Florabot
In this project, we design and make 438 flower robots for the 2010 Taipei International Flora Expo. Our goal is to make each individual equip identical minimum rules but achieve highly intelligent behaviors. Hence, we adopt the idea of “Self-Organization” to realize…
Virtual Mouse
What if the affordance of a device is totally removed? Without physical and visual clues, will users still be able to perform tasks as usual? In order to discover these curiosities, we propose a new pointing device that is named “Virtual Mouse”. Unlike conventional computer mouse…
Tangible Slider
Sidebar is a kind of widely used component for most window-based applications. A sidebar is defined as a container where application shortcuts are located. Currently, a sidebar is called out from hidden by pointing the cursor at a hot-area or a hot-edge. After calling out a sidebar…
Seamless Mobility
How to bring the conventional Graphical User Interface from the screen to the space is a popular research topic since a decade ago. Most approaches actually focus on discovering and improving related technologies of Augmented Reality. In detail, researchers develop high quality sensing…
Sneak Peeking Bars
The control sidebar is essential for window-based application. Most of them have auto-hide mechanism to spare more window space for users. Users can bring out a sidebar at will by moving the mouse cursor to the edge where the bar is hidden. In this project, we propose a new way…
Calligraphic Brush
The development of better User Interface (UI) and Tangible User Interface (TUI) for 3D modeling has lasted for decades. With the popularity of free form style achieved by algorithmic methods, the existing solutions of UI/TUI for CAD are gradually insufficient. Neglecting the steep learning curve…
Adaptive Mouse
Adaptive Mouse (AM) consists of a smart material which is deformable and is capable of recognizing the deformation. The deformation provides perfect and comfortable ergonomic shape for users’ diverse hand gestures. The smart material itself could also dynamically activate…
