The mediaBlocks
project is a tangible user interface based upon small, electronically tagged wooden
blocks. The blocks serve as physical icons ("phicons") for the containment, transport,
and manipulation of online media. mediaBlocks interface with media input and output
devices such as video cameras and projectors, allowing digital media to be rapidly
"copied" from a media source and "pasted" into a media display. mediaBlocks are
also compatible with traditional GUIs, providing seamless gateways between tangible
and graphical interfaces. Finally, mediaBlocks act as physical "controls" in tangible
interfaces for tasks such as sequencing collections of media elements.
