Last week we went to the 10th RTT Conference in Munich. In this conference Realtime Technologies (RTT) and its partners presented their newest products in high-quality real-time rendering. Completely surrounded by really nice renderings of cars we presented a small multi-touch tabletop application for manipulating textures on 3D-models. In addition our project CRISTAL won the RTT Contest this year.

CHI 2009 was highly impressive this year and we presented two demos at the Interactivity session: FLUX table and our Occlusion-Aware Menu. Our first attendance to CHI was a good chance to introduce our work to the HCI community. We got some really good feedback about both of our projects. Furthermore, we were able to watch some really interesting talks and presentation.
Professor Masahiko Inami will visit the MIL in Hagenberg next Monday (April 27th) and will give a talk with the topic “Towards X-Men Computing: Enhancement of Human I/O”. If technology becomes more transparent to the end user, in the future we can behave as if we have supernatural powers.
Masahiko Inami is a professor in the School of Media Design at the Keio University (KMD), Japan. His research interest is human I/O enhancement technology including HCI and robotics.
We 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.
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!

We would like to thank the “Deutsche Telekom” and the organizers of the FMX conference for inviting us to Stuttgart and hope to see this prize next year again!
FLUX had its second performance on stage at the NORTEL Forum 2008 in Vienna. This time, we not only presented FLUX as our new research prototype, but used it to run the presentation itself. We showed some possibilities for presentations like real time sketching on slides and arranging content during the talk. The focus of the conference was on Hyperconnectivity, Unified Communications, Telepresence and Green IT.
