“…In multichanneling the aim is to provide computational means for responding to users' need for 'anytime and anywhere' access to information and functionality [24]. For example designing a web service that supports multichanneling would require applying scalable content and interaction techniques that enable operating the functionality on interaction devices other than the primary device [13] [17]. These services often employ redundant or complementary devices where a subset of core functionality is extracted from, e.g., the desktop version to the mobile instance of the service.…”

“…Studies on multi-device usability or horizontal usability namely focus on transitions between devices and how tasks are picked up after these transitions [13][4][20] [16]. Denis and Karsenty [4] have proposed a conceptual framework of inter-usability that proposes design principles addressing inter-device consistency, transparency and adaptability.…”

Many web-based services utilize both desktop and mobile terminals in delivering content and functionality to their users. In terms of user experience (UX), the overall chain of interactions, including mobile and non-mobile settings, becomes a central design target. The aim of this study was to investigate, what are the key elements of user experience associated with these, crossplatform interactions. This paper presents the findings from a four week long field study with three web-based cross-platform services. During the study, participants used the services on both their PCs and mobile devices. Diaries and interviews were used for gathering users' experiences with the services. Based on our findings and reflection with related work, we argue that central elements of cross-platform service UX include fit for crosscontextual activities, flow of interactions and content, and perceived service coherence. We propose an initial conceptual framework of cross-platform user experience. The framework can be used to guide the design of cross-platform web services, as it draws attention to elements of user experience that are essentially influenced by the characteristics of cross-platform settings.

“…Within cross-device interaction, a lot of research has been conducted on how multiple devices can be used at the same time to make tasks more manageable or to understand which interaction technique best suits a given context. Music production is an environment where several devices are used concurrently in a complex, dynamic and unpredictable way and so offers an interesting testing ground for exploring new cross-device interactions, and opportunities for enhancing user experience [3,16,17]. Music mixing happens on a computer with software designed to emulate analog mixing consoles [14].…”

When workspaces for commercial music production are digitized they are generally configured based on existing analogue music production environments, using the "channel strip" metaphor to organize the multiplicity of devices involved in the process. The channel strip metaphor is derived from the traditional design of mixing consoles with parallel sliders acting as separate channels. An alternative to this is the "stage" metaphor, which visually represents sound elements as discrete actors on a stage for manipulating settings. To study cross-device interactions in music mixing, we designed the Spatial Mixer, an app that uses the stage metaphor, to work in concert with Ableton Live, an existing music composition program. A study of Spatial Mixer in use showed that the stage metaphor and spatial visualizations of music tracks and effects was intuitive for users to interact with and helped them work across both pieces of software to effectively create their musical composition.

“…With this focus on interaction we have, as a community, invented and developed a number of methods and approaches to interaction. We have developed approaches for Interactive Systems Design that are technology-centered, including approaches for requirement analyses (e.g., Mylopoulos et al, 1999;Kawaguchi, 2003), interface design (e.g., Miller, 1997;Souza et al, 2000;Oliveira & Rocha, 2005;Blackwell, 2006;Ruthven, 2008), design guidelines (e.g., Häkkilä & Mäntyjärvi, 2006) and UI principles (e.g., Beier & Vaughan, 2003). There has also been a long tradition of research into usability studies (e.g., Gould & Lewis, 1985;Nielsen & Molich, 1990;Jeffries et al, 1991;Sauro & Kindlund, 2005;Hollingsed & Novick, 2007;Frøkjaer & Hornbaek, 2008;Pilgrim, 2008) and methods for evaluating user performance (e.g., Card et al, 1980;Kolehmainen et al, 2008) and UI efficiency (e.g., Amant et al, 2003).…”

Interaction is a core concept in the fields of Ubiquitous computing, Ambient systems design, and generally in the fields of HCI and Interaction Design. Despite this, a lack of knowledge about the fundamental character of interaction still exists. Researchers have explored interaction from the viewpoints of user-centered design and design of graphical user interfaces, where interaction stands for the link between technology and humans or denotes the use aspect. A framework is proposed for exploring interaction as a design space in itself between a human and the technology. It is proposed that this framework for interaction as a design space for Interaction Design, in which the very form of the in-between, the interaction, be explicitly targeted. It is an opportunity to go beyond user and usability studies to seek answers to fundamental questions concerning the form and character of interaction as implemented in today’s interactive systems. Moreover, this framework is an opportunity to expand and explain a new design space for Interaction Design. The proposed framework, anchored in two exemplifying cases, illustrates the character and the form of interaction as it situates itself in online, ubiquitous and everyday IT use.
