Statement
Innovative aspect of the project and particular research interest:
“Tight combination of modular and physical objects and the benefit of dynamic graphics of GUI.”
Reaction to and evaluation of the project:
“From the esthetical point of view, illuminating transparent physical object is accented quite positively by many trial users. People also tried to create a new physical layout of tiles, often by using multiple hands, or by multiple users.”
Updates or follow-up projects:
“We have installed this system in Sony’s museum (Sony Explora Science Tokyo) and connected multimedia contents to it.”
(June Rekimoto)
