MRI – Mixed Reality Interface
KOMMERZ develops individualised concepts and products in the fields of visual media and design. They were showing their Mixed Reality Interface (MRI) concept at Siggraph 2006 which was also seen at last years CeBIT.

This is an input device for computer applications where a user can interact with the system by manipulating physical objects such as models, figures, blocks etc.
Positioning and rotating the physical object defines the the movement in the application.
I tried it out using objects including a camera and lights to set up an environment similar to that shown where I could experiment with various lighting and camera settings in the car photo-studio representation. It seemed a natural and easy way to interface with the system.
Better quality videos can be viewed from their website, but here is a “live” video showing the system in operation at Siggraph.
