chu-keshi

An original eraser for the gift shop at the Chichu Art Museum.
It can be sad to see the corners of a new, snow-white eraser wear down and get dirty, so Nendo design wanted to create an eraser that already felt lovingly worn in, like a secondhand T-shirt or a pair of vintage jeans. With its sloping angles, the chu-keshi eraser is less likely to feel old or worn out!

Miniature

What is so attractive about miniature models for electronic devices? Maybe we are in love with these small scale models, because as children we constantly dreamed on having a toy version of our parents' luxurious turntable equipment or the mysterious Reel To Reel! Also the nostalgia of the tangible knobs plays its part ...

The miniature offers tiny components so difficult to hand craft!!! So I selected here insanely cute hand-made cardboard models by Dan McPharlin. Check out his selection ...

What a neat thing for the dark!

What a fun idea! I can see so many children be into this! Designed by Alexander Lervik, this Sense light swing is made of plastic with fiber optic lighting inserted.



On a dark summer night the swing creates a spectacular light show that lights up a whole garden in the most beautiful way.

I am terminally juvenile!

I think this blog is the right one to receive my latest project!

My recent project Picture This!: Algorithmic film assembly using toy gestures
What is it? A new input device embedded in children’s toys for video composition.
A new form of interaction for children’s capturing of storytelling with physical artifacts.
What does it do? Children craft videos with and about character toys as the system analyzes their gestures and play patterns. As they play with the toys, they conduct film assembly.
Research in human computer interaction I propose a new genre of Gesture Object Interfaces. It relies on the analysis of gestures coupled with objects to represent bits.





Research project I created at the MIT Media Laboratory at the Tangible Media Group with my adviser Dr. Hiroshi Ishii.
