Central Claim:
Nowadays, people’s interactions through computers by clicking and typing are constructed and interpreted differently with their everyday life. Tangible behaviors like touch and feel play a significant role in people’s everyday interactions. As interaction designers, we should think about how to re-establish the physical connectiveness of people to the lifeworld by interacting each other utilizing wrist-wear computing.
- Embodiment
n People’s everyday interactions are processing and acting through a physical manifestation in the world.
n Most of the Interactions occur in real time and real space.
- Breakdown/intention
n Coming signals have been treated as a breakdown to catch people’s intentions.
n By utilizing those signals as breakdown, we also need to consider how balance the conflict of attracting attentions and distraction.
- Pattern
n Looking at the pattern of people’s intention to use wrist-wear computing
n Looking at the pattern of the ways of signaling
n Looking at the pattern of the information conveyed via this type of interaction
- Interpretation
n People’s Perceptions of signals coming from different sense: visual, tactile, aural and etc
n People have different interpretation of different signals.
n People are constructing meaning during their interpretation of signals
- Sociability
n People are forming Intersubjectivity towards the common signals
n People would like to Individualized/Personalized their own signals
n As interaction designers, we need to re-establish physical connection to the lifeworld.
n We also need to leverage the tangible behavior of feel and touch in everyday interactions

I like the direction you are going. I would emphasize more on wristwear–make that the primary focus of the paper, and treat it as representative of the broader topic. That said, I am interesting in your idea about how tangible behavior is constructed in computing versus the rest of life–I think that is a very good insight and well worth exploring.
As for your outline itself, many of the bullets as of now are topics, rather than claims. There is a very good claim in the fourth bullet, which begins “By utilizing those …” Try to make your outline bullets be more claim-centered, and less topic centered (e.g., “looking at the pattern of the ways of signalling” is just a topic–I’m not sure where you are taking it).
Great start!
