Abstract

The new ubiquitous assistive devices have increased design space for innovative highly interactive design. Designers can no longer rely on a design process based on the known interaction idioms. This impedes the design process because the non-interactive material - sketches, scenarios, storyboards - does not provide designers the essential talk-backs needed to be able to make reliable assessments of the design characteristics. Whereas, interactive prototypes provide these talk-backs. What if we think of code as a design material, programming as a design craft, and what if the designer's repertoire include material consciousness with code?
