Abstract. The tangible manipulation technique corresponding with three dimensional display techniques is an important factor for the real world oriented interface. In this paper, we propose the real world oriented tangible interface with stereoscopic objective display that enables haptic sensation for sound manipulation. We use the plastic cushion as tangible interface material, and employ duality rendering that enables 3D projection to freeform screen for stereoscopic image projection on the cushion. The characteristic of the material of cushion enabled moderated feeling in pressure, three dimensional manipulation, and capture of manipulated data. In the projection of 3D images, duality rendering method enabled distortion-free 3D display at the cushion without wearing any glasses, just using a headphone attached position sensor for sound monitoring. We verified the tangible interface with the 3D objective display utilizing the plastic cushion, and its possibility. We also verified possibility of the 3D tangible interface for sound manipulation. We try to give substance to sound, which originally does not have a solid 3D form and cannot be touched directly by hands.
