  1. MouseHaus Table:A Tangible User Interface for Urban Design Chen-Je Huang Design Machine Group

  2. Community Design Activities • Using colored paper/street map to engage urban discussion

  3. Motivation • How can we enhance design collaboration? How can we support design decisions? • Add computing power to the design process • Get the computing power off the screen and bring urban discussion to the table

  4. MouseHaus Table • A tabletop interactive simulation for urban design which provides a novel interface and simulation feedback

  5. MouseHaus • A simple pedestrian simulation for urban open space

  6. MouseHaus Table PROJECTOR CAMERA TABLETOP

  7. Ordinary Objects • The users select what they want to use in the simulation

  8. One-Click Registration BUILDING PARK \ /

  9. Real-time simulation Visual feedback Simulation and Feedback

  10. Demo • Downtown map on the table • Register red paper as buildings • Register green paper as parks • Run the simulation • Show the pattern • Ordinary objects as the interface

  11. Related Work • Urp, MIT 1999 • EDC, University of Colorado 2000 • Luminous Table, MIT 2002

  12. What’s the difference? • Ordinary objects as the interface • Easy setup

  13. Initial User Study Data Collection • Verbal Interaction • Gestural Interaction • Questionnaire • Post-Interview

  14. Findings • Numbers of Communication Events (verbal/gestural) • Changes made by Participants A, B, and C

  15. User Feedback • I like the way you manipulate, you can use your hand, you can move the paper. It creates the interaction between people and the computer - the interaction, the movement in the design process is really important - so through your movement of hand, it’s more real, tangible

  16. Future Work • Advance the study about tangible interaction in the group setting • Build an interface that makes the rules of simulation visible

  17. Summary • MouseHaus Table uses ordinary objects as interface. It provides urban designers and community members an interactive simulation to support urban decisions.
