Abstract(in English) Physical computing, which is an approach to educating computers and studying human-computer interaction through developing electronic devices with micro-controllers, has recently attracted much attention. A number of physical computing platforms are provided, which enable their users to easily create a device that consists of a micro-controller, sensors, and actuators. However, the current physical computing platforms require that their users should write a program in a general programming language such as C++, and thus creating a program of a physical computing device is not easy for people who do not familiar with programming. On the other hand, smart-phones are widely used today, and their user interface with a touch screen is known as easy to learn and use. Therefore in this study, we propose a smartphone-based programming environment for a physical computing platform that has an easy and intuitive user interface with a touch screen. In this paper, we describe the outline of the proposed environment as well as a prototype system that has been implemented on an Android-based smartphone and Arduino, a physical computing toolkit.
