The Haptic
Tabletop Puck is an interactive device aiming to provide a haptic feedback for
people. By embedding a rod, servo and a brake in a wooden box, combining with
computer vision technology, people can feel a sense of friction, height,
texture and malleability of digital objects.
I like this
project for its simplicity to achieve well build tactile feedback. It extracts
the feedback with the forms of friction, height and malleability. With a
tangible object to move in a digital display, it will bring much interesting
tactile feeling for people.
Project: Touch trace mirror

remote communication, daily objects sensing
Touch trace
mirror is a device for remote people (especially for lovers) to communicate
with each other. By writing something in the mirror in a place, the other side
of the mirror will appear a signal indicating this message. When the message is
re-drawn by remote person, the pattern will flash.
Similar to The
Haptic Tabletop Puck, this device is also not complicated to be implemented. I
like its idea to make daily objects as a tool for people communication or just
for fun.
