Media cushion: soft interface to control living environment using human natural behavior

Published: 07 August 2011 Publication History

Abstract

The ubiquitous era [Weiser 1995] has begun to unfold. Through sensors and actuators connected with the physical world, the computers support our daily life by sensing our behavior. However, most interfaces around us still remain in hard touch points and the old direct manipulations such as switches and buttons. This makes it difficult to give fully appropriate and flexible services to the user according to his/her situation. We propose Media Cushion as a new soft interface for the ubiquitous era, which enables us to control the living environment more naturally and adequately by taking in human body movements.
