Multipen interaction on small projective display

blade_09.jpgBigger is not always better!

Multitouch @ Laval Virtual

laval_08_multitouch.jpgLike my previous post on my multi-touch experiences at this years Cebit trade fair I also want to sum up my recent experiences with multi-touch projects at the Laval Virtual Exhibition. While virtual reality still being the main focus of the exhibition, interfaces always have been a very important part of this come-together of the virtual reality community. At Laval Virtual 2007 our project “Shared Design Space” was pretty much the only large scale interactive table that enabled accurate multiuser interaction (video). This year however multi touch is big and it is also big in Laval!

Warning: Detailed information ahead! ;)

Flux at ITnT

flux_thumb2.jpgFrom February 5-7, we will present the latest result of the Media Interaction Lab at Austria’s Trade Fair for Information Technology and Telecommunication (ITnT).

Make sure coming to the exhibition. You will enjoy Flux, a hybrid between interactive table and whiteboard, at the Microsoft booth right in the center of hall A, Messezentrum, Vienna.

Interactive, multi-touch devices are rapidly increasing in popularity across many industries. Flux allows multiple modes of interaction in a variety of configurations, allowing increased flexibility, usability and productivity. Flux’s application interface is automatically optimized for the intended use depending on its orientation. Flux can be used as a sketch board, a discussion table or a white-board. Transformation between different orientations is single handedly achieved easily and elegantly.
