Brief description An Empirically Derived Experimentally Validated Framework for Interactions in Information Environments. This project will investigate and design ways of interacting with the information infrastructure that maintain natural social interactions, take advantage of physical space and utilise our extensive human abilities to recognise and manipulate physical objects. \r\n\r\nExpected outcomes include: \r\n? a theoretical framework that describes the range of possible interactions that mediate information between the physical and virtual worlds. \r\n? a prototype instrumented information environment that demonstrates and validates naturalistic information transactions identified in the framework. \r\n\r\nThis research is highly innovative in its field. It will use an iterative cycle of video observation, interaction analysis, user-centred device design, deployment and evaluation.\r\n
