FishFace is a gestural input device with proximal visual feedback. It detects motion using a "LazyFish" electric field module, and displays graphics on an array of LED's. The integration of the display and sensing creates the illusion that the user...

This project explores the use of physical fixtures and objects to display temporal information within an architectural space in a subtle and aesthetically pleasing way. Ambient Fixtures present and communicate information through their changes in...

To explore the use of motion of physical objects to convey information and emotion, we have designed a series of Expressive Kinetic Objects.

The Dyna-Lux is a kind of Expressive Kinetic Objects. The Dyna-Lux is a table lamp augmented with a...

The I/O Bulb and the Luminous Room are the two central ideas in a project whose goal is the pervasive transformation of architectural space, so that every surface is rendered capable of displaying and collecting visual information.

An I/O Bulb is...

The mediaBlocks project is a tangible user interface based upon small, electronically tagged wooden blocks. The blocks serve as physical icons ("phicons") for the containment, transport, and manipulation of online media. mediaBlocks interface with...

This project explores the creation and use of a physical/digital construction kit. Triangles is a physical computer interface in the form of a construction kit of identical, flat, plastic triangles. The triangles connect together both physically and...

inTouch is a project to explore new forms of interpersonal communication through touch. Force-feedback technology is employed to create the illusion that people, separated by distance, are interacting with a shared physical object. The "shared"...

PSyBench is a general platform for creating distributed Tangible Interfaces for collaborative design.
Objects on an augmented tabletop are physically synchronized with identical objects on a remote table, allowing distant users to cooperatively...

Inside sixteen flowerpots placed in a dark room, motors run to rotate transparent disks. A viewer peeking into a flowerpot will find an animation of the images printed on the transparent disk, illuminated by the switching of small white LED, and...

His first interactive sound installation. Construction of some very bulky 8 x 8 pixel video cameras, connected then to a wire-wrapped card in the Apple ][ which digitized the images, and wrote a program for the Apple ][ which controlled a Korg MS-20...
