Summary: During the 2013 TEI conference attendees showcased and experienced more than
50 demos. The projects featured novel interactions and tangible experiences in
the form of installations, objects, and art pieces. We selected interactive
works that explore new types of relations with objects and materials -- for
example, using water, textiles, and cutters -- and pieces that promote
discovering novel interactions and reflecting on the technologies that support
them.

Summary: hough there are many examples of attempts to create interactive lighting
installations in urban public space, its meaning for urbanites has not been
fully explored and defined. What could interactive lighting contribute to urban
public space? Using the concept of Third Place, this research focuses on the
social potential of urban public space using the concepts of, especially the
role of space in connecting people and fostering social capital. Our hypothesis
is that interactive urban lighting can assist this role of urban public space.
Openlight is a concept of networked interactive lighting that provides
urbanites with open access to penetrate psychological barriers between
individuals and groups in urban public space. Hence the interaction would
provide more possibilities for urbanites becoming more aware of and getting to
know each other. For this first attempt, we have created a scaled prototype for
a Café/Restaurant setting.

Summary: In this paper, we introduce a design for an electronic toy that is variable
in shape and flexibility by using a structural object called "Ninja Track,"
which is a belt-shaped object that consists of ABS parts hinged both
longitudinally and transversely. When lying flat, Ninja Track is adequately
flexible. When the user folds Ninja Track at the longitudinal hinges, it loses
its flexibility and becomes a rigid stick. We have created two types of
electronic toys as applications of this structure. During the toy prototyping
process, we discovered five interactional considerations for Ninja Track.
Whilst showing toys at public exhibitions over a period of two weeks, we
discovered a few problems with Ninja Track, and we have implemented solutions
to these problems.

Summary: Recommendation systems have become widespread, however these systems only
determine information inputted from the customers through a browser, and cannot
be used when actually moving around outside. This paper presents TTI Model, a
model extracting individual's curiosity level in urban spaces on their spare
time by collecting behavior data from sensors. It calculates person's real time
curiosity level by analyzing behavior depending on the walking speed within the
city, such as window shopping or just hanging around by themselves. This paper
evaluates this model with a sensor device prototype, and elaborates
possibilities when understanding individuals in detail, by extracting the
curiosity predicted from current behaviors using sensors.

Summary: With human's infinite creativity, technology innovations are born in this
world at an unprecedented rate. The rapid technology development has resulted
in a fast-paced and complex life. Moreover, a dilemma is posed as people tend
to fall into confusion when they are suddenly withdrawn from their occupied
daily routine: our knowledge about our own community, besides our working
environment, is limited due to our lack of both motivation and time for local
exploration. How to increase and enhance people's appreciation for their daily
surroundings then becomes the fundamental vision of Urban Treasure: a
collaborative local recommendation engine which allows users to discover new
local information that match their personal preferences.

Summary: This paper describes the "xtel" development environment for "Ubiquitous
Content". Ubiquitous contents are real space applications that are embedded in
day-to-day life and intended for use by consumers. This is content that is
experienced through interaction with people, objects and environments that
exist in real space. Xtel comprises three tools: the "moxa" MCU board that
connects to sensors and actuators and is capable of short-distance wireless
communications; the "Talktic" programming/runtime environment for the MCU board
that contains a JavaScript parser, compiler, VM and library; and the "Entity
Collaborator" P2P network library that is capable of handling continuous
information such as video and audio in addition to the discrete information
from sensors. Its use both accelerates development and makes development itself
easier. As sample applications, this paper also contains an overview of three
rapid prototypes developed for use in demonstrations at Maker Faire 2008.

Summary: Our research is about interactions using personified gesture movements of a
hand. Multi-touch gesture interaction has become a popular genre for usage both
commercial and experimental alike, as they are being applied to various
interfaces. However, those fingertip gestures are used in tool-like ways, such
as tapping, dragging, and pinching digital objects. Whadget focuses on the
human-like gestures our hands can perform such as by pointing the index and
middle fingers downward and making strides with them, which is a form of
non-tool-like and expressive use of hand. Through distinguishing various
personified hand gestures, users are able to interact and play alongside with
digital creatures, while those creatures treat your personified hand as a
unique and independent character.

Summary: We investigated the new entertainment content that seamlessly mixed into our
everyday life in the coming ubiquitous era. For this purpose, we attempted to
expand the possibility of furniture with interactivity. First, we evaluated the
entertaining quality of such "coexisting" entertainment as "comfort" and
"pleasure" in everyday life and, consequently, we focused attention on the
furniture that is the most familiar objects around us and brings
comfortableness to our living environment. We constructed the framework of the
"coexisting" entertainment content design that consists of "sustention" and
"concurrency" being based on the original quality of furniture and then
implemented a prototype named Tabby. Tabby is a "coexisting" content that has
both the function of a lamp and the entertaining quality of an interactive
content. We also examined "Tabby" by SD method and found its possibility of
amplifying the pleasure without decreasing the original comfortable quality. In
this paper, for revealing the possibility of "coexisting" entertainment
content, we describe our design framework and its expanding ability.

situation is reflected to POCOMZ as illumination of light, and the lighting
changes by the change in member's situation. The public space and a private
one's own space will be produced by "Connection" with others through this
device.
In this research, the device working with Instant Messaging system is
designed to display, transmit and share users' presence information as an
ambient environment message in the real space.
Communications by the change in the ambience (atmosphere of the environment)
are demonstrated by using the user presence shared on the internet as a
lighting in a real space."Connected Feeling" caused by the communications of
ambient presence through the device will be suggested as the way of new
entertainment communications.

Summary: This paper proposes "intuitive cinema" -- a new form of interactive
storytelling, which emphasizes user motive and viewpoints, and implements its
cinematic expressions based on immersive quality and audience's viewing
methods. We use the quality of physical action that is made possible through a
multi-screen system, and use it to approach a novel interactive storytelling
method. From this concept comes "intuitive cinema", that allows its viewers
freedom to watch the movies from their personal viewpoints. The content
consists of 3 channels of live-action motion pictures, and the system applies
interactive displays to realize the content "Tri-Story" based on the concept of
intuitive cinema.

Summary: This research focuses on movies as a new communication tool, and proposes a
self expression movie generating system "atMOS". The purpose of this research
is to encourage mobile movie communication. Therefore, this system adopts the
concept of exchangeability, expressivity and reproducibility for mobile movie
contents.
In "atMOS", based on the sub-concept of "self packaging movie", users can
make an original promotion movie of themselves which can be viewed on 3G
cellular phones. Users can enjoy the original movie not only by themselves but
also with other people by exchanging these movies as a communication tool,
using the cellular phone.
