Touching the Physical World

چکیده
I would like to propose going beyond the tactile experience and extend the tangibility to other senses. Imagine a way to interact with an information environment and explore multiple layers of time and space. Spatial exploration is immersive and multidimensional. So, instead of using only a finger as input, the full body acts as pivot point to produce augmented realities, blending the cyberspace in the physical world. To reach this level of immersive experience, we must take advantage of technologies that digitally embody our senses to bridge the gap between the virtual and the real (Ishii, 2008; Shaer & Hornecker, 2010).

This results in an intuitive way to interact with the environment. Furthermore, it enhances the concept of pervasive ...

متن کاملVariability in thirteen-month-old infants’ touching patterns in the sequential-touching task
Variability in infants’ touching patterns in a sequential-touching task was evaluated to examine the hypothesis that at periods of developmental transition, apparently random responding in this task actually reflects infants’ use of multiple strategies for responding to the categorical contrast. Typically, categorization in this task is inferred only if infants successively touch items within t...
متن کاملRfid Tag Reader System Emulator to Support Touching, Pointing and Scanning
Integrated RFID readers are appearing in mobile phones, enabling the selection of tags and communication with physical objects in a user-friendly way by touching. We have built a system that emulates UHF tags and supports other physical selection paradigms in addition to touching: pointing by IR or visual light, and scanning of nearby tags. The emulator is based on RF communication and sensing ...
