Hidden Systems


Image and information from: www.pixelsumo.com

Above is a picture of the Tuttuki Bako, a Japanese toy that is a handheld system that involves a rather unusual method of interaction...



... as is obvious from the video and picture above, the user has to interact with just one finger placed inside the "virtual world", and interacts by the output on the screen.

In the context of how the system is just one part to the user, and the user only has one way to interact with the toy, it is a great example of how the reduction of parts to one whole object can 'make' the experience to a user or player.
