Technologies can be obsolete within a year and consumers’ needs can change quickly. Their lab chooses to focus on vision-driven research because the benefits have a longer life-span. The Tangible Media Lab makes the distinction between technology-driven, needs-driven, and vision-driven research. While institutions like MIT must be strategic in how they allocate research funds, we should not downplay the importance of investing in projects with potentially great future benefits.
However, most practical applications are decades and hundreds of thousands of dollars of research away.īecause of this, many (see the comments on the YouTube video) are quick to exclaim that we are wasting thousands of dollars on a cool, yet practically useless toy. In many cases, a tangible interface may be preferable over a digital one because it is physically intuitive and allows us to take better advantage of hand-eye coordination. You could also probably imagine this technology leading to new gaming systems, mechanical modeling, or even interactive art. A similar tangible interface is already used in the field of architecture to create more realistic 3D models of buildings that simulate solar shadows and wind flow simulations. If this product were miniaturized it could be used for a wide variety of applications across various industries. The invention is created using Microsoft’s Kinect, a computer, a projector, and hundreds of small pins that move up and down using actuators. Essentially, they are in the beginning stages of creating a more tangible version of Tony Stark’s computer lab.
Imagine that the pins on inForm replacing pixels on your screen. You might think that we already live in this world. We physically interact with computers, tablets, and cell phones every day, don’t we? But the Tangible Media Group, led by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, wants to push the limits even further by replacing your standard digital screens with a more interactive, tangible 3D interface. like maybe making a plaster cast for it to sit in? curious if anyone has any ideas or knows of things that exist that do something like this.It was inspired by their vision that we will one day live in a world where digital technology is tightly interwoven into the fabric of physical environments. or some other way of solving this problem. i keep thinking something like this has to exist. the wood strips method i described is my weak approximation of that. i keep thinking about those pin impression toys where you can put your hand or face in there and it holds the shape (this thing: ) but with some way to lock everything after its taken the impression. i experimented with having a bunch of small square strips of wood that i arrange in a grid, set on top of the motherboard and then use a band clamp to hold in place. the complexity is that all the stuff on top of the board makes it very uneven and irregular, and i want to have as much support below the whole board as possible. I am playing around trying to mill holes in a motherboard from the underside, but i am trying to come up with a good way to keep the board rigid when i lower the bit into board.
