Abstract

In this paper, we describe a unique and novel function of ActiveCube that develops interactive multimedia contents; a new method that reduces the load of the host PC by distributed control between the host PC and cubes. Furthermore, we propose and implement a method that restricts unnecessary packets in the network between the host PC and cubes by realizing autonomous activity of each cube and encapsulation of input/output devices. Then we conducted experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed system to achieve natural and intuitive interactions.
