Blowing Gently...

Antenna Design - Masamichi Udagawa + Sigi Moeslinger
pop!

The installation is a reflection on ephemerality. The memory of a nostalgic childhood trinket, a soap bubble maker, serves as the point of interaction for the central piece, hinting at the subtle action of blowing. Visitors become an integral part of the installation, as it is their breathing which unfolds a chain of events.

breathing, the subtle action of blowing.

By blowing at different lengths and intensities, visitors create and inflate male and female creatures, which subsequently seem to float off into space. Each creature has an individual behaviour which causes different reactions when colliding with one another. Eventually all creatures fade away or disappear into a void.

pop!

A second piece, "day six", is presented in the smaller gallery space. This object, also activated by the visitor's breath, plays on the creation myth. Visitors are invited to breathe various randomly selected qualities into their own image via a pair of abstracted nostrils in front of a mirror. When blowing, one can watch oneself exhaling and inhaling a swarm of images representing qualities such as youth or beauty.

Bubble Talk

MIT Media Lab - Kyung Yun Choi + Hiroshi Ishii
pop!

In this project the ephemeral and intangible aspects of human communication are represented by a soap-bubble. The shapeless, intangible, and insubstantial speech—once the speech is shouted out through the speaker's mouth, it disappears unless someone hears it immediately, or even if it is heard, the message will be forgotten as time goes—is transferred to a semi-tangible yet still fleeting bubble.

pop!

The bubble machine that we created provides person-to-person and person-to-space interaction. The machine has a iris mechanism that varies its outlet size reacting to the participant's speech pattern as if it tries to talk something. Once the participant pauses, the machine blows out various sizes of bubble. The floating bubble represents the subtle state of a message from interpersonal communications that lies in the middle of real and digital world. Also, it creates a certain delay until it pops, which is a metaphor of our behavior that we often delay to send out text-messages through chatting apps. We believe that anyone can be an artist. By open sourcing the details of fabrication process and materials, we want to encourage people to build the machine, interact with it at any locations, and use and modify it as a art tool for realizing their own ideas whether it is for art or not.

Soap Bubble User Interface

Pervasive Computing and User Interface Engineering

An important quality of tangible user interfaces is the materiality of the objects used for the interaction.

How to choose appropriate low-tech materials for interaction?

A big potential of tangible user interfaces is that they take advantage of materials and form for interaction

how to use material properties and cultural material knowledge to construct meaningful, intuitive and, appropriate tangible user interfaces

Tangible user interfaces is a further field of research that stresses the importance and potentials of materiality for interactions between humans and computers.


•Material Mind: How can we integrate a collective “material mind” into design knowledge for tangible user interfaces?


•Material Properties: How can we better understand material properties for meaningful and context adequate interaction?


•Material Mapping: How does the used material relate to the linked digital data and what mappings are useful?

Among first exploratory prototypes is the soap bubble user interface [5], a TUI that uses soap bubbles for human-computer interaction and, in this case, employs an extreme and unusual material with specific material properties to define and constrain interaction techniques, among which were gently touching, blowing, or waving hands to move a soap bubble (see figure 2). The material-focused approach led to a concept for ephemeral user interfaces: UIs that can be created when needed, but only last for a short time.

Valuing the Aesthetics of Interface Components That Do Not Last

We always found that people were attracted to the bubbles and really enjoyed playing around with them, experiencing their bursting and exploring possible interac- tion techniques and mappings to control sound and light. By using soap bubbles for interaction, we applied a material that on the one hand comes with a wealth of nice properties—such as the bubbles’ perfectly round shapes, the beauti- ful reflections on their thin skins, and their tendency to burst after a short while—and on the other hand has strong connotations and mean- ings, from playfulness to a vani- tas symbol for the transience of human life. All of these properties and semantics were available to be used for the interaction.

First, the ephemeral (i.e., transient) is a natural phenomenon that yields potential for application in HCI but that has not yet been thought of as part of reality-based interaction [2].

ephemerality as a design concept has the potential to address the problem of cognitive overload due to the huge amount of data that gets represented in ubiquitous computing systems nowadays. This also leads to the question of how ephemerality can be designed into the digital.

Ephemerality is an important aspect of human life

People generally love the ephemeral as an event and a sen- sation, for example, in the form of performances or fireworks. When something is there for only a lim- ited time, experiencing it is special.

Important for regarding something as an artistic material in this broader context of con- temporary art is the existence of certain meanings of the material in a cultural context, as well as the evocation of a specific, often multi- sensory perception of the material. Even fire, air, or light can be regard- ed as materials of art if used in a meaningful way.

