Yesterday began in Honolulu 27th
Software Technology Symposium (Software and Technology Symposium). Dozens of companies and development teams have presented various projects experimental interfaces. Some of the most interesting and promising ones that have a better chance of mass adoption, presented under the cut.
Light Ring h4> < br />
Project Light Ring developed by experts from Microsoft Research. Compact device with the help of infrared radiation recognizes finger movements, and the gyro helps track position in space. As a result, the keyboard can be converted to virtually any surface. You can click, drag, and draw on the table, books, or knee wall. So far, the device detects movement just one finger, but very accurately and quickly.
Room Alive h4> < br />
Another development of Microsoft Research, is a follower of the project IllumiRoom , presented at CES 2012. More Group projectors and consoles Kinect turns the surface of all objects in the room in a single interactive surface.
Skin Buttons h4> < br />
The development team from Carnegie Mellon University presented his vision of the expansion of the core management for wearable hours. For this gadget is supposed to be installed in a miniature projectors that display various control icons directly on the user's hand around the clock. The developers note that projecting unit costs only $ 2, while it may even increase the battery life of deprivation due to screen control functions.
FlexSense h4>
Project FlexSense developed Austrian laboratory mediainteraktivnosti. The device is a sheet of transparent flexible plastic with integrated piezoelectric sensors. With their help, the control system with a fairly high degree of accuracy determines the curvature of the plastic sheet. This allows you to create interfaces based on natural and habitual pattern of interaction with plain paper.
Tracs h4>
This sided display , to dynamically change the transparency of layers. For design, it makes it easier and faster to establish eye contact with colleagues sitting in front of you.
Teegi h4> // player.vimeo.com/video/104486980 video>
Teegi name doll that their behavior renders the brain of the user. The very name is an acronym for Tangible ElectroEncephaloGraphy Interface, «tangible EEG interface." This strange development was created as a visual learning tool for the study of brain activity. With this technology it is possible to create a control interface devices, including for paralyzed people. And work in this area has long been underway.
HaptoMime h4>
One of the most interesting projects , presented at the symposium. The device uses ultrasound to create in the use of tactile sensations at a short distance from the device. Just raise your hand, but not touching, you feel the skin surface of the projected image.
