GoCoBa: Interactive installation design applied on combination of context and people

Abstract

The combination of people and context is easy to be neglected in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Context always affects unconsciously behaviors of people, and it is inessential for people. Though observing realistic environment and analysis, we aim to design a system for context, object, and space interaction in sports bar. We also search some interactive installation cases to find the related cases in order to understand the possible interactive patterns. According to case and behavior practice to design prototype, we made GoCoBa, an interactive design for bar goers to immerse in the context. To sum up, GoCoBa system using cup as physical computing and context computing help bar goers have interaction with the context. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
