...a digital eyedropper for manipulating abstract, digital material

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. They have created Slurp to explore the use of physical metaphor, feedback, and affordances in tangible interface design when working with abstract digital media types.

Their goal is to privilege spatial relationships between devices and people while providing new physical manipulation techniques for ubiquitous computing environments.

Unilever's Smile Ice Cream Vending Machine

2010-06-30T03:21:00.001+03:00

At Cannes 2010

The vending machine has an interesting feature, it comes with a facial recognition that detects your gender, age, mood and even how much you are smiling! Called the "Share Happy" machine, it's sole purpose at Cannes was to deliver free ice cream to those who were smiling. Detected through the "Smile-O-Meter", the machine would show you how much you were smiling and when you could smile no more it would give you a free ice cream.

But beyond the free ice cream, it's actually pretty exciting to think about what type of products a vending machine with this technology might be able to dynamically sell in the future!
