Tangible+User+Interface

The Tangible Media Group, led by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, explores the Tangible Bits vision to seamlessly couple the dual world of bits and atoms by giving physical form to digital information. At the border between the atoms and bits, we are facing the challenge of reconciling our dual citizenship in the physical and digital worlds. Our group is addressing this challenge by designing human interfaces that employ physical objects, surfaces, and spaces as tangible embodiments of digital information and processes. These interfaces explore interactions in both the foreground and in the background. Foreground interfaces use graspable objects and augmented surfaces, exploiting the human senses of touch and kinesthesia. Background interfaces use ambient light, sound, airflow, and water movement as indicators of activity at the periphery of awareness.
