ABSTRACT Living media interfaces (LMIs) have emerged as a new way to interact with digital systems by incorporating actual living organisms in user interfaces. There is increasing interest in utilizing living media in the context of interaction design influenced by recent advancements in biological sciences that make new forms of responsive living media possible. We establish a definition of LMIs appropriate for HCI’s interdisciplinary domain. We provide an overview of the current design space and identify open research questions from four different perspectives: Biological, Ethical, Artistic, and HCI. For each perspective, we use a series of LMI exemplars to illustrate and ground themes and arguments. We conclude with a series of implications for design, including a discussion of LMIs’ ability to engage human users through being alive, their potential to symbolize and embody dynamic information, and the practical and ethical questions that designers need to consider when working with them.

活媒体接口：对相互作用的生物材料进行多角度分析

摘要活​​媒体接口（LMI）已成为一种通过将实际的活生物体纳入用户界面来与数字系统进行交互的新方法。在交互设计的背景下，人们越来越感兴趣地利用互动媒体，这受到了生物科学最新进展的影响，这使得响应式互动媒体的新形式成为可能。我们建立了适用于HCI跨学科领域的LMI的定义。我们提供了当前设计空间的概述，并从四个不同的角度确定了开放的研究问题：生物学，伦理，艺术和HCI。对于每个角度，我们使用一系列的LMI示例来说明和扎实主题和论点。最后，我们对设计提出了一系列的建议，包括讨论LMI通过生存来吸引人类用户的能力，
