Abstract

Gibson's seminal concept of affordance could have real design power if it could be adequately explained as a phenomenon that happens within the scale of human lifetime. Today there is a growing number of neurophysiological and behavioral studies that shown that the intuition of Gibson was just a starting point for a more elaborated theory of affordances.

Affordances in HCI: toward a mediated action perspective
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Interpretations of the concept of "affordances" in HCI are becoming increasingly diverse, extending well beyond the original Gibsonian meaning. We discuss some of the key analyses of affordances in HCI research and make three related claims. First, we ...
Affordance in interaction
ECCE '06: Proceedings of the 13th Eurpoean conference on Cognitive ergonomics: trust and control in complex socio-technical systems

The concept of affordance has different interpretations in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, its treatment has been merely as a one-to-one relationship between a user and a technology. We believe that a broader view of affordances ...
Affordances for practice

This paper argues that Gibson's concept of affordance inserts a powerful conceptual lens for the study of sociomateriality as enacted in contemporary organizational practices. Our objective in this paper is to develop a comprehensive view of affordances ...
