inFORM system – morphing relief as a Tangible User Interface

By Damir Beciri
One Comment8 November 2013

mit-inform-system-1A group of researchers at MIT developed a prototype of a Tangible User Interface (TUI) with ability to dynamically create user interfaces by altering its layout. Named inFORM, the system id built on top of grid-like shape-changing display. It could make use of the way we perceive objects to create an intuitive interface with logical… »

Touché sensing technique – enhancing capacitive touch sensing

By Damir Beciri
8 May 2012

touche-capacitive-touch-sensingA new sensing technique developed by a team at Disney Research, Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) could enhance current capacitive touch sensing used for information interaction by enabling detection of more complex gestures. Named Touché, the new method monitors capacitive signals across a broad range of frequencies instead sensing electrical signals at a single… »
