ABSTRACT
Paper-pencil sketches are a valuable tool during different stages of experience design in human-computer interaction. This hands-on tutorial will demonstrate how to integrate sketching into researchers' and interaction designers' everyday practice -- with a particular focus on the design of applications for interactive surfaces (e.g., phones, tablets, tabletops, interactive whiteboards). Participants will learn essential sketching strategies, apply these in practice during various hands-on exercises, and learn the various ways of using sketches as a tool when designing novel interactive systems.
