Building Bowls for Miscellaneous Media
Shahram Izadi, Richard H. R. Harper, Alex S. Taylor · 2006
The features we present of the augmented bowl have been designed to exploit our commonsense understandings and everyday uses of container-like objects. As we’ll explain, in choosing the features, we’ve attempted to build on the ways in which physical content can be casually added to or retrieved from a bowl with little to no thought. We’ve also tried to capture the way bowls loosely contain their physical content, so as to enable an informal and to-hand solution for managing digital media.
