Post-bit: embodied video contents on tiny stickies

Post-Bit is a small e-paper device modeled after paper PostIts r 1 . We explored and designed interfaces to handle multimedia contents with paper-like manipulations using this epaper device. The functions of each Post-Bit combined the affordance of physical tiny sticky memos and digital handling of information. At this stage of the design, we have prototyped two features of the interface: connecting computer-based workspaces and physical workspaces (using a function called Drop-Beyond-Drag), and tangible and tactile operation of multi-media contents. In this paper, we present the integrated design and functionality of the PostBit system’s main components as shown in the video scenario.
