Background
Born in Montreal, Canada. Hyperactive by nature, Camille
Moussette likes the blurry connections between humans, atoms and
bits. He holds a Physics degree, a bachelor in Industrial Design, a
Masters in Interaction Design and a PhD in industrial design. His
PhD thesis, Simple Haptics: Sketching Perspecitves for the Design
of Haptic Interactions, was presented in October 2012. In January
2013, Camille began working at Apple in Cupertino, California. His
previous work experience includes microelectronics R&D (IBM and
NRC Canada), web consulting and various involvement in projects
ranging from building architectural snow structures in Scandinavia
and Italy, to exploring the design of new haptic interfaces at
Microsoft Research. At Umeå Institute of Design, he developed
the teaching and organisation of the Interaction workshop, and has
been teaching classes in Experience Prototyping, Hardware Sketching
and Design Ethnography at UID.
PhD project
Designing haptic interfaces is absolutely not trivial. It
typically requires knowledge in psychophysics, interaction design
and engineering. Despite an already established research field
designers are generally unfamiliar with the haptic domain. My PhD
project explored how designers can best embrace and design for this
underutilized modality. My research inquiries investigated new
tools, approaches and building blocks to sketch, understand,
explore, experiment quickly and develop a design sensitivity to
haptics.
My advisors were Daniel
Fällman (Interactive Institute
Umeå) and Bill Buxton
(Microsoft
Research).
Areas of interest
Haptics, Multimodal, Touch sense, Prototyping, Tangible
interfaces, Sketching in Hardware, Experience Prototyping, Toolkits
for designers.
