Title:
- Polka Dot: The Garden of Water Spirits
Description:
Physical and tangible representations of information have provided users with direct control of digital information. Representing information in both tangible and intangible forms enables users to control the underlying digital representation more intuitively using their hands [Ishii, et al. 2008]. Though these tangibles accept user’s input [Piper, et al. 2002], they cannot provide bi-directional physical interactions since their physical properties are not controlled by the computers. Therefore, it is difficult to represent dynamic changes of such physical properties as motion, size, and color.
