« Older Entries |CapCHI meeting on digital tabletop interfaces
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get to CapCHI’s meeting tonight, which is a pity since it sounds interesting. The title is “Next Generation Digital Tabletop Interfaces: Moving Beyond Photosharing” and the speaker is Stacey Scott from the University of Waterloo.
Even before Microsoft announced the Surface system in 2007, the Human-Computer Interaction community was actively […]
Car interface
Friday, November 16th, 2007I was listening to the radio yesterday while driving and the guy they were interviewing mentioned that driving a car is the most dangerous thing you will day in your whole day. Which is true for someone like me, but there are people whose job is a lot more dangerous than driving a car. Anyway, […]
String Walker
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007Sarah won’t be going to Siggraph this year, so she won’t be able to tell us more about this String Walker project, which is supposed to let people “walk” in a virtual world while walking in the real world.
And while I applaud the researchers’ attempts at solving the problem of how to add a “walking” […]
The Emotiv interaction device

Project Epoc is a headset that uses a set of sensors to tune into electric signals naturally produced by the brain to detect player thoughts, feelings and expression. It connects wirelessly with all game platforms from […]
Reactable
Monday, February 5th, 2007You know me, I love original interfaces, and this one is very cool. The Reactable uses a tabletop interface to control music variables, such as rhythm and amplitude. Now, I have no idea if this would be easier than learning the guitar or the piano (although a more fair comparison would probably be to a […]
Novint Falcon 3D mouse
Tuesday, January 9th, 2007Although they’re advertising this for playing games, this 3D mouse with haptic feedback looks like an interesting interaction device for virtual worlds. I need to send this to John.

It’s an input device morning special!
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006Yes, friends, two different input devices for your computing needs this morning at PoO (hihi, I never realised my blog name made for such a scatological acronym).
First, a possible solution for those of us who suffer from repetitive stress injury: the Evoluent VerticalMouse, a mouse with a twist, literally, as it is on its side, […]
