Neat stuff. Thanks for posting Erik : ) I wonder if one could do something simmilar for much less $ by gutting some USB optical mice and putting the sensor assemblies in a LEGO(R) Shell. Wireless mice would be even better. Hmmmm.. where'd the mouse (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

Old news but I just found it yesterday: 'Bricks' in CHI'95 Researchers at NTT and U-Toronto try physical markers on a desk as graspable user interfaces. (With help from Modulex.) The 'Bricks' are little cubes on a desk, and their positions are (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

BrickDraw3D came back to OS X 10.1.5/CW8.1 yesterday as a Carbon app. The same old problems exist, but, instead of crashing OS X, they generate nice little access faults which are caught normally in the debugger. There are about a dozen bugs to fix (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
