Really interesting concept for using the human body as an input device. More info from the website “Appropriating the human body as an input device is appealing not only because we have roughly two square meters of external surface area, but also because much of it is easily accessible by our hands (e.g., arms, upper legs, torso). Furthermore, proprioception (our sense of how our body is configured in three-dimensional space) allows us to accurately interact with our bodies in an eyes-free manner. For example, we can readily flick each of our fingers, touch the tip of our nose, and clap our hands together without visual assistance. Few external input devices can claim this accurate, eyes-free input characteristic and provide such a large interaction area.”

Researchers from the University of British Columbia have designed a personal cubic head-coupled 3D display that shows reactive 3D scenes. The cube automatically adjusts to movements and allows users to interact with objects inside a virtual 3D world rendered inside the cube. More information on the research website.
