What’s your favorite thing you’ve made?
One of my projects that I most like is a little cube that allows children to introduce different real objects and toys. Once the objects are introduced, they come to life using an AR app. The kids can interact with the toy through augmented reality displayed on the device. You can take a look: http://vimeo.com/75128321 .
What’s the most frustrating object you’ve used?
I would say that the TV remote control of my home. It has a difficult interface, is not intuitive and is difficult to remember how to perform all the actions allowed by the remote control.
What do you personally hope to get out of this class?
I want to learn more about tangible interfaces and get inspirations for my future projects. I would like to think about new ways to interact with our environment using a bridge between tangible world and digital world.
How can you contribute to the class?
My background is in electronics (analog & digital) and robotics.
