DataTiles Snap Together Into Customized Interface Devices
posted by Editor on Sunday March 19, @07:54PM
Peripherals Sony's DataTiles system merges the benefits of two major interaction paradigms: graphical and physical user interfaces. Tagged transparent tiles are used as modular construction units. These tiles are augmented by dynamic graphical information when they are placed on a sensor-enhanced flat panel display. They can be used independently or can be combined into more complex configurations, similar to the way language can express complex concepts through a sequence of simple words. Here is a paper (PDF) describing the approach, and here are pictures of prototype applications.
