\nThroughout the electronic age, people have become accustom
 ed to interacting with digital media indirectly, mediated through screens a
 nd peripheral devices. But now, as digital technology becomes invisibly emb
 edded in everyday things, the “feeling” of everyday things is also increasi
 ngly becoming embedded in digital technology.
\n
\nIn many senses, physical
  objects are becoming more important. In an immediate way, they can help us
  define new systems of relationships with digital information. Luke William
 s, Creative Director at frog design, examines how perceptions and gestures 
 formed through our experiences with physical products can effectively bring
  liberty to the relationship between brain, body, and digital media interfa
 ce.
