Designing technology that is more intuitive, accessible, and useful across the full range of human experiences.
We present a new type of augmented mechanical keyboard, sensing rich and expressive motion gestures performed both on and directly above the device. A low-resolution matrix of infrared (IR) proximity sensors is interspersed with the…
We present RetroDepth, a new vision-based system for accurately sensing the 3D silhouettes of hands, styluses, and other objects, as they interact on and above physical surfaces. Our setup is simple, cheap, and easily reproducible,…
Projectors, tablets, and other devices, combined with depth cameras, enable applications to span multiple “screens.” This work enables webpages to be experienced outside of your PC monitors to take advantage of all your devices in…
This project uses head-mounted displays, Kinect skeletal tracking, a custom hardware controller, and a large display for the public to watch vicariously. Individuals enter a virtual-reality environment created using the WorldWide Telescope and navigate through…
Presenting two new technologies that empower consumers to design and produce working physical devices customized to their particular needs: A highly interactive, touch-first 3-D printing app makes 3-D modeling accessible to a broad range of…
Many people are working on near-field user-interface devices that detect hover, gesture, and pose. But there is nothing in the space in front of a device to show the user what to do. This project…
Holograph is an interactive, 3-D data-visualization research platform that can render static and dynamic data above or below the plane of the display using a variety of 3-D stereographic techniques. The platform enables rapid exploration,…
