Dirty Tangible Interfaces (DIRTI) offer a playful, interactive, sonorous and visual journey for people ages two and up. Through manipulations and listening, sight and hearing is solicited.  When children sink their hands in different materials that fill interactive tubs they set off sounds and images.

DIRTI is designed by User Studio/Matthieu Savary with audio and interaction development by Diemo Schwarz and Norbert Schnell, ISMM team, Ircam-STMS. Composition by Ariadna Alsina and Emmanuelle Lizère.

Le son au bout des doigts installation, Centre Pompidou

Le son au bout des doigts is an installation shown 1.6.–18.6. at the Centre Pompidou and part of Ircam’s Manifeste festival.

It offers a playful, interactive, sonorous and visual journey for children ages two and up. Through manipulations and listening, the children’s sight and hearing is solicited. In Topo-phonie Café imagined by B. MacFarlane, the children are guided by a game of organic structures. They set special tables that create sonorous suprises.

With DIRTI developed by User Studio/Matthieu Savary, when children sink their hands in different materials that fill interactive tubs they set off sounds and images.

For  Topo-Phonie café I developed a new interaction method with a table, based on gesture recognition technology by the ISMM team and contact interaction.

For the Dirty Tangible Interfaces (DIRTI), I ported the sound engine to a Linux SBC and adapted the Mac software for the quadrophonic DIRTI XL.

See this article on France Musique for an appreciation.

DIRTI for iPad — the World’s First Tapioca Controller

Dirty Tangible Interfaces (DIRTI) are a new concept in interaction design that forgoes the dogma of repeatability in favor of a richer and more complex experience, constantly evolving, irreversible & infinitely modifiable. The video resuming 4 days of experimentation with a tangible interface and iPad app specially designed for kids at the Maison des Petits of the cultural centre CENTQUATRE in Paris is now online.