An interaction material can be any material that is used in a meaningful way for the interaction, that has certain mean- ings in a cultural context, and that evokes a multisensory perception. Here, we are specifically interested in ephemeral interaction materials.

We define ephemeral user inter- faces as “a class of user interfaces that contain at least one UI ele- ment that is intentionally created to last for a limited time only. The durability of the UI element is determined by its intrinsic material properties in combination with its surrounding ecosystem. While their ephemeral UI element(s) exist(s), ephemeral user interfaces pro- vide a rich and multisensory user experience. They may deliberately be designed to offer only partial or imperfect user control” [5].

Ephemeral UI elements are characterized by two important features. First of all, they are time- based. This means that parts of the interface are designed not to last. How long they last varies depending on their material, their surrounding ecosystem, and what determines their disappearance or degradation. Ideally, the disappear- ance of UI elements fits the intend- ed interaction with the interface and its user experience. This could be due to the fact that UI elements are needed for only a short time or that users should be engaged in destroying them and creating new ones. UI elements might also disap- pear to simply raise attention or to limit the user’s mental load by pre- senting information unobtrusively in the background for a limited time. With ephemeral user interfac- es, temporality becomes part of the meaning of the interaction.

A sec- ond focus of ephemeral UI elements lies on the qualities and aesthetics of the materials used for interac- tion.

ephemeral user interfaces contain materials that carry special embed- ded meanings from other contexts, often ones deeply inscribed into the cultural context of their users

In our design space, we focus on three aspects of ephemeral UIs: materials for ephemeral UI elements, interaction, and ephemerality

One relevant aspect of materials for user interfaces is the purpose of their selection.

the properties of a certain material—for example, its physical, mechanical, electrical, optical, eco-, thermal, or acoustic properties—led to its usage within a user interface.

material semantics—a material's meaning, history, and typical ways of use in a certain cultural context or environ- ment.

This yields the potential to cluster interaction techniques based on the states of matter. Interaction. We distinguish between interfaces where the ephemeral material is used for output only, those that use the ephemeral material for input only, and those that use one ephemeral material for both input and output.

These UIs receive their input either from a com- puter or from a user. If the input comes from a computer system, it can either involve no interac- tion by users—for example, when displaying digital information—or include implicit interaction—input based on tracked human behav- ior, often without the users real- izing this. In a further category, ephemeral materials are used for output and the system allows user input, but the input and output spaces are not the same (indirect interaction). The next class of user interfaces uses ephemeral materi- als for input only

UIs that use ephemeral materi- als for input and output ideally unify the input and output space and often are realized by gestural interaction with and projections onto ephemeral materials

Ephemerality. One of the charac- teristics of ephemeral user inter- faces is that parts of the UIs are not designed to last. This leads to two design parameters: first, how the disappearance or degrada- tion of ephemeral UI elements is determined, and second, the class of durability of ephemeral UI ele- ments.

We identified three different mecha- nisms: natural phenomena (e.g., gravitation, phase transformation, disappearing sunlight, bubbles that naturally burst), user interaction (e.g., bursting a bubble by touch- ing, eating food), and system trig- ger (e.g., as applied in ferrofluid interfaces).

(flexible durability). Ice is an example of a material that can last forever if the temperature is low enough but that can also melt from one moment to another.

HCI commu- nity: First, design tools for material- focused user interfaces is a promising research direction to elaborate on the physical materials’ aspects and meanings for interaction. Second, ephemeral smart materials focuses on the application of novel and artifi- cial materials for interaction. And third, as natural materials and tan- gible interaction are not necessar- ily suitable for all user interfaces, nature and ephemerality as metaphor for hardware and software design forms another strand of research.

material-focused interaction vocabulary for ephemeral UIs

toolkits that support the integra- tion of a variety of different materi- als for interaction.

this would most likely lead to much richer textures for interac- tion and an integration of the fasci- nating phenomena nature offers.

reality-based interaction that suggests starting to think from real-world phenomena when designing interaction

The designer’s challenge lies in balancing computational power and reality.

Nature and ephemerality as metaphor for hardware and software design.

How could hardware and software elements grow, get older, degrade, or even decay as things in nature do? (...) ephemerality could also be a strong concept for software design.

Interactive Blow and Burst of Giant Soap Bubbles

Namjung Kim + Kyoungju Park
pop!

