Abstract

Pervasive and ubiquitous technologies have taken digital interfaces out of the traditional realms of computing devices and into the built environment. Increasingly, a combination of architectural, artistic and technological concerns characterise the design of new engaging experiences for people in augmented public spaces. The design of immersive interfaces represents a new chapter in HCI, as they need to address the human body as an active input mechanism, while considering cognitive and psychological implications. This paper represents an initial step in the evaluation of audio-visual aesthetic elements for the design of cuing mechanisms for events about to happen in an immersive interface, and points to initial findings regarding the utilisation of visual and sound effects as design elements in responsive environments.
