Tangible User Interface for CAVE based on Augmented Reality Technique
This thesis presents a new 3-dimensional (3D) user interface system for a Cave Automated Virtual Environment (CAVE) application, based on Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Tangible User Interface (TUI). We explore fundamental 3D interaction tasks with our user interface for the CAVE …

Musical composing on pitch time table based tangible tabletop interface
… that enables both novice and musically trained users to compose and play music in a creative and intuitive way. We begin with exposing the demanding value to adopt human computer interaction (HCI) into music creation especially for less musically trained users, and then go into literature review …
