Super Cilia Skin				INDEX
	Super Cilia Skin is a literal membrane separating a computer from its environment. Like our skin, it is a haptic I/O membrane that can sense and simulate movement and wind flow. Our intention is to have it be universally applied to sheath any surface. As a display, it can mimic another person’s gesture over distance via a form of tangible telepresence. A hand-sized interface covered with Super Cilia Skin would produce subtle changes in surface texture that feel much like a “butterfly-kiss” Credits: This project originated in a class on tangible interfaces (Professor: Hiroshi Ishii) at MIT Media Lab 2003. Collaboration of James Tichenor, Hayes Raffel and Mitchel Joachim. This project was presented as a paper and talk and CHI 2003 and an article written in Textile journal Berg Publishers 2005.
