Studies
( As of 2018, these studies are best viewed in Safari.)
My investigation centers on the creation of a series of studies; each one attempting to apply my language of manipulation both perceptually and computationally in order to create novel interaction from otherwise simple items and identify where the definition is ambiguous, logically problematic, of computationally non-applicable. They are listed in the order in which they appear in my
paper. These studies expose both opportunities for revision, more sophisticated questions about the nature of interactivity, and a
growing code library that provides computational equivalents to statements about manipulability. I have also created a
very simple GUI allowing for some limited direct manipulation of manipulable qualities.
