Senspectra is a computationally augmented physical modeling toolkit designed for sensing and visualization of structural strain. The system functions as a distributed sensor network consisting of nodes, embedded with computational capabilities and a

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) based augmented reality (AR) systems have been applied for design simulations. Although such AR systems give users 3D and real scale feelings of digital data that could be useful in design explorations, there are a few

SP3X is a new type of three-dimensional interface for creating, modifying, and navigating volumetric data. It combines the intuitive and improvisational strengths of tangible interfaces with the visualization power of mixed reality. Users can create

Robo Topobo brings the improvisation and performative thrill of video games to hands-on modeling and invention. “Robo” is a controller that children can use to save, replay and adjust playback of up to four Topobo recordings. With Topobo a child can

Glume is a computationally enhanced translucent modeling medium which offers a generalized modular scalable platform with the physical immediacy of a soft and malleable tangible material. The Glume system consists of soft and translucent

Backpacks are a series of physical components with a button knob that can be attached to Topobo Actives to modify the way a recorded motion plays back. For instance, by turning the knob on the Bigger/Smaller Backpack, you can make you recorded

We are working to create a new type of human-computer interface, called PICO, by combining some of the usability advantages of mechanical systems with the abstract computational power of modern computers. Long before modern electronic computers were

... For example, material science researchers take photomicrographs of one material...

I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch

AirportSim aids an airport manager interested in efficiency to distribute resources throughout a model airport, balancing cost with customer satisfaction. The AirportSim application is made up of a number of user-manipulable simulation objects that
