Z-agon is researched in a field of Human Computer Interaction. The design is descended from Ubiquitous computing [1] and Tangible Interface [2].
Z-agon enable users to interact with many digital informations in a physical manner.

Recently, digital gadgets such as iPods, Nintendo, PSP and high-end cellar phones are popular in the global market.
User needs are heading to new experiences on an interactive contents.

Now we designed Z-agon as a multi-media computer which has the interface and interactive contents packed into one physical shape.
Z-agon will be a solution for a new media experience.
