Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

“Video projectors have typically been used to display images on surfaces whose geometric relationship to the projector remains constant, such as walls or pre-calibrated surfaces. In this paper, we present a technique for projecting content onto moveable surfaces that adapts to the motion and location of the surface to simulate an active display. This is accomplished using a projector based location tracking technique. We use light sensors embedded into the moveable surface and project low-perceptibility Gray-coded patterns to first discover the sensor locations, and then incrementally track them at interactive rates. We describe how to reduce the perceptibility of tracking patterns, achieve interactive tracking rates, use motion modeling to improve tracking performance, and respond to sensor occlusions. A group of tracked sensors can define quadrangles for simulating moveable displays while single sensors can be used as control inputs. By unifying the tracking and display technology into a single mechanism, we can substantially reduce the cost and complexity of implementing applications that combine motion tracking and projected imagery.”

“Projection technology typically places several constraints on the geometric relationship between the projector and the projection surface to obtain an undistorted, properly sized image. In this paper we describe a simple, robust, fast, and low-cost method for automatic projector calibration that eliminates many of these constraints. We embed light sensors in the target surface, project Gray-coded binary patterns to discover the sensor locations, and then prewarp the image to accurately fit the physical features of the projection surface. This technique can be expanded to automatically stitch multiple projectors, calibrate onto non-planar surfaces for object decoration, and provide a method for simple geometry acquisition.”

Lee, Johnny C., Avrahami, Daniel, Hudson, Scott E., Forlizzi, Jodi, Dietz, Paul H. and Leigh, Darren (2004): The calder toolkit: wired and wireless components for rapidly prototyping interactive devices. In: Proceedings of DIS04: Designing Interactive Systems: Processes, Practices, Methods, & Techniques 2004. pp. 167-175.
“Toolkits and other tools have dramatically reduced the time and technical expertise needed to design and implement graphical user interfaces (GUIs) allowing high-quality, iterative, user-centered design to become a common practice. Unfortunately the generation of functioning prototypes for physical interactive devices as not had similar support -- it still requires substantial time and effort by individuals with highly specialized skills and tools. This creates a divide between a designers' ability to explore form and interactivity of product designs and the ability to iterate on the basis of high fidelity interactive experiences with a functioning prototype. To help overcome this difficulty we have developed the Calder hardware toolkit. Calder is a development environment for rapidly exploring and prototyping functional physical interactive devices. Calder provides a set of reusable small input and output components, and integration into existing interface prototyping environments. These components communicate with a computer using wired and wireless connections. Calder is a tool targeted toward product and interaction designers to aid them in their early design process. In this paper we describe the process of gaining an understanding of the needs and workflow habits of our target users to generate a collection of requirements for such a toolkit. We describe technical challenges imposed by these needs, and the specifics of design and implementation of the toolkit to meet these challenges.”

Lee, Johnny C., Forlizzi, Jodi and Hudson, Scott E. (2002): The kinetic typography engine: an extensible system for animating expressive text. In: Beaudouin-Lafon, Michel (ed.) Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology October 27-30, 2002, Paris, France. pp. 81-90.
“Kinetic typography -- text that uses movement or other temporal change --
has recently emerged as a new form of communication. As we hope to illustrate
in this paper, kinetic typography can be seen as bringing some of the
expressive power of film -- such as its ability to convey emotion, portray
compelling characters, and visually direct attention -- to the strong
communicative properties of text. Although kinetic typography offers
substantial promise for expressive communications, it has not been widely
exploited outside a few limited application areas (most notably in TV
advertising). One of the reasons for this has been the lack of tools directly
supporting it, and the accompanying difficulty in creating dynamic text. This
paper presents a first step in remedying this situation -- an extensible and
robust system for animating text in a wide variety of forms. By supporting an
appropriate set of carefully factored abstractions, this engine provides a
relatively small set of components that can be plugged together to create a
wide range of different expressions. It provides new techniques for automating
effects used in traditional cartoon animation, and provides specific support
for typographic manipulations.”
