The algal excretion product geranylacetone was proved to be an effective and novel inhibitor of carotene synthesis in Synechoccus 6911. The application of geranylacetone resulted in an ac­ cumulation of phytofluene, indicating an inhibition of the conversion of this compound into fcarotene. The cts-isomer of geranylacetone was as effective as the natural irans-isomer. The chloro­ phyll synthesi...

Interactive installations today typically limit the interaction by allowing only one active user at a time, and are commonly based on traditional forms of user input (i.e., keyboards, trackballs, touchscreens, etc.). This paper describes InterÉlastique, a system we have created that allows collaborative tangible interactions through a set of innovative stretchy sensors called eRopes. The system...
