Steve Mann A liquid user interface is presented for applications such as immersive multimedia. In one version, one or more sprays or jets create an immersive multimedia environment in which a participant bather can interact within the immersive multimedia environment by blocking, partially blocking, diverting, or otherwise engaging with the spray, to create computational input, in environments such as showers, baths, hot tubs, waterplay areas, gardens, and the like. In some versions, the spraying is computationally controlled, so that the spray creates a tactile user-interface for the control of such devices as new musical instruments. These may be installed in public fountains to result in a fluid user interface to music by playing in the fountains. Introduction: The Liquid User Interface (abbreviated as "LUI" or "LiqUIface") pertains generally to a new kind of input/output device that may be used, for example, to control a computer or a musical instrument.
Aspen Movie Map
The Aspen Movie Map was a revolutionary hypermedia system developed at MIT by a team working with Andrew Lippman in 1978 with funding from ARPA. Features[edit] The Aspen Movie Map enabled the user to take a virtual tour through the city of Aspen, Colorado (that is, a form of surrogate travel). A gyroscopic stabilizer with four 16mm stop-frame film cameras was mounted on top of a car with an encoder that triggered the cameras every ten feet. The film was assembled into a collection of discontinuous scenes (one segment per view per city block) and then transferred to laserdisc, the analog-video precursor to modern digital optical disc storage technologies such as DVDs. The interaction was controlled through a dynamically-generated menu overlaid on top of the video image: speed and viewing angle were modified by the selection of the appropriate icon through a touch-screen interface, harbinger of the ubiquitous interactive-video kiosk. Aspen was filmed in early fall and winter. Credits[edit]

Gordon Bell
Gordon Bell C. Gordon Bell (born August 19, 1934) is an American electrical engineer and manager. Early life and education[edit] Chester Gordon Bell was born in Kirksville, Missouri. Bell received a B.S. (1956), and M.S. (1957) in electrical engineering from MIT. Career[edit] Digital Equipment Corporation[edit] The DEC founders Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson recruited him for their new company in 1960, where he designed the I/O subsystem of the PDP-1, including the first UART. After DEC, Bell went to Carnegie Mellon University in 1966 to teach computer science, but returned to DEC in 1972 as vice-president of engineering, where he was in charge of the VAX, DEC's most successful computer. Entrepreneur and policy advisor[edit] Bell retired from DEC in 1983 as the result of a heart attack, but soon after founded Encore Computer, one of the first shared memory, multiple-microprocessor computers to use the snooping cache structure.
