  • January 1st, 2009

The goal of this Ph.D. project is the development and evaluation of novel interaction techniques by using spatially aware mobile displays (Tangible Displays) – usually within the environment of a larger stationary display such as an interactive tabletop. Besides the development of a technical basis (hard- and software framework), a vital scientific goal is the examination of the interplay between different interaction modalities (e.g., spatial location of displays, multitouch, digital pens, head location) for a more natural and intuitive interaction. For questions and comments, please contact Martin Spindler.

Sub Projects

  • Use Your Head: Tangible Windows for 3D Information Spaces in a Tabletop Environment

    Tangible Windows for 3D Information Spaces

    Tangible Windows allow for performing common 3D interaction tasks in a more accessible manner by combining principles of tangible interaction, head-coupled perspective, and multitouch techniques. They either act as physical peepholes into a virtual 3D world or as physical containers for parts of that world. more information

  • 2010-ITS-TowardsMakingGraphicsUserInterfacesTangible

    Tangible User Interface Palettes

    To bring back the physical affordances of a painter’s palette to graphics editors, we propose to augment a tabletop with handheld displays. We introduce the concept of spatial Work Zones that take up distinct 3D regions above the table surface and serve as physical containers for digital content. This provides quick access to tools and parts of the graphics document that are instantly functional, i.e., ready to be used by a digital pen. more information

  • 2010-ITS-TangibleViews

    Tangible Views for Information Visualization

    We contribute to the seamless integration of interaction and display devices and introduce novel ways of visualizing and directly interacting with information. Rather than restricting the interaction to the display surface alone, we explicitly use the physical three-dimensional space above it for natural interaction with multiple displays. more information

  • 2009-ITS-PaperLens

    PaperLens

    This project explores novel interaction techniques that are based on spatially aware tangible displays (Magic Lenses) in multi display environments. The height above a reference surface (e.g. tabletop) is used to better explore complex information spaces. more information
