We got some really good feedback about both of our projects. Furthermore, we were able to watch some really interesting talks and presentation.

FLUX @ Medienmesse Vienna

Wohnzimmer_2012We presented FLUX at the Medienmesse in Vienna at the Wohnzimmer 2012 lounge that was initiated by the ORF Wien, ZIT and echo Medienhaus. Our partner team7 provided additional furniture for the FLUX presentation. It was a good chance to introduce FLUX to the graphics and media advertising community. We showed the flexibility and different application areas for brainstorming and presentation tasks.

FLUX @ NORTEL Forum 2008

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 4 Friends

flux_magdeburg_06.jpgOn of our Flux tables has set up at our partner lab in Magdeburg.  Prof. Raimund Dachselt and his team gave us a warm welcome and together the multi functional table was installed in a newly established lab dealing with the magic of future interaction. In addition to the rear-projection setup also a top-projection table featuring 1080p full HD-top projection will be installed in the lab. Continue reading to see more images of the installation.

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.
