TE:BLE

Parsons Design and Technology, MFA Thesis Project (2008-2009)

TEBLE is a multi-touch interface for creative collaboration. The project is a study of hardware engineering and software design focused on multi-touch interaction. Hardware engineering employs frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR), which detects multi-finger touches on a rear-projection surface. The software features three modes of interaction: Draw, Animate, and Move.

Draw - Draw using pre-set color palette
Animate - A drawing start moving after being drawn
Move - Move and re-position a drawn object

The process includes design research, prototyping, user-testing, interface design, system engineering, and implementation at Parsons MFA thesis show. The project initiatives came from this question: What are the benefits of using a digital drawing tool over analog drawing tools? How can the use of multi-touch technology enhance the creative thinking process? I wanted to answer the question by creating a new user interaction experience through drawing functions, which cannot be achieved on a piece of paper.
