Sensei-POC

“定位”HCI（使人们能够与台式电脑和笔记本电脑等非移动计算设备进行交互的外围设备）的未来面临着一些新问题。我们总是想从更大的屏幕和更强大的计算能力中受益，这些都是定位计算机所能提供的。但是，与移动HCI相比，定位HCI的创新要少得多，而且我们所看到的创新也有严重的局限性。Sensei是物理界面设计中的一个新概念，是一种新的个人电脑物理输入设备，它将触觉和空间数据结合在一起，创造了一套新的用户交互可能性。该产品将融合我们音乐硬件Seaboard产品背后的交互概念和Leap Motion（或kinectstyle控制器）的运动控制范例。ROLI是一家科技初创公司，最初专注于音乐硬件。我们正在进行Sensei项目，因为它直接符合我们的主要使命，即通过直观的技术赋予人们力量。从更实际的角度来说，这意味着我们发明、设计和制造产品和技术——包括硬件和软件——其既定目标是增加人类智慧与数字前沿之间的互动带宽。我们专有的SEA接口技术是一项颠覆性的平台硬件创新，使高分辨率压力传感器能够嵌入任何形式的尺寸，并在广泛的行业中实现突破性的交互式设备应用。Sensei是SEA接口的一个新颖应用程序，旨在改进现有的桌面外设。Sensei的发展不仅发挥了ROLI的优势，利用了我们的设计和工程专业知识，还帮助我们完成了公司的主要使命。这个项目的目的是在9个月的时间里创建一个概念验证原型，展示Sensei概念的核心功能。

There are nascent problems that face the future of “located” HCI (peripherals devices thatenable people to interact with non-mobile computing devices, like desktops and laptops). Wewill always want to benefit from the larger screens and greater computing power that locatedcomputers enable. But located HCI has seen far less innovation than mobile HCI, and theinnovation we have seen has serious limitations.Sensei is a new concept in physical interface design, a new kind of physical input device forpersonal computers which integrates tactile and spatial data to create a new set of userinteraction possibilities. The product will be a fusion of the interaction concept behind ourmusic hardware Seaboard product and the motion-control paradigm of Leap Motion- or Kinectstylecontrollers.ROLI is a technology start-up whose initial focus has been music hardware. We areundertaking the Sensei project because it directly aligns with our primary mission, which is toempower people through intuitive technology. What this means in more practical terms is thatwe invent, design and build products and technologies – both hardware and software – whosestated aim is to increase the bandwidth of interaction between human ingenuity and the digitalfrontier. Our proprietary SEA Interface technology is a disruptive platform hardwareinnovation that enables high resolution pressure sensors to be embedded in any form factorand enables groundbreaking interactive device applications in a wide range of industries.Sensei is a novel application of the SEA Interface that is intended as an improvement overexisting desktop peripherals. Development of Sensei not only plays to ROLI’s strengths,utilising our design and engineering expertise, it also helps us fulfil our primary companymission.The purpose of this project is to create a proof-of-concept prototype demonstrating the corefunctionality of the Sensei concept over the course of 9 months.
