BricksGeorge W. Fitzmaurice, Hiroshi Ishii, and William Buxton - University of Toronto / 1995
Bricks is a Graspable User Interface which allows direct control of electronic
or virtual objects through physical handles for control. These physical artifacts
are essentially new input devices which can be tightly coupled or “attached” to
virtual objects for manipulation or for expressing action (e.g., to set parameters
or for initiating processes). GraspDraw, a sample application of Bricks, was developed
to investigate the Graspable UI concepts and to design new one- and two-handed
interaction techniques. The physical artifacts, or bricks, operate on top of a
large horizontal display surface known as the ActiveDesk.
