The Reality Editor – Networking functional relationships between physical objects

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Arduino iOS Members People Posted on:

Back in 2013 the team at the MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces Group developed a method of creating Spatially-Aware Embodied Manipulation of Actuated Objects using augmented reality. The project's aim was to extend users touchscreen interactions into the real world by enabling spatial control over the actuated object. Earlier this year, the team released libraries and examples that could also enable others to do the same. Using Open Hybrid (see video below), users are able to directly map a digital interface onto a physical object using the likes of Arduino and other popular hardware/software environments (example).

Glassified – Ruler with transparent display to supplement physical drawing

Glassified is a modified ruler with a transparent display to supplement physical strokes made on paper with virtual graphics. The goal of the device is to complement rather than replace a typical ruler and since the display is transparent, both the physical strokes and the virtual graphics are visible in the same plane.
