This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to accelerate commercialization of a new human-computer interface (HCI) platform: Siftables. These are small, wireless, gesture-sensitive displays that act together as one interface. People can efficiently execute cognitive tasks through manipulation of groups of physical objects. These abilities find little purchase in both keyboard/mouse User Interfaces (UIs) and newer UIs with single displays. The proposed platform provides a UI that can address a broad range of human-computer tasks, from media creation to data analysis to social communication. Historically, the entertainment domain has provided a profitable staging area in which to introduce novel UI systems - this market is large, has price flexibility, and its consumers have a demonstrated desire for novel interactions. This domain will provide a path to profitability, familiarize consumers with multi-object interfaces and allow the Siftables technology time to mature before other market opportunities are pursued. If successful, this system will allow the company to advance the state of the art of distributed operating systems and sensor networks.

这个小型企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第二阶段项目旨在加速新型人机界面 (HCI) 平台的商业化：Siftables。这些是小型、无线、手势敏感的显示器，它们一起充当一个界面。 人们可以通过操纵一组物理对象来有效地执行认知任务。这些功能在键盘/鼠标用户界面 (UI) 和具有单显示器的较新 UI 中几乎没有什么用处。所提出的平台提供了一个用户界面，可以解决从媒体创建到数据分析再到社交沟通的广泛人机任务。 从历史上看，娱乐领域为引入新颖的 UI 系统提供了一个有利可图的舞台——这个市场很大，价格灵活，而且消费者对新颖的交互表现出明显的渴望。该领域将提供一条盈利之路，让消费者熟悉多对象界面，并让 Siftables 技术有时间成熟，然后再寻求其他市场机会。 如果成功，该系统将使该公司能够推进分布式操作系统和传感器网络的最先进水平。
