Outline of Final Research Achievements

The tangible user interface is a more realistic interface that renews the concept of existing interfaces and makes it possible to directly touch untyped information (tangible). It removes constraints by interfaces such as complicated input tasks and further shortens the distance between human and computer.
In this research, we examined the tangible user interface in dance from the three viewpoints of doll like input device QUMARION, visualization of motion capture (simulation), CG animation by dance notation method and control of robot movement.
