Sensetable is a system that wirelessly tracks the positions of multiple objects on a flat display surface quickly and accurately. The tracked objects have a digital state, which can be controlled by physically modifying them using dials or tokens.

The Supply Chain Visualization (SCVis) project provides a way for managers to physically construct and interact with models of how products flow between their business, thier suppliers and their customers. It lets managers use complex numerical

This project is developing new means for querying relational databases and live datastreams through the manipulation of physical objects. Parameterized query fragments are embodied as physical tokens ("parameter wheels"). These tokens are

PLAN-it! - a multisensory experience --- in cooperation with Herbert Lachmayer and Mathias Fuchs --- The Mind Zone [architects: Office Zaha Hadid] in the Millennium Dome at Greenwich was designed to be a synthesis of contemporary architecture, art,

in cooperation with Mathias Fuchs --- This game is about finding your identity (if you have got one), to change your identity, to steal or borrow another person's identity or to destroy identities. What is an identity? It is the idea that

The Nanomandala is an installation by media artist Victoria Vesna, in collaboration with nanoscience pioneer James Gimzewski. The installation consists of a video projected onto a disk of sand, 8 feet in diameter. Visitors can touch the sand as

The Actuated Workbench is a device that uses magnetic forces to move objects on a table in two dimensions. It is intended for use with existing tabletop tangible interfaces, providing an additional feedback loop for computer output, and helping to

In order to give the child the impression that a character is listening to their stories, we have invented a clever mechanism that captures the motions and speech of a child using sensors and audio processing. Continuing in the vein of research on

CADcast is a system for projecting instructions into 3-D workspaces. It supports users in constructing three dimensional structures with greater efficiency and more accuracy. The system also supports improved coordination between the design and

The work "Touch me" of Alba D'Urbano from 1995 is an interactive digital video installation where a monitor with touch screen, a video camera and a computer are mounted on a platform. The monitor with the touch screen is visible for the visitors at
