Making Sense of Sensing Systems: Five Questions for Designers and Researchers

Via Making Sense of Sensing Systems: Five Questions for Designers and Researchers, here are Belloti’s �five questions� on sensing-based interface. Designers of user interfaces for standard applications, devices, and systems rarely have to worry about questions of the following sort:


• When I address a system, how does it know I am addressing it?



• When I ask a system to do something how do I know it is attending?



• When I issue a command (such as save, execute or delete), how does the system know what it relates to?



• How do I know the system understands my command and is correctly executing my intended action?



• How do I recover from mistakes?
