\nAbout me:<\/strong>
\nI am currently finishing my PhD in HCI at Heriot-Watt in Edinburgh. My main interests are interfaces inspired by playful natural interactions with the real world and methodology of measuring creativity. Recently I’ve recieved a Google EMEA Scholarship and was chosen a Google Student Ambassador. In my spare time I aim to share my skills with community: I’m organizing HW Ethical Hackathon, running @participatehw and supervising.<\/p>\n

While shopping online for textiles we face the perceptual gap between qualities we can sense on the digital device and those we sense when handling the real textile product<\/strong>. In this research I first investigate the qualities that people look for when interacting with textiles. Further I examine the gestures we commonly use to handle fabrics and propose a way to imitate them on mobile device<\/strong>. Finally I prototype touch-screen interactive-video interfaces and asses best practice.<\/p>\n
As a part of my research I am developing interactive iPad textile simulations <\/a> using movement, gestures and sound. Our portfolio platform shoogleit.com<\/a> finally reached a stage where any small designer\/artist can make them at home and use them in their website\/ebay\/facebook.<\/p>\n

\niSHOOGLE: A TEXTILE ARCHIVING AND SIMULATION TOOL<\/strong>

ABSTRACT:<\/strong>
\nIn this paper we present a novel tool that improves on current archiving and simulation of fabrics by bridging the perceptual gap. We built upon recent research in HCI and educational psychology to create a novel gestural interaction system that allows users to digitally share their designs at minimal cost.

Shoogleit [8], an online utility for the creation of interactive video was one such tool. A Shoogle player for iOS mobile devices was then created (Orzechowski) using an iterative process, during which experiments were carried out to determine if the added interactivity afforded by Shoogleit could more accurately describe textile qualities and thus aid in the creation of a next generation mobile browser for textiles.<\/p>\nQUOTE:<\/strong> \nOur goal is to create mobile interface which will enhance perception of textile attributes (Soft, Stretchy, Furry etc.) and would empower shopping and browsing of textiles on widely accessible mobile devices.<\/strong><\/em><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/dl.acm.org\/citation.cfm?id=2037373.2037472\">ACM_link<\/a> \n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/~po38\/phd\/publications\/mobile%20hci%202011%20paper%20pawel%20m%20orzechowski.pdf\">PDF<\/a> \n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/~po38\/phd\/publications\/mobile%20hci%2011%20poster%20pawel%20m%20orzechowski.pdf\">POSTER<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>COMPARISON OF CROWD-SOURCING VS.
