User interface of interactive media art in a stereoscopic environment

Abstract

Interactive Media art communicates with audiences using many interfaces. The audience experiences each interface differently. Two different kinds of art experiences can be generated using the same themes. Using a touch screen monitor and Microsoft Kinect motion sensors, in the same gallery environment, we surveyed visitor experiences with both forms of art in a stereoscopic environment. We discovered that motion interfaces are better than touch interfaces for interactive media art, with the changes in depth providing more powerful stereoscopic audience experiences. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
