human interface

this is so funny and smart

Hi from Multitouch Barcelona on Vimeo.

Soft interface

I want to make a soft interface.
i want to create natural interaction where real and digital merge in together.


Well. but my brain seems to stop.
NO more interesting ideas coming out. It seems like i am just simulating others.

OK. calm down and think

What does a soft interface mean to me?
1. it means organic. As for organic, I mean that it is changeable. Changeable by human and time.
2. it means that it is comforting. Comforting in touch and interaction.
3. it means that it is friendly and easy to anyone. it means that it can be used not only by specialist, but also by children or elders.

Well. then how would i make a soft interface?

My strategy is now this.
1. Merge it with real world physics, or physical experience.
2. Make sure that the physical interaction and the virtual screen projection has a reasonable connection and makes sense.

I will make art, not money

Without getting any reply from the places I applied for internships, my conclusion is that maybe I am born to be a hungry artist.
OK. then.

I will make art, not money.

Issues

What will the new issues should be when surface computing arise as the usual interface of life?

microsoft surface is shocking for me.

in fact, I feel i have to think more of issues or new possible contents or interfaces or functional revolutions and possiblities within multi touch computing, rather than getting excited by the technique itself.


First of all, I am interested in toys and animations with multiple story lines. For example, according to where people put the toys representing each characters will draw a different animation or stories in real time.

Secondly, I am interested in making a colony within creating the creatures.

lastly, I am interested in the audio and video effects to enable expressive entertainments.

To add more, mixing up real and virtual is interesting for me.

Such as adding shadow to a real object within the touch screen, or adding texture sound to where it will be touched seems interesting for me.

But most important, i should be more fresh and honest towards myself of what i like to do.
