The Tangible Media Group, led by Professor Hiroshi Ishii, pursues the vision of Tangible Bits & Radical Atoms to seamlessly couple the dual worlds of bits and atoms by giving dynamic physical form to digital information and computation.
As the Tangible Media Group approaches its next chapter,
it revisits its origins in the vision of Seamless Telepresence and introduces a new vision: TeleAbsence—to connect people across time, including one’s younger self, lost loved ones, and even the afterlife.
