Digital Decal
The idea of digital decal was originated from the traditional decal technique, which has been widely loved by people thanks to its playfulness and directness. With digital decal, ordinary paper replaces special decal films. The user can simply place a sheet of printed paper on the tablet screen, and then rub on it with a pen. The rubbed image is transferred directly to the screen in the same manner as with a traditional decal.

Crystal Zoetrope
What if you found a jellyfish swimming through your table at a restaurant or pub? We produced a miniaturized zoetrope that generates a compelling three-dimensional animation, and yet is small enough to be embedded in everyday objects, by using the Sub-Surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) technique.

Shade Pixel
Shade Pixel is an interactive display that uses flexible Spandex to represent information. It can be used as an ambient display for its peripherality; non-luminescent nature and simple appearance. The main difference from other displays is that Shade Pixel is applicable to the surfaces of everyday products or to the environment as an interactive skin.

Inflatable Mouse
Inflatable Mouse is a volume-adjustable user interface. It can be inflated up to the volume of a familiar mouse, but be deflated and stored flat in a PC card slot of a laptop computer when not in use. Inflatable Mouse functions just like a typical mouse; moreover, it provides new interaction techniques by sensing the air pressure in the balloon of the mouse.

Digital Rubbing
Digital rubbing is a playful and intuitive interaction technique for transferring a graphic image directly onto paper. We designed TransPen and MimeoPad to realize digital rubbing. With these drawing tools, children and adults can use rubbing motions to transfer a digital image directly to paper and produce a drawing with a personal touch and natural texture, just as in traditional rubbing. Digital rubbing technique would be useful in arts and design as a new way of expression in the process of drawing and editing ideas.
