Research
Original research into zone-based interaction architecture and human-interface behavior.
Core Domains
Research Areas
Zone Behavior Dynamics
How users navigate and interact with dynamically assigned zones on digital surfaces. Examining touch patterns, dwell times, and gesture preferences across populations.
Multi-Surface Architecture
Research into how the Poindexter 471 architecture applies across different hardware, from 3-inch wearables to 85-inch commercial displays.
Contextual Adaptation
Studying how interaction zones should adapt based on user context, environmental conditions, and application state to optimize usability.
Cross-Modal Interaction
Exploring the intersection of touch, haptic feedback, visual cues, and audio confirmation in zone-based interaction environments.
Publications
