Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse
environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge …

We present steps toward a conceptual framework for tangible user interfaces. We introduce
the MCRpd interaction model for tangible interfaces, which relates the role of physical and …

As computers are increasingly woven into the fabric of everyday life, interaction design may
have to change–from creating only fast and efficient tools to be used during a limited time in …

We develop design principles and an interaction framework for sharable, interactive public
ambient displays that support the transition from implicit to explicit interaction with both …

We present a technique for evaluating the usability and effectiveness of ambient displays.
Ambient displays are abstract and aesthetic peripheral displays portraying non-critical …

Physical widgets or phidgets are to physical user interfaces what widgets are to graphical
user interfaces. Similar to widgets, phidgets abstract and package input and output devices …

We propose a novel graphics system based on the expansion of 3D acoustic-manipulation
technology. In conventional research on acoustic levitation, small objects are trapped in the …

Researchers have explored the design of ambient information systems across a wide range
of physical and screen-based media. This work has yielded rich examples of design …

Internet of things (IoT) devices and sensor kits have the potential to democratize the access,
use, and appropriation of data. Despite the increased availability of low cost sensors, most of …

Augmented reality head-worn displays (AR HWDs) have the potential to assist personal
computing and the acquisition of everyday information. In this research, we propose …
