tangible viz projects @ LSU
interaction devices
core tangibles support physical access to operations common to diverse applications.

interaction trays are devices which integrate different combinations of interactors with receptacles for tangible menus.

tangible menus are tagged, structured surfaces used to represent and access diverse data, parameters, operations, and other associations.
applications
viz tangibles are a first application of core tangibles toward supporting collaborative visualization.
ligo outreach kiosk is a new application of tangibles to middle-school outreach for the LIGO gravitational wave effort.
soar tangibles is a tangibles application supporting K-12 image capture using handheld and large-scale microscopes.
technologies
blades + tiles: our modular hardware architecture for implementing a variety of tangible and embedded interfaces.
collaborations
compbio : genome projects: we have been active in employing high-performance computing in several large genome projects (including the rhesus macaque, platypus, and orangutan), and are working to couple these activities to tangibles.
arts : dogtail console: we have completed several gallery installations using tangibles to interact with live news streams.
