	CHI 2003 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA April 5 - April 10 2003 © 2003 ACMA Tangible Interface for IP Network Simulation 199 KB Mitsunori Hirano, Atsunobu Narita NTT Comware, Japan Kazue Kobayashi NTT Comware Cambridge, MA Hiroshi Ishii Tangible Media Group MIT Media Laboratory ishii@media.mit.edu ABSTRACT We present the IP Network Design Workbench which supports collaborative network design and simulation by a group of experts and customers. This system is based on a tangible user interface platform called "Sensetable," which can wirelessly detect the location and orientation of physical pucks. Using this system, users can directly manipulate network topologies, control parameters of nodes and links using physical pucks on the sensing table, and simultaneously see the simulation results projected onto the table in real-time.
