Creating Interaction Scenarios With a New Graphical User Interface

TL;DR

This paper introduces MICE, a system enabling humans to create interaction scenarios with machines using a new visual programming language called scenL, emphasizing human control in ambient environments.

Contribution

It presents MICE and scenL, a novel graphical user interface for designing machine interaction scenarios that enhances human involvement in human-machine interactions.

Findings

Successful implementation of scenL for scenario creation

Enhanced human control in ambient machine environments

Potential for improved human-machine collaboration

Abstract

The field of human-centered computing has known a major progress these past few years. It is admitted that this field is multidisciplinary and that the human is the core of the system. It shows two matters of concern: multidisciplinary and human. The first one reveals that each discipline plays an important role in the global research and that the collaboration between everyone is needed. The second one explains that a growing number of researches aims at making the human commitment degree increase by giving him/her a decisive role in the human-machine interaction. This paper focuses on these both concerns and presents MICE (Machines Interaction Control in their Environment) which is a system where the human is the one who makes the decisions to manage the interaction with the machines. In an ambient context, the human can decide of objects actions by creating interaction scenarios with a new visual programming language: scenL.
