Adding Interactivity to Paper: Techniques for Hybrid Paper Electronic interfaces

这是三年延续合同的前18个月。纸是一种进化良好的表达和记录信息的媒介。它既便宜又无处不在。它具有高度的可移植性，提供了非常高的可读性，并且大多数人已经非常熟悉它的使用。然而，纸主要是一种静态和非互动的媒体。它不提供电子媒体的许多好处，如索引、搜索、自定义、超链接和动态内容。这个项目的目标是发展和评价新技术，使各种形式的电子能力能够添加到纸质材料中或与纸质材料结合使用。为此目的，将建造新的设备，使纸在几个方面。此外，将开发利用这些新设备功能的新交互技术。最后，将构建应用程序并与用户一起测试，以验证这项新技术的好处。这个项目的最终产品将是技术和技术，使纸张材料方便地作为计算对象参与。通过将计算机功能引入日常用品，我们希望增加计算机在人类条件下使用的程度，使机器适应人的工作方式，而不是人适应机器。

This is the first 18 months of a three-year continuation award. Paper is a well-evolved media for expressing and recording information. It is inexpensive and ubiquitous. It is highly portable, provides a very high degree of readability, and its use is already highly familiar to most people. However, paper is primarily a static and non-interactive media. It does not offer the many benefits of electronic media such as indexing, searching, customization, hyperlinking, and dynamic content. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate new techniques that allow various forms of electronic capabilities to be added to or used in conjunction with, paper materials. To this end, new devices will be constructed which enable paper in several ways. In addition, new interaction tchniqu4es will be developed which exploit these new device capabilities. Finally, applications will be built and tested with users to validate the benefits of this new technology. The end product of this project will be technology and techniques which allow paper materials to conveniently participate as computational objects. By bringing computer capabilities to everyday objects, we hope to increase the extent to which computers can be used on human terms, with machines adapting to the work style of the person rather that the person adapting to the machine.
