Object Representation Using a Tangible Screen
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce prototype system for interactive exploration of volumetric data using a tangible screen, called ”Volume Slicing Display.” The system tracks the shape and the position of a screen on 3D space using a custom monocular high-speed vision system, then projects the corresponding slice of a 3D virtual object on the screen surface in real time. This experimental interface thus enables users to feel as if 3D virtual objects co-exist in real space, as well as to explore them interactively.

Combinatorix: a Tangible User Interface that Supports Colaborative Learning of Probabilities
Teaching abstract concepts is notoriously difficult, especially when we lack concrete metaphors that map to those abstractions. Combinatorix offers a novel approach that combines tangible objects with an interactive tabletop to help students explore, solve and understand probability problems. Students rearrange physical tokens to see the effects of various constraints on the problem space; a se...
متن کاملThe Volume Slicing Display: a tangible interface for slicing and annotation of volumetric data
The motivation behind this project is to facilitate the analysis and annotation of volumetric image data. The method consists on generating 2d slices that appear physically at the right location in a three-dimensional reference frame associated to the virtual volume (Fig.1). This is done using a (passive) display that also functions as the volume slicing tool (Fig.2) and as a free-hand input su...

In this paper, we present TNT (Touch ‘n’ Tangibles) a new combination of several existing hardware technologies, which are integrated into an LC-display. TNT enables users to interact using finger touch and tangible user interfaces at the same time on an active flat panel screen, while maintaining precise identification of all interactive objects and fingers. TNT can accurately distinguish betw...

متن کاملTangible imaging systems
We are developing tangible imaging systems that enable natural interaction with virtual objects. Tangible imaging systems are based on consumer mobile devices that incorporate electronic displays, graphics hardware, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and digital cameras, in laptop or tablet-shaped form-factors. Custom software allows the orientation of a device and the position of the observer to be t...
