This work proposes and evaluates a theory and method for implicit interaction design. People rely on implicit interaction to communicate queries, offers, responses, and feedback to one another; this research posits that these interactions can be applied analogously to the design of interactive devices to improve people's ability to "communicate"with objects whose behaviors are dynamic and demonstrative. This multiple-method research approach consists of three components. First, we present a theoretical framework and methodology for implicit interaction design. Next, we explore and experimentally evaluate the theory by applying it to two concrete challenges: the design of (1) automatic doors, and (2) electronic whiteboards. Through these efforts, we are able to show the applicative value of the theory, evaluate its utility and begin to explore its broader implications for the wide range of interactive technology fields.
