Bring together researchers from across Georgia Tech to provide an innovative cross-disciplinary perspective on physical-virtual codesign, bridging technology research and development, traditional product design and the sociocultural context of digital media technologies.

With the technological advances of the past decade, computing has progressively moved beyond the desktop into new physical and social contexts. This is evidenced by growing research trends in the computing field, including tangible interfaces, physical computing, ubiquitous computing, and mobile and embedded computing.

As digital applications move from desktop and office workplace settings, they gain relevance within our everyday lives and spaces: homes, classrooms, public spaces, cultural or historical settings, scientific laboratories and beyond. At the same time, as physical objects and spaces gain new computational behaviors, they become increasingly complex: customizable, reprogrammable, repurposable and interoperable.

ROSS is a coordinated research effort at Georgia Tech to continue research on tangible obects and interfaces which will cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our goal is to bring together researchers from a variety of fields including computing, electronics, media, design, architecture and social sciences to study, design, and build responsive objects, surfaces and spaces.
