This work concentrates on garments that reflect more subtle, playful, or poetic aspects of our identity and history.This pieces described here are part of a larger research project called Memory Rich Clothing.

Through physical sensors and local displays, TouchCounters record and display usage history information upon physical storage containers, thus allowing access to this information during the performance of real-world tasks. A distributed communications network allows this data to be exchanged with a server, such that users can access this information from remote locations as well. Based upon prior work in ubiquitous computing and tangible interfaces, TouchCounters incorporate new techniques, including usage history tracking for physical objects and multi-display visualization. This paper describes the components, interactions, implementation, and conceptual approach of the TouchCounters system.

This tilt- and shake-sensitive interface captures the expressive nuances,of continuously varying spatiotemporal input, making possible a set of applications heretofore difficult or impossible to implement in such a small device. We provide examples of such applications, including a paint program and some simple animation

This paper discusses Ambient Displays: a new approach to interfacing people with online digital information. Ambient Displays present information within a space through subtle changes in light, sound, and movement, which can be processed in the background of awareness. We describe the design and implementation of two example Ambient Displays, the ambientROOM and Ambient Fixtures. Additionally, we discuss applications of Ambient Displays and propose theories of design of such interfaces based on our initial experiences.

The labels record and display accumulated usage information directly upon physical storage containers, thus allowing access to this information during the performance of physical tasks. A distributed communications network allows remote access to this data from the Internet. This video demonstrates the functionality
