This site represents the first freely-available online resource to support the sensor-selection process in human-computer interaction design. It was developed under EPSRC Project (GR/R45253) Developing Support for Sensor-based Human-Machine Interaction.

The site contains two main resources for interaction designers:

+ A database of sensors.
+ A tool for protyping sensor-based interactive systems.

The database can be searched in one of three ways; by sensor type, by sensor property (or phenomena) or by application domain. In addition a glossary of terminology is included along with a list of other, sensor-related resources.

Prototyping support takes the form of an extensible universal sensor interface (USI), called Liquid.
