Project 1 TANGIBLES WITH DIGITAL SHADOWS (due Oct 16)

Design and implement an interaction system consisting of both tangible objects and digital augmentations. Tangible objects serve as handles or representations of digital information. Please create good metaphors that seamlessly connect atoms and bits (e.g. tangible object and its digital shadow).

For this project, please work in teams of 3-5 people.

Presentation in class

  • Slideshow with motivation, related projects (ACM digital library) is a good place to start), design rationale and usage scenarios.
  • Presentation of your project as a team. Each team will have about 10 minutes to present its project and a few more minutes of Q & A.
  • Prototype that is at least partly functional
  • (Optional) video demonstrating the interface

Documentation on website

Please create a page for your team’s project. This should include:

  • The name and the member of the team;
  • Text description of your project system;
  • At least three picture demonstrating your system;
  • A link to your presentation slides.
  • Video link to youtube or vimeo (optional)
