Tangible Media 可觸知媒體

Principal Investigator: Hiroshi Ishii


We live between two worlds: our physical environment and cyberspace.
我們居住在二個世界之間： 我們的物理環境和電子空間。

The Tangible Media group's focus is on the design of seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment.
可觸知媒體小組重點是設計在人、數位資訊和物理環境之間的完美介面。

People have developed sophisticated skills for sensing and manipulating our physical environments.
人們為了感覺和操作我們的物理環境發展了複雜的技術。

However, most of these skills are not employed by traditional GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces).
然而，大部分這些技術沒有被傳統的GUI（圖解使用者介面）使用。

The Tangible Media group is designing a variety of "tangible interfaces" based on these skills by giving physical form to digital information, seamlessly coupling the dual worlds of bits and atoms.
可觸知媒體小組是設計多樣的＂可觸知介面＂基於將這些數位訊息給予物質的表現形式，完美的結合數元與原子的雙重世界。

The goal is to change the "painted bits" of GUIs to "tangible bits," taking advantage of the richness of multimodal human senses and skills developed through our lifetime of interaction with the physical world.
目標是改變圖像使用者介面中＂被描術的數元＂成為＂可觸知的數元＂，利用多重模態分佈的人們的感覺和技術發展出透過我們一生中與物理世界的互動。
