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.

This week will become a great success for the Media Interaction Lab:
Jakob is currently presenting our our interactive game Comino at Laval Virtual 2008. Comino is a tabletop game inspired by the Incredible Machine. It provides a multi-modal interaction based on a bi-directional projection tabletop, digital pens and custom-made physical objects, while attracting users for an active participation in creating content which diffuses the boundary between the real and virtual world. Kyungdahm Yun (GIST), Maki Sugimoto, and Masahiko Inami are supporting this project.
Moreover, our interactive table FLUX has been selected as one of the three winners of this year’s RTT Emerging Technology Contest. We are also happy that Daniel Leithinger, who is currently working at NUS, has been selected as a winner. The award ceremony will take place during the 9th RTT Conference in Vienna (April 10-11, 2008). The 9th RTT Conference is a platform for professional high-end 3D visualization. The historic ambience of Vienna’s Hofburg Imperial Palace host to this year’s summit.
From February 18 to 20 the research-community for Tangible User Interfaces came together at the 2nd conference on Tangible Embedded Interaction in Bonn, Germany. Matt Jervis from University of Waikato and Thomas from the MI-Lab presented the results of their work on enhanced filing folders and cabinets called “Aroo - Smart Folders“. One of the conference highlights was the keynote talk by Hiroshi Ishii presenting the vision behind his work and that it might effect people in 200 years (see picture in more…)

From 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.
