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...

For this project, a cuboid was defined by six parametric surfaces, each with its own coordinate system. The parametric equations governing each surface were arranged so that a variation on a particular surface would cause reactions or permutations on...

Walk Münster, Park I

The artist has created for the exhibition visitor an individual Walkman-tour through the inner city of Münster, wherein she draws from the didactic form of guided audio tours. Instead of a...

Database of Provincial Life uses digital computers to accomplish a task which was impossible to achieve using any previous representational medium: documenting EVERYTHING which happen to EVERYBODY who lived in the 20th century. By focusing on the...

A-positive, a dialogical event created by Ed Bennett and myself, probes the delicate relationship between the human body and emerging new breeds of hybrid machines that incorporate biological elements and from these elements extract sensorial or...

A tomb made of cardboard packing boxes. Inside, a primate-lab cage and a mechanism. That moves a computer controlled monkey's paw and a light source that slowly draw the face of Jim Pomeroy (1946-1992) in phosphorescent pigment.

Robotics Research: A common task in automated manufacturing processes is to orient parts prior to assembly. We consider sensorless orientation of a polygonal part by a sequence of fences. We show that any polygonal part can be oriented by a sequence...
