Donald Barnhart first used Mathematica to develop optical design and analysis software for his own research in optics. Now, scientists around the world use his Mathematica-based Optica software for applications in fiber optics, lasers, and telescopes. For him, the biggest advantage of Mathematica is obtaining insights on his computer he would normally only get from [...]

PAPER ABSTRACT
This note examines the role traditional input devices can play in surface computing. Mice and keyboards can enhance tabletop technologies since they support high fidelity input, facilitate interaction with distant objects, and serve as a proxy for user identity and position. Interactive tabletops, [...]

PAPER ABSTRACT:
Previous work has demonstrated the viability of applying offline analysis to interpret forearm electromyography (EMG) and classify finger gestures on a physical surface. We extend those results to bring us closer to using musclecomputer interfaces for always-available input in real-world applications. We leverage [...]
