A computer is an incredibly powerful means

that expression is confined to the screens

to move things around and interact with us

off of the screen and into the physical world

a luxury fashion store called Barneys New York,

I was designing storefront kinetic sculptures

in which the man scoots up behind the woman

and there are magnets underneath the table

a robotic harp for Bjork's Biophilia tour

so the harp swings on its axis and also rotates

in order to play different musical notes,

at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago,

and this exhibit lets people use physical objects

to grab chemical elements off of the periodic table

were spending a lot of time with this exhibit,

and a researcher from a science education center

in Australia decided to study this exhibit

that people were using were helping people

and were helping people learn in a social way.

And when you think about
it, this makes a lot of sense,

would help people use an interface more easily.

I mean, our hands and our minds are optimized

to think about and interact with tangible objects.

Think about which you find easier to use,

a physical keyboard or an onscreen keyboard

is that they really had to be built from scratch,

all the mechanisms all the way up to the software.

where we could move objects
under computer control

without having to go through this process

and together they were able to move objects around

where you could have this kind of interaction

and each of these robots has
what are called omni wheels.

that can move equally easily in all directions,

for interacting with digital information.
