Labs and Projects

DTFlash: Rapid Prototyping for Multi-User Multi-Touch Applications DTFlash (DiamondTouch-Flash) is a project to develop next-generation rapid prototyping support that leverages an authoring environment rather than a more general-purpose programming environment. DTFlash will advance research into hardware and software to support multiple users interacting simultaneously with two hands on the same surface, and is designed to flush out multi-user interaction aspects more quickly and expose new areas of focus.

Media Interaction Lab The Media Interaction Lab is a research lab hosted at the Digital Media department of the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences in Hagenberg. The Media Interaction Lab integrates research and education, providing students with a project-based learning environment. Both undergraduate and graduate students from the Digital Media department within the University carry out projects in the lab. Students can undertake projects in the lab as part of their studies or alternatively work in the lab as an extracurricular activity. Currently, the lab is working on a range of projects in collaboration with industry and academia. Over the past five years, the research group has mainly focused on exploring the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) and Interactive Environments as a medium for dramatic experience. The lab’s research has three main focuses: exploring novel rendering techniques, developing applications for augmented reality and mixed reality, and developing novel user interfaces. Currently, the lab hosts 3 PhD students and over 10 graduate students.

PointScreen PointScreen™ makes it possible to control the computer intuitively with gestures. The user navigates by merely pointing toward the screen; contrary to touch screen technology, the interaction proceeds completely without touch.
reactable People at Universitat Pompeu Fabra presented a tabletop interface called reactable.
SenseSurface - Girton Labs Cambridge
SmartSkin: An Infrastructure for Freehand Manipulations on Interactive Surfaces Smart skin project investigates a new sensor architecture for making interactive surfaces that are sensitive to human hand and finger gestures. This sensor recognizes multiple hand positions and their shapes as well as calculates the distances between the hands and the surface by using capacitive sensing and a mesh-shaped antenna. In contrast to camera-based gesture recognition systems, all sensing elements can be integrated within the surface, and this method does not suffer from lighting and occlusion problems.
ideo-multitouch - Google Code
CUBIT CUBIT is an interactive surface for multitouch interactions. It was designed with the intention to redefine visual computing and depart from the mouse pointer paradigm. Fingers are seen as points of location, areas of contact, and vectors. Based on these sensory inputs the interface tries to generate graphical widgets which behave along preconceived human notions of physical objects.
TouchWall » Arrow Sign In to participate in discussions. TouchWall TouchWall is an Office Labs experiment that explores alternative ways to interact with information on a vertical canvas. TouchWall is built on Plex technology, an Office Labs prototype interaction model. Plex provides TouchWall with new and expanded ways to organize and present content through a more dynamic, natural interface.
Touchless Touchless is an Office Labs Grassroots Project that started from an idea Mike Wasserman, a Microsoft Office Graphics developer, started during his college days to create multi-touch experience using a webcam. Through Office Labs sponsorship, Mike’s weekend hobby turned into an open-source prototype, currently available for download. With just a webcam and color markers, you can get a taste of Touchless through the multi-touch demos provided. Play a pong-like game, rotate maps, control a snake, and draw with markers. If you’re someone technical, the Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for you to view, contribute to the code, or create your own multi-touch applications to help explore the possibilities.
Hand Gesture Interface Project The Hand Gesture Interface is a real time gestural interface based on 3D dynamic hand gesture recognition using simple webcams. The application captures and recognizes hand gestures of the user wearing colored gloves, where the hand coordinates are obtained via 3D reconstruction from stereo. The developed system aims to be a generic interface for Windows based applications, and provides supplementary features such as an interactive training and gesture defining system, a gesture tutor, a self-calibration utility for the cameras and a tool for linking the interface to different applications. The interface can be used by people with disabilities for various tasks, as well as by common users for controlling of desktop applications. The system can be linked to any third party program through generation of windows based mouse and keyboard events.
MPX: The Multi-Pointer X Server The Multi-Pointer X Server (MPX) is a modification of the X Server. A standard X Server only provides one mouse cursor (pointer) and one keyboard focus, regardless of the number of input devices connected. MPX provides the user with multiple mouse cursors and multiple keyboard foci. Multicursor applications have been developed in the past but MPX is the first implementation of a multicursor windowing system (or a multicursor X server).
Research Desktop - Microsoft Research Research Desktop augments the standard desktop environment with concepts and designs that enable new ways of working and managing resources. It provides support in four key areas: Activities, Tools, Library and Notes.
LilyPad Arduino
Touch | Interaction with RFID and NFC Touch is a research project that investigates Near Field Communication (NFC), a technology that enables connections between mobile phones and physical things. We are developing applications and services that enable people to interact with everyday objects and situations through their mobile devices. Touch consists of an inter-disciplinary team involved in social and cultural enquiry, interaction/industrial design, rapid prototyping, software, testing and exhibitions.
TouchOLED – Touch-sensitive signage and lighting
Touchglobe Existing devices for human-computer communication fail to exploit fully the human hand’s potential for action. Standard commercially available mice and touchpads support only one pointer position, at which two or three different actions can be triggered. Keyboards distinguish only discrete points and are not pressure-sensitive. Developers have not yet come up with input devices that allow more sophisticated communication between humans and computers. It might be possible to develop user interfaces enabling, say, a violin player to generate sounds with the computer. Other devices could be used to implement a design process for modelling clay on the computer. Toys could be “awareâ€� of a child’s actions and thus give the impression of being alive.
