TouchCounters are computational tags that track the usage of physical objects. TouchCounters sense activity through magnetic, acceleration, and infrared sensors, and indicate their status on bright LED displays. Through magnetic snap connectors,

The transBOARD is a Tangible Bits platform which explores the use of a digitally-enhanced whiteboard as a model of a wall in the future. The transBOARD supports distributed access to physical whiteboard activity. Distributed users can monitor

The Tangible Bits platforms make complex use of physical objects and surfaces monitored by a range of sensors, augmented by a variety of graphical and ambient displays, and linked by a diverse combination of networked computers.

Anamorph-Voronoi, is an image-generating software designed to produce aesthetically coherent compositions in 3D volumetric space according to visual rules translated into computer code. Inspired by the historian Jurgis Baltrusaitis’ study of

mediaFlow is the first project to interlink the multiple Tangible Bits platforms. mediaFlow uses Triangles to route the flow information such as activity on the transBOARD, metaDESK, or online sources to destinations like Ambient Fixtures, the

PingPongPlus is a digitally enhanced version of the classic ping-pong game. It is played with ordinary, un-tethered paddles and balls, and features a "reactive table" that incorporates sensing, sound, and projection technologies. Projectors display

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

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
