Paper Abstract:
|
The English language is but one of many languages globally in use, yet it seems to dominate the world of automation in its
application to computer programming. Our research considers a programming environment in which the written word is
not relevant; instead of text, we consider the use of physical objects to represent simple computer programs. This paper
presents a reality in which artefacts, based on culturally significant objects, are chosen and arranged by the layperson in
order to control the behaviour of light bulbs in a domestic environment. This work incorporates aspects of Gestalt theory
and visual perception theory. We give an overview of prior work and conclude with an example. |
