Physical interaction design DH2400

Developed at Tisch ITP, (http://itp.nyu.edu/sigs/)


Next project is called Cubit and is “an exploration in tangibility of pixels”. The technology used in this project is interactive surfaces which can sense touch, multiple contact points, allowing for multi-finger dual-hand forms of interaction. The software visualizes and represents the data emulating physical characteristics that align with tactile expectations of the user. The interesting thing about this project is how a user can interact directly with an application without using external devices like a keyboard or mouse. Technology between virtual systems and users are fading providing pure communication. Another interesting aspect of the project is that many users are allowed to use the same machine.
