In our second module of the Interactivity course, we partnered up to explore multitouch behaviors and interactions. Our goal was to establish a framework that captures the nuances of these interactions. We began by visualizing body movements and drew inspiration from metaphors, particularly "raking leaves," framing our exploration as "grabbing and moving elusive objects." We identified key attributes influencing interactions: movement duration, speed, distance, rotation, and size. Using a repository of basic sketches provided by our instructor, we experimented in JavaScript within Visual Studio Code. This led us to our final concept: "A bunch of unordered objects." Key takeaways included a deeper conceptual understanding of screen interactions and the importance of purpose in our coding practices.
