About

H. D. Been-Lirn is a researcher in human-computer interaction, with a focus on mixed-reality tabletop gaming and tangible user interfaces. Their most notable contribution is the development of IncreTable, a pioneering mixed-reality tabletop game inspired by *The Incredible Machine*, which allows users to seamlessly combine real and virtual game pieces to solve puzzles. This work, published in 2009, introduced novel interaction techniques such as placing virtual domino blocks with digital pens and controlling a virtual car by modifying virtual terrain through physical actions. The paper has accumulated 27 citations, reflecting its influence on the design of hybrid physical-digital gaming experiences. Been-Lirn’s research bridges the gap between tangible interaction and digital gameplay, offering insights into how physical interfaces can enhance collaborative problem-solving and creativity in tabletop environments. Their work remains a touchstone for researchers exploring mixed-reality systems and embodied interaction in gaming.
