About
Glen J. Anderson is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, tangible interfaces, and embedded sensing, with a focus on creating playful, intuitive systems for learning and storytelling. His most cited work, "Tangible Play Surface Using Passive RFID Sensor Array" (2018, 4 citations), introduces two innovative approaches to object sensing on surfaces using passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. This work directly led to the development of two toy prototypes: Code Maker, which integrates an RFID antenna array into a robotic fire truck to teach programming concepts through physical interaction, and Story Maker, which enables narrative construction via tangible objects. Anderson’s key contribution lies in demonstrating how low-cost, passive RFID arrays can transform everyday surfaces into interactive play environments, bridging the gap between digital and physical worlds. While his citation count is modest, his work is notable for its practical application in educational toys and its potential to inspire future research in tangible user interfaces. Anderson’s research is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring embodied interaction, sensor-based learning tools, and the design of engaging, hands-on computational experiences for children.
