“…In 2008, we made demonstration of our system in Japan, France and US. [1][2] [3] As we reported in our 2010 paper [4], three different balls (a beach ball type, Sepak Takraw type, and a rubber ball type) were developed. We selected these three types because the ball had to express itself through our application of full-color LEDs, while at the same time, it needed to be protected against strong shocks.…”

We report on the development of "Bouncing Star," a smart-ball system, and its applications as an entertainment system. The concept of a "smart-ball interface" is described. We then explain the interaction of the expressions of the ball that we produced. The Bouncing Star has been exhibited ten times, and over 10,000 people have participated in the exhibitions. We discuss the possibilities for a smart-ball interface in the future, based on the observations of exhibition experience. Straight move, (with and without spin) Ball is thrown, (with and without spin) Ball is caught, Bounce (on wall, floor)Interactions (lighting, sound, text/image and graphic interaction, haptic interaction, information processing, and wireless function)
