Touchless devices and systems have become an essential part of our built environment—for example, automatic doors, automatic toilets, faucets, hand sanitizer dispensers, thermometers, and even paper towel dispensers have sensors that allow them to detect when they are needed. You might have experienced interactive artwork or exhibits that are activated responding to your presence and body movement—for example, interfaces where people can type with different body postures, musical instruments that you can play by waving your arms in the air, or mechanical systems that respond to your breath. Intangible interactions are those that we engage in without involving direct physical contact. Intangible interfaces don’t have a tangible form that explicitly instructs us how to interact with them, and these interactions utilize other forms of feedback than those we feel through touch. While technologies used for intangible interaction such as sensors and computer vision are now more available and accessible, philosophy and knowledge around the design and implementation of effective intangible interactions is a much less documented subject.
