+ | ==Summary== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By 2020 computer interfaces will have become embedded into the environment, | ||
+ | |||
+ | However datasets continue to grow across fields of research and practice, already surpassing the practical limits of end-user programming tools such as Excel in some fields. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As datasets continue to grow in size and complexity across fields, there will be opportunities for developing hybrid systems which take advantage of new modes of embodied HCI, but applied to higher order interactions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The fundamental scientific problem to solve in order to implement the technology and get the benefits by then is in how to map the abstractions of formal language to embodied interactions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our research questions are: How can linguistic interfaces be integrated with emerging, embodied modes of human-computer interaction? | ||
+ | |||
+ | The design of these language environments needs to be led by the needs of end user programmers from the start, through brainstorming, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The challenges we will be facing are that the needs of end user programmers differ strongly from the computer scientists and professional programmers who generally lead the design of programming languages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are risks in taking a cross-domain approach, as research into Visual Programming and Tangible Interfaces have largely only seen success in particular specialised domains. | ||
