Visually Prototyping Physical UIs through Statecharts

Abstract: Processor enabled products, each with its own user interface, have pervaded everyday life. To facilitate interaction design exploration for novel devices, we have developed d.tools, a design tool for prototyping the bits and the atoms of physical user interfaces in concert. It enables designers without specialized engineering or programming knowledge to quickly build functional interactive prototypes. d.tools offers a visual authoring environment that allows for drag-and-drop specification of interaction models for tangible user interfaces in a matter of minutes.
