I am a graduate student at Parsons The New School for Design, studying Design and Technology with a focus on physical computing and tangibility. Naturally, having worked at the New York Hall of Science for several years prior to returning to school, my love for informal science education brought me back to you all for some wanted wisdom.

Specifically, I am looking for exhibitions (or specific exhibits within them) that have users physically manipulate objects as a control interface for some interaction. Beyond run-of-the-mill, push buttons and switches, these innovative interactions would ideally engage users on a deeper tactile level, with users both inputting information to the system by manipulating objects and receiving information from it via tactile feedback. Again, this would be ideal, but any leads you have would be greatly appreciated! I have found a few papers from Tufts University on some TUIs at the Boston MOS, but would really love more.
