Composing interaction: Exploring tangible notation systems for design

In this paper we discuss our recent research into notation systems for interaction design. Inspired by music notation-a standardized yet open system with which a composition (i.e., a musical design) can be communicated-we suspect that similar notation systems can be designed for interaction design. We describe our research approach to this suspicion and describe several outcomes of our research, which all lean heavily on tangibility, manipulability and shareability
