This interactive installation was developed in cooperation with MoMA New York and shown at the exhibition "Un-Private House" at MoMA in 1999. The project demonstrated early innovations in touch interaction and sensing technology, allowing visitors to explore architectural content through natural touch gestures.
Custom sensing array under the table surface
Precise x-y position detection of hands
Multiple simultaneous touch detection
Above-surface proximity sensing
Electrode charge rate measurement
Hand proximity affects charge requirements
Slower charge rate indicates hand presence
Mathematical model predicts charge amounts based on hand location
"Hotspot" recognition through charge pattern analysis
