Project Details
- "Origami Desk is an interactive installation that guides participants through the creation of various origami structures. The installation utilizes several ground-breaking interaction technologies, including electric field-sensing arrays and RFID tags, to illustrate how real-world graphics, interaction design, and sensing technologies can be integrated to help users perform process-driven tasks."
- "Origami Desk utilizes projection, electric field sensing, and low-cost radio-frequency identification tags to enable computer users to break free from the CRT-keyboard-mouse interaction paradigm." Sensor design and layout allows the computer to infer and provide feedback on whether the user has properly completed the folding step correctly or not.
