Tangible Lights: Dinner table interactions with cast light
While there has been much focus on tangible lighting interfaces embedded in physical object and smartphones as remote control, there has not been sufficient attention on how the expressivity of bodily movement can be used when designing interactions with light. Therefore, we investigate interaction with lighting technology beyond the smartphone and physical controllers. We examine the usefulness of the in-air gestural interaction style for lighting control.
Tangible Lights: Reaching far corners of the table
We bring forward “Tangible Lights”, which serves as a novel interface for in-air interaction with lighting, drawing on existing knowledge from the tangible world.
