Abstract

A variety of HCI toolkits help designers and developers author particular styles of interactive systems. However, the design, use and evaluation of toolkits are fraught with many challenges. This paper focuses on a subset of challenges that arise from the fit between the toolkit and its intended audience. These challenges include the skill set of that audience, the resources they have, and how they learn. We illustrate these challenges via three toolkits: Phidgets, d.Tools, and the Proximity Toolkit.
