SANDBOX – KeckCAVES
Science education, Keck Foundation, California
The sandbox is equipped with a Kinect 3D camera and a projector to project a
real-time colored topographic map with contour lines onto the sand surface.
The sandbox lets virtual water flow over the surface using a GPU-based
simulation of the Saint-Venant set of shallow water equations.

Kinect Sign Language Translator – Microsoft Research
The prototype system understands the gestures of sign language
It displays the signer and renders a written and spoken translation of the sign
language in real-time, and it also takes the non-signer's spoken words and
turns them into accurate, understandable sign language.

inFORM – MIT
Dynamic Shape Display
inFORM can render 3D content
physically, so users can interact with digital
information in a tangible way. It also
interact with the physical world around
it, for example moving objects on the
table's surface. Remote participants in a
video conference can be displayed
physically, allowing for a strong sense of
presence and the ability to interact
physically at a distance.

REACTIVE GRIP – Tactical Haptics
Friction controller
Reactive Grip touch feedback works by mimicking the friction and shear
forces that we feel in the real world when holding an object or touching a
surface. This is accomplished by measuring the movements of the player’s
hand and actuating small sliding plates in the grip of the controller to recreate
the friction and shear forces you expect
