Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) are commonly accepted as those in which the configuration of physical objects embodies digital system state, providing “graspable” digital medi...
Although many augmented tabletop systems have shown the potential and usability of finger-based interactions and paper-based interfaces, they have mainly dealt with each of them ...
Surfaces capable of modulating permeability have long been used in architecture for environmental control, but have remained largely unexplored as information displays. The advent...
In this paper, we describe “The Other Brother”, a semiautonomous device that captures images and video of spontaneous moments in the course of everyday life. It was our goal t...
Many types of tangible interaction systems, such as interactive surfaces and gesture-based interfaces, are based on various kinds of optical tracking, using infrared illuminators ...

Today a growing community of DIY-practitioners, artists and designers are using microcontroller-based toolkits to express their concepts for digital artifacts by building them. Ho...
Augmented game environments use unobtrusively embedded technology to augment traditional games with virtual information and novel interaction capabilities. This article establishe...
This paper presents the Digital Hourglass, an alarm clock that focuses on the amount of sleep, rather than wake-up times. It follows a simple approach, lighting one LED for each h...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that is emerging in consumer products as a method for input and interaction. Although RFID is relatively well known ...
This paper introduces the Impatient Toaster, a kitchen appliance designed to motivate its owners to eat more often and in regular intervals: After not using it for a while, it sig...
