Semiautomatic and User-Centered Orientation of Digital Artifacts on Multi-touch Tabletops

چکیده
The orientation of objects on tables is of fundamental importance for the coordination, communication and proper understanding of content in group work. Similarly, the roles of orientation have to be taken into account when implementing software for multi-touch tabletops. This paper describes a combined approach to help with the orientation of artifacts, composed of both automatic and manual orientation methods. Using a custom test application, this study investigates the effects of automatic orientation of artifacts towards users.

متن کاملActuated Translucent Controls for Dynamic Tangible Applications on Interactive Tabletops
We present a novel type of tangible controls for interactive tabletops: actuated general-purpose widgets that are used to manipulate digital data on interactive tabletops. Due to their transparency the visual appearances can be changed dynamically. Unlike previous approaches, our widgets can be arranged and configured on the tabletop by employing an array of electromagnets beneath the multi-tou...
متن کاملTactive, a Framework for Cross Platform Development of Tabletop Applications
The number and types of applications developed for multi-touch tabletops are dramatically increased in the last years, mainly due to the fact that interactive tabletops allow a more natural interaction with the user through their multi-touch interfaces. Despite many applications share a big set of common features, e.g., gestures recognition, interface orientation, etc., almost all applications ...
متن کاملExploring How Tangible Tools Enable Collaboration in a Multi-touch Tabletop Game
Digital tabletop surfaces afford multiple user interaction and collaboration. Hybrid tabletops that include both tangible and multi-touch elements are increasingly being deployed in public settings (e.g. Microsoft Surface, reacTable). Designers need to understand how the different characteristics of tangible and multi-touch interface elements affect collaborative activity on tabletops. In this ...
متن کاملUser Perspectives on Tabletop Therapy
Technology-based activities are becoming more popular in therapy programs, and direct-touch interactive tabletops seem particularly suited to many therapy tasks. To better understand the potential benefit of interactive tabletops in rehabilitation, we examined users’ attitudes as they performed rehabilitation activities on a multi-touch tabletop and a normal, non-interactive surface. This revea...
