Abstract: 

 Squatouch is a computer-based musical interface and offers a multitouch user interface via the forms of direct interaction. Multi-disciplinary structure, named as Interaction Design today, is carrying the communication methods with computers to a different level day by day. Initially based on only mouse and keyboard interaction and single-user oriented interaction paradigms, now provide multi-user oriented alternative interaction methods thanks to the rapid improvements in technology. However, the technology providing to user those opportunities, expects the user to learn a new language. Multitouch interfaces, with which more than one user can interact directly by using their hands without a mouse or a keyboard, are among these new languages. In that context, the following video presents the work Squatouch, that offers to carry the human-computer interaction to a higher level by providing tangible interface that is alternative to traditional graphical user interface.
