AVI08 took place last week in beautiful Naples (Italy). No piles of rubbish at all, so we could enjoy the nice city and the really interesting conference. Our paper and digital whiteboard project (Paperizer) was shown as well as the result of last year’s cooperation with MERL, a combination of pen and direct touch interaction for controlling Photoshop. Visit or updated project pages to get more information, watch the videos or download the paper and presentation slides!
Some words about the highlights of the conference.
Slit-Tear from Anthony Tang is a really nice video analysis project that uses video slicing to extract regions of interest from a video stream. Looks fancy and I’m sure that there are some projects where this could be very useful. Check out the video.
CityWall is a public interactive wall installation from Ubiquitous Interaction group at the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.
On Saturday, the PPD 08 (Workshop on designing multi-touch interaction techniques for coupled public and private displays) took place. We had some interesting presentations there and a brainstorming session about technologies and interactions with public and private displays. You’ll find the proceedings here.
Here are some impressions from that week.
