In this paper we inquire material qualities for tangible user interfaces and introduce the term “ephemeral user interface”. We present an example user interface that employs f...
A human-powered user interface device sources its power from the physical effort required to operate it. This paper describes a technique by which a geared DC motor and a simple c...
In recent years several systems have been developed to integrate the management of physical and digital documents and artefacts. These systems, which often rely on technologies su...
Parameters in audio or video editing applications can mostly be controlled by a variety of hardware devices such as MIDI controllers. These, however, usually feature only a limite...

We have developed an interactive pop-up book called Electronic Popables to explore paper-based computing. Our book integrates traditional pop-up mechanisms with thin, flexible, pa...
Advances in the creation of computational materials are transforming our thinking about relations between the physical and digital. In this paper we characterize this transformati...
