先日、IE Death March(http://iedeathmarch.org/)というIE6についてのブログを読んでいたとき、IE6がハマーh2やNYのツインタワーのテロの前にリリースされていることに少し驚きました。すでにリリースから8年がたち、まちがいなくIEシリーズの歴史上ブラウザとしては最も長きにわたりシェアをもっていたブラウザでしょう。
Even though the technology has been around for decades, only now are we starting to see mass production and adoption of touchscreen and gestural devices for the public. Jeff Han’s influential 2006 TED demonstration of his multitouch system, followed by the launches of Nintendo’s Wii, Apple’s iPhone, and Microsoft Surface, have announced a new era of interaction design, one where gestures in space and touches on a screen will be as prominent as pointing and clicking.
But how do you create products for this new paradigm? While most of us know how to design desktop and web applications, what do you need to know to design for interactive gestures?
This introduction to designing gestural interfaces will cover the basics: usability and ergonomics; a brief history of the technology; some elemental patterns of use; prototyping and documenting; and how to communicate that a gestural interface is present to users.
Inside Web Directions East での、私の連載もはじまって、1.5ヶ月間。私のパートは、もともと自分でサイト構築なんかしたことないし、そもそも興味もあまりなかったけれど、ウェブ運営・ウェブプロモーションの担当となった方や、技術的な背景にすこしとっつきにくいと感じているけれど、せっかく業務上関係しているウェブについてもっと知ってみたいという、非エンジニアの方を対称にしています。早い話、このブログの連載担当者の中で、私のブログだけが毛色が違うのはそういう理由があります。私がエンジニアじゃないというのも大きな要因ですけどね。
