spime: What would it be like to reach into a screen and manipulate virtual objects as in the real world. Beyond is a novel collapsible input device for direct 3D manipulation. When pressed against a screen, Beyond collapses in the physical world and extends into the digital space of the screen, such that users can have an illusion that they are inserting the tool into the virtual space. This interface is inhabiting an interesting space between manipulation rooted in the virtual and manipulation rooted in the physical. I don’t have much to say about it now, but I plan to read the paper and contemplate it.
