University of Cambridge 		  Abstract
     

The Vital Signs project in Cambridge has been investigating notations and representational systems for five years. Challenging application domains for this work have included home automation, web queries, pedagogical rhetoric, and more powerful spreadsheets. The main drivers for this research are cognitive theories of representation and abstraction, but the outcomes include a range of novel systems, with a special emphasis on cognitively-motivated tangible user interfaces and ubiquitous computing devices.
