  1. Liquid Interface is an organic user interface that utilizes ferrofluid as an output display and input button embodiment. Using a matrix of Hall effect sensors, magnetic fields generated by rare-earth magnets worn on the fingertips are measured and…
  2. We present a new methodology based on ferromagnetic fluids in which the user can have direct interaction (input/output) through a tangible and malleable interface. Liquid Interfaces uses the physical qualities of ferromagnetic fluids in combination…
  3. An argument that all recently proposed forms of psycho-Physical reduction fail because they ignore the subjectivity of experience. A completely new type of theory is needed to deal with the mind-Body problem.
  4. This thesis focuses on the analysis and modeling of scratching, in other words, the DJ (disk jockey) practice of using the turntable as a musical instru- ment. There has been experimental use of turntables as musical instruments since their…
  5. This story begins with a skinny white DJ mixing between the breaks of obscure Motown records with the ambidextrous intensity of an octopus on speed. It closes with the same man, debilitated and virtually blind, fumbling for gospel records as he…
  6. The first full-length translation in English of an essential work of postmodernist thought
  7. Interaction with computers can make use of our whole physical and even emotional selves, as demonstrated by such emerging systems as HoloWall, SmartSkin, and PreSense.
  8. We present a novel hardware device based on ferromagnetic sensing, capable of detecting the presence, position and deformation of any ferrous object placed on or near its surface. These objects can include ball bearings, magnets, iron filings, and…
  9. We describe an application of the cognitive dimensions (CDs) of notations framework to tangible user interfaces (TUIs)interaction with computers using physical devices other than mice and keyboards. We are particularly interested in situations where…
  10. We present a new interface based on ferromagnetic fluids in which the user can have direct interaction (input/output) through a tangible and malleable interface. Liquid Interfaces uses the physical qualities of ferromagnetic fluids in combination…
  11. Tangible user interfaces (TUIS) augment the physical world by integrating digital information with everyday physical objects. Developing tangible interfaces is problematic because programmers are responsible for acquiring and abstracting physical…
