Get the new Development Kit based on Anoto pens
The Interactive Surface Development Kit is a complete development kit based on the digital pens from Anoto. The Anoto-based pens scan a dot pattern upon motion and build a 2D representation of the drawn trajectory with a very high degree of accuracy. Based on this Development Kit, you can develop your own large surfaces (tabletop/digital [...]
Mobilkom Austria is supporting the Media Interaction Lab
Mobilkom Austria is supporting the Media Interaction Lab. The lab got hardware, which will be evaluated within the NiCE research center. The overall goal is to find intuitive interfaces not only for large displays (e.g. tabletops, interactive whiteboards), but also for small devices.
Stacey D. Scott @ Media Interaction Lab
Stacey D. Scott from the University of Waterloo visited for a week the Media Interaction Lab. During her visit, she taught the course “Interactive Environments” focusing on Collaborative Systems Design .

Media Interaction Lab @ SIGGRAPH 2008
The Media Interaction Lab presents IncreTable at SIGGRAPH 2008 (August 11-15, 2008). The installation will be presented in the category “New Tech Demo”. IncreTable is a tabletop game inspired by the Incredible Machine. It provides a multi-modal interaction based on a bi-directional projection tabletop, digital pens, a depth camera, and custom-made physical objects, while attracting [...]
More information about NiCE
More information about the new research studio NiCE can be found here. There is still place for companies to join this research project. For the next 3 years we will focus on novel large surfaces and new interaction techniques which are going to be embedded in our daily-life environment (e.g. living room, conference room etc.). [...]
Short-term visit @ Singapore
Currently, Jakob and Michael are visiting the National University of Singapore (NUS) for more than two months. Jakob is working at the Interactive Multimedia Lab performing an evaluation study for the IncreTable game, which will be demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2008. Moreover, we will develop a light-version of our multi-touch and pen-based interface (FLUX). Finally, we [...]
NICE (Natural user Interfaces for Collaborative Environments)
Great news: our proposal for the Austrian Research Center “NICE, Natural user Interfaces for Collaborative Environments”, has been accepted. For the next 3 years we will focus on novel large surfaces and new interaction techniques which are going to be embedded in our daily-life environment (e.g. living room, conference room etc.). We will primarily focus [...]
