Physical interaction design DH2400

this is the new gametrailer of wii fit. Love it!

This video is about different projects that have develops in US the arranger of this event is the technology Federal Chief Technology Officer of the United States. The company that kind was interesting for me was “Perspective Pixel” who working and developing big touch screens for different purposes. Jeff Han who doing the presentation is talking the big step between touch screens and mouse but the hard part is to find wear to apply just for play or cloud it be more useful for other stuff professionally. As he was taking about the simplicity in interaction it didn’t seemed to be because you can apply many gestures to do different stuff. There are not many touch standards for touch gestures.

Look at the video conference 34:00 in time

Look also at their website at Perspective Pixel The intro video shows what touch screens are good for

Here is an interesting way to do a simple task such as having a timer turning on and of a lamp.

Here is a nice midi-controller with a lot of potential!

It is basically a LOT of buttons, a touchscreen and a computer.



Seems useful and would be an interesting project to try to replicate.

I found an interesting bowl that kind of plays orchestra of went you mix small objects in it. It would you could also apply that in the kitchen when you making dinner. So making dinner would not be so boring and you can pretend that you are director for a while with a mixer.

Orchestra bowl

During the course I came across lots of cool ideas and my bookmark folder got full of interesting things. Time to share them.

Enjoy :)