In this paper, a user interaction-based giant soap bubble simulation system is proposed in which the free-form shape, size, and position of giant soap bubbles are determined by the user’s hand motions. Our method improves the controllability of soap bubble simulation by correcting the jerky hand trajectory and hand velocity to a smooth and gradual path. Our air flow transfer algorithm can produce detailed deformation and standing wave for soap film in real time. Our novel soap film bursting algorithm represents the process of the bursting phenomenon of soap-film and giant soap bubbles in a unified framework. The results of our experiment demonstrate that the system allows the user to experience the giant soap bubble blowing and bursting process in a virtual environment.

2.2. Related Work in Soap Bubble Simulation

Durikovic [9] proposed a method to create small spherical soap bubbles from a fixed round tube and simulate elastic deformations based on a mass-spring system. Wei et al. [10] simulated deformation and oscillation of soap bubble using spherical harmonics, and Huszar and Szecsi [11] proposed a fast method that renders dense soap foam and models foam interaction. Zheng et al. [12] presented a regional level set technique to represent complex bubble clusters, and Pan et al. [13] proposed a robust method to model soap films and soap bubbles based on an energy minimization approach. Recently, Da et al. [14] proposed a technique that simulates realistic bubble clusters and deformation of soap films and bubbles using a Lagrangian vortex sheet, and Kim et al. [3] introduced a method to simulate the formation of giant soap bubbles by using the varying surface tension with Gibbs-Marangoni elasticity. These previous studies focused on developing algorithms that handle the physical and geometrical characteristics of soap films and soap bubbles, whereby the motion of the blowing tool was simulated with a manual input or fixed state. To the best of our knowledge, no efficient method is available that allows users to experience the blowing and bursting of 3D soap bubbles by their motions.

2.3. Related Work in Air Effects

Many physics-based modeling techniques have been presented to simulate the air effects of soap bubble and cloth. A study that simulates the interaction of a wind field with a lightweight deformable object including soap bubble has been proposed [10], but it did not consider the air effect inside the soap bubble. The inflatable model [15], in which air is inflated inside the deformable surface, has been proposed, but it focused on the air pressure inside the deformable surface and did not consider air flow. The giant soap bubble creation model [3] has been proposed, but it treated air effect as air pressure based on Young Laplace’s law. Chen et al. [16] proposed an efficient technique that realistically simulates air effects between cloth and a deformable object based on Darcy’s law and the air transfer method. However, these previous studies that deal with air effects of the soap bubble and cloth did not take into account the air flow inside the giant soap bubble.

Shaboned display: an interactive substantial display using soap bubbles

Shiho Hirayama + Yasuaki Kakehi
pop!

From childhood, we often play with bubbles. We find various aes- thetic elements in a series of actions of soap bubbles: appearing, ex- panding, floating, bursting and disappearing. This time, we utilize the movements of soap bubbles as a pixel of an image and propose a novel interactive substantial display named “Shaboned Display.”

Mainly in the field of media art, many artists and designers have also used bubbles as a tool for expression. However, in most of the previous systems, bubbles float freely and randomly in air. For example, in “Bubble Cosmos [Nakamura et al. 2006]”, participants can interact with projection images by breaking floating bubbles with white smoke. “ephemeral melody [Suzuki et al. 2008]” also use bubbles as an interface. In this piece, musics are created ac- cording to the collisions of bubbles floating randomly. On the other hand, our Shaboned Display can show images by controlling the size of each soap bubble arranged in a matrix in a plane. As for the substantial displays, various types of material have also applied to construct visual images. One of the features of such display sys- tems is that each pixel has a physical form and we can touch them freely. In our system, we can use each soap bubble not only as a pixel of a display but also an input tool. By exploding the soap bubbles, the displayed images change interactively.

Bubble Cosmos

Masahiro Nakamura + Go Inaba + Jun Tamaoki + Kazuhito Shiratori + Junichi Hoshino
pop!

This paper proposes a bubble display system (Fig.1) that projects an image onto a real bubble containing smoke and changes the sound effect and image when the bubble bursts. This system enables a user to interactively enjoy written characters or other images projected onto a smoke-containing bubble, and a beautiful tone sounded upon bursting of a bubble, along with a different image projected onto the smoke. To detect a bubble and determine its bursting, a camera input image is divided into areas and each area is checked for a bubble. The bubble position and size are also detected, and an image is projected from a projector.

By using a smoke-containing bubble as a screen, this system can produce a visual effect never before available. Since an image is not projected onto the surface of a bubble but onto smoke contained in the bubble, the image appears to be inside the bubble.
