We describe our cloud interface that integrates blimps with input and output functions to allow unique entertainment applications. Floating interfaces are advantageous because they move through the air and above people, enabling people to simultaneously share information obtained from these blimps. To create a floating interface environment, we installed projectors inside the blimps to provide the output function, allowing our cloud interface to work as both a display and projector. Several sensors, such as cameras and ultrasonic sensors attached to the blimps, provide the input function. All of the blimps have a small computer and network module, so they can communicate with people and also with one another. Because our cloud interface has characteristic features such as weightlessness and flexibility, the interaction between humans and computer dynamically changes more than with conventional augmented reality systems. We describe our cloud interface and its practical applications.
