ABSTRACT
Tangible computer-human interfaces is an important and active research area. But, few people are working on ways to easily program these systems. My work addresses this need by developing a physical programming language. This research comes out of our work in developing tools for children to build room-sized storytelling environments. In this extended abstract, I will describe the motivation for my research, my proposed work and design methods.

Physical programming: designing tools for children to create physical interactive environments
CHI '02: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPhysical interactive environments can come in many forms: museum installations, amusement parks, experimental theaters, and more. Programming these environments has historically been done by adults, and children, as the visiting participants, have been ...
