Slurp: locative media

In this video I demonstrate how slurp can be used to access information stored in digital tags on any object. Slurp vibrates when it senses a signal and is then used like an eyedropper to grab and display content.

Slurp is tangible interface for manipulating abstract digital information as if it were water. Taking the form of an eyedropper, Slurp can extract (slurp up) and inject (squirt out) pointers to digital objects. We have created Slurp to explore the use of physical metaphor, feedback, and affordances in tangible interface design when working with abstract digital media types. Our goal is to privilege spatial relationships between devices and people while providing new physical manipulation techniques for ubiquitous computing environments.
