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

I-Camera is a tool for automatic representations of spatial relationships among photos for reviewing and analyzing the structure of a photographic subject. Based on camera tracking, photos captured with I-Camera are shown in a 3D virtual reality

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

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

The work uses remote visual sensing techniques to track the viewer. The position of the viewer in front of the image controls the activity of the figures across the bottom of the screens. The viewers actions also control their ability to talk, as

Bridging the gap between textbook and laboratory learning, CircuiTUI leverages the power of both advanced real-time circuit simulation and the hands-on and the collaborative atmosphere of a laboratory. With CircuiTUI, projected images of circuit

Tangible Business Process Analyzer is a collaborative tool for designing what a company's business process should be, in business process re-engineering (BPR). Built on the Sensetable platform, Tangible-BPA allows mulitple users to directly

SandScape is a tangible interface for designing and understanding landscapes through a variety of computational simulations using sand. Users view these simulations as they are projected on the surface of a sand model that represents the terrain.
