Drag and Drop by Laser Pointer: Seamless Interaction with Multiple Large Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel interaction technique with multiple large displays in smart space. We call it D2LP, short for Drag and Drop by Laser Pointer, where a specially designed laser pointer uPen is a handheld interactive device for users. By D2LP, large displays driven by different computers can be made as one seamless integrated uniform system. With a uPen in hand users can directly point and draw on the surface of displays, drag and drop digital objects among multiple displays continuously and smoothly. Report on evaluation experiments shows that D2LP can effectively support the freely interacting with multiple wallsized displays and it is preferred over the conventional mouse-driven cursor based system for the application in smart spaces with rich information displays.

متن کاملCrossOverlayDesktop: Dynamic Overlay of Desktop Graphics between Co-located Computers for Multi-User Interaction
This paper presents an intuitive interaction technique for data exchange between multiple co-located devices. In the proposed system, CrossOverlayDesktop, desktop graphics of the devices are graphically overlaid with each other (i.e., alphablended). Users can exchange file data by the usual drag-anddrop manipulation through an overlaid area. The overlaid area is determined by the physical six d...
متن کاملIdentifying Inexpensive Off-the-Shelf Laser Pointers for Multi-User Interaction on Large Scale Displays
We present a method for identifying inexpensive, off-the-shelf laser pointers in a multi-user interaction environment on large-scale displays. We identify a laser pointer’s personality, a measure of its output in a particular context. Our method requires a set of inexpensive and unmodified green lasers, a large screen, a projector, and a camera with an infrared (IR) filter. The camera detects t...

متن کاملVers des systèmes de fenêtrage distribués : l'évolution du drag-and-drop
This work examines the interactions at stake in environments where several display surfacesand pointing devices are used. These environments can be distributed or not. We are moreparticularly interested in drag-and-drop like techniques in the context of wall-size displays. Drag-and-drop is probably the most emblematic and widespreadly used technique of directmanipulation paradigms. ...
