with the 1940s ENIAC computer, data input and output were channeled via paper card or tape [Alt 1972], with programs and their parame ters expressed through thousands of cables, sockets, knobs, and switches [Wilkes 1967]. Influenced by pioneering systems such as SAGE [Astrahan et al. 1957] and Sketchpad [Sutherland 1964, Sutherland et al. 1969], the input and especially output of computational systems progressively shifted to virtual, screen-based forms. This transformation has yielded user experiences that can be seen as visually rich but sensorily impoverished, engaging a very limited fragment of our human abilities to sense and engage our world. For example, consider the “presence” of a given computational application. From a few meters’ distance, whether your friend is working on a laptop or tablet, smartphone or HMD—can you tell if she is bal ancing a spreadsheet, playing Solitaire, flying a drone, or hacking a genome? Are you sure? Compare this with many of our most basic human engagements. In cultures where meeting a person is often accompanied by a handshake, the handshake carries many cues.
