Tacit knowledge remains central in design, art, and craft practices but hard to trace and quantify. We present a multi-layered system to sense differences in a woodworking craft: the use of a traditional block plane tool. Our setup included sensing on ...

Though Miles Apart is an interactive installation that encourages people to join together through a soft tangible interface, to reminisce on their personal experiences. Based on a traditional Chinese melody, Shuidiao Getou, the installation embodies the ...

Tangible interaction design students often find it difficult to generate ideas for tangible manipulation. They often restrict their explorations to a few familiar possibilities. To our knowledge, there is no design tool that focuses on facilitating the ...

Craft has emerged as an important reference point for HCI. To avoid a misrepresenting, all-encompassing application of craft to interaction design, this position paper first discerns craft from HCI. It develops material engagement and mediation as ...

This paper presents the design rationale and concept development behind MemoryReel, a tangibly interactive desktop device that records special moments of online social interactions, between couples and friends over a long distance, and supports later ...

This paper provides an overview of my ongoing doctoral research work and the progress made within the exploratory entry phase. The focus of my research is on the development and evaluation of bio-inspired shape changing user interfaces made from soft or ...

Force image schemas (FIS) are cognitive representations of our naïve understanding of physical force dynamic events in the world. Designers have been struggling to apply FIS in their design processes, because their deliberate use has been made difficult ...

Cubes is a collection of 20 objects combing a single input with a single output. Cubes celebrates the potential of simple tangible interactions for engagement and pleasure. By fixing the form of these interactive objects into the simplest one: a cube, ...

In this paper we briefly motivate, present, and give an initial evaluation of DUL Radio, a small wireless toolkit for sketching sensor-based interaction. In the motivation, we state the purpose of this specific platform, which aims to balance ease-of-...

In this paper I present the Sonic Blocks. A Tangible User Interface (TUI) for collaborative exploration of digital music with children. Based on the notion of exploratory Tangible User Interfaces this paper gives an account of the design, development ...
