PLACEHOLDER was a virtual environment project designed by Brenda Laurel and Rachel Strickland and produced by Brenda Laurel. Placeholder was a two-person fully interactive virtual-reality system, utilizing stereoscopic head-mounted displays,

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

When viewers logged on they first saw a black screen. Then, a small white rectangle appeared in the middle of the screen. Slowly, vertical bars descended inside the horizontal rectangle. At the bottom, viewers saw apparently random letters and

"Less than Three" is an interactive installation of light strips that form a network between two intercoms. As a participant speaks into an intercom, his or her voice is translated into corresponding flashes of light and this light pattern is

Pulse Front was a matrix of light over Toronto’s Harbourfront, made with lightbeams from twenty powerful robotic searchlights, entirely controlled by a network of sensors that measured the heart rate of passers-by. Ten metal sculptures detected the

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

Habeas Corpus is a permanent large scale publicly sited immersive interactive installation composed of two parts. The first part is encountered on entering the subterranean area of the Allen and Overy building in the City of London. As the viewer

IP Network Design Workbench is a system to make performance simulation tools more accessible to a group of experts during the IP Network design process. Using TUI, it became possible to control multiple simulation parameters directly and in

This project is developing new means for querying relational databases and live datastreams through the manipulation of physical objects. Parameterized query fragments are embodied as physical tokens ("parameter wheels"). These tokens are
