Flutter: directed random browsing of photo collections with a tangible interface

Large collections of photographs are commonplace, and many interfaces for viewing, sorting and organizing them have been proposed. This work describes the design and implementation of a "living photo frame" - designed not to navigate or browse collections but to create an enjoyable activity from a collection of images. Tangible interactions with a tablet-style PC are used to bind the user closely to the system. Every interaction is logged and used to gradually evolve the structure of photo collections.
