| Abstract | The FUNtain (TM) is a new input device in which a user inputs data by direct interaction with fluid, such as with one or more air or water jets. There is usually a (re)strictometer for each jet that measures the degree of restriction of fluid flow for that jet, such that the time-varying changes in restrictometric quantities provide an input to another process. For example, 61 restrictometers are used to provide a directacting waterpipe organ as a musical instrument in which notes are played by blocking fluid (air or water) emerging from each of the 61 holes spaced along a copper pipe that forms the housing for the musical instrument. When used with liquids, such a fluid-user interface based on the image processing of water sprays is proposed to create a new form of input device. In particular, the methodology exploits the unique optical properties of fluids that become manifest when a fountain or spray is illuminated as it would typically be for an exhibit, display, or performance. Most notably, the form of illumination that is most desirable for aesthetic reasons turns out to assist simple image processing of the water flow. In this way, an interactive performance environment is created that is ideally suited to real-time image processing as a means of data input. The resulting methodology gives rise to a liquid-user-interface, played by one or more people, interacting with water jets, such as by blocking, partially blocking, diverting, or otherwise engaging with the spray. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
