Finally the demos on TEI2011.

Archive for the ‘Tangible interfaces’ Category
I’ve just came back from TEI2011, an event about tangible, embedded and embodied interaction. It’s a very huge conference with the participation of some great design and technology schools like MIT Media Lab, Carnegie Mellon, TU/e, KAIST e among others.I’ve presented a paper about a project in Brazil for Natural Sciences Museum PUC Minas.There were a lot of interesting WIP presentations, for instance from Bill Verplank. Verplank is a proeminent interaction designer, he worked with Bill Moggridge on IDEO, had worked in the first GUI, the Xerox Star, and taught on IVREA School. He presented a work about assertive musical instruments, a different kind of feedback instrument that helps to create experimental music performances.The very last panel was a great thought about tangible media, moderated by Bill Verplank with Justine Cassell (Carnegie Mellon University), Gillian Crampton Smith (IUAV University of Venice), Donald Norman (Nielsen Norman Group) e Norbert Streitz (Smart Future Initiative). Where I recorded this video below:Right now I’m trying to edit the demos and art exploration videos, stay tooned. For 2012 TEI will happen on Canada.A sort of photos from flicker:
Update: During the event it also had a design challenge, design your superhero, where I’ve worked with Marcos Paulo Machado and we won a honorable mention in inventiveness. Here is a video about the challenge:

The future of Interaction
The XRDS magazine published by ACM is out now with an edition dedicated to the future of interaction. With a series of articles about tangible interfaces, brain-machine interface, physical computing and pervasive computing. The magazine even has a Hiroshi Ishii’s profile, the MIT Media Lab professor, precursor in several concepts in this area.
Concidence or not, here is a recent lecture of John Underkoffler also from MIT Media Lab. The title is ”The future of the UI”.

Frozen Poetry
Finally my installation “Frozen Poetry” on an exhibition in Belo Horizonte, Brasil.
FROZEN POETRY
Marginália LabThe individual who, bearing an ice cube, freezes syllables building imprecise signs.
In a proposal permeated by ludic characteristics, Koji Pereira invites the visitors of his interactive installation Frozen Poetry to undergo a battle of small proportions against the internal rules of his computational system of creation of quasi-random poetry. Quasi- once the individual’s lack of control is only partial. In this game, trying to overcome the evolution of syllables – which tend to overlap each other rapidly – intending to enclose them into signs, the individual is at times successful, while at other occasions finds himself subject to an everlasting flux that gives place to the unpredictable manifestation of chance.
This ephemeral interface – the ice which slowly melts responding to touch with bare hands and with the projection surface – is the tool with which one writes his écritures; the utmost place for errors, mistakes, the space inhabited by imprecision is the same where randomness is nurtured. The yet-to-be-text escaping control, advancing subtly beyond the limits of the vernacular, presenting the visitor with short dada-inspired poetry as a result of his paradoxical endeavor in which at each moment one fights against and in favor of this system.

The coalition of agencies, productors, designers and developers created this awesome result. A giant 3D interactive projection, where public can interact with two blank screens and one multitouch table.

Made yesterday here at home, I used integrated notebook webcam. Olive oil is the drum, pepper controls pitch and the cube is the clap. Rotating objects on the table controls the BPM (Beats Per Minute) or the intensity (in the case of pitch).
Build with Pure Data and Reactivision.
