  • Conference paper
Biologically Inspired Approaches to Advanced Information Technology (BioADIT 2006)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3853))

Abstract

A new Tangible User Interface (TUI) device, m-ActiveCube, is proposed as a multimedia extension of ActiveCube, which is a TUI device that enables more efficient human computer interaction than conventional devices. First, fundamental specifications of m-ActiveCube are determined to remove the processing performance and functionality limitation of the original ActiveCube. By utilizing improved performance, m-ActiveCube offers such novel functionalities as speech recognition with which more impressive applications can be constructed at any level of human living system.
