Jamboree
in Gothenburg 2002 |
|
|
|
The
olympic café (gloss table) demonstrator |
|
Bob
is mobile. So he wants to interact in the small and in the large...
For
more information, please refer to deliverable D17 called "Initial
reference framework for multi-surface interaction" (Authors:
J.Coutaz, C.Lachenal, G.Rey)

Scenario
|
|
|
Bob
has coffee and is sitting, scribbling on the table. He accesses
the picture bank of the café and sends a postcard to
his Danish friend. |
|
Bob
receives a message from Jane.She is stuck in traffic and her
PDA estimates that she is going to be an hour late for the
meeting
(the metro system is on strikes). Bob tells her that he has
just done some sketches of some ideas for their city planning,
she can have a look at them in the car before she comes to
the meeting. |

Requirements |
|
The
infrastructure should be able to:
- discover
local resources (eg: surfaces, instruments),
- couple
resources together (pda, table and wall could be used together
to performed a user task),
- migrate
the user interface between surfaces (a postcard could move from
the wall to a table then on the pda),
- adapt the
user interface depending on the surface (on the table, the user
interface should rotate to be always in front of the user).

Video |

|
We made
a video in our lab. This video shows some principles of
multiple surfaces interaction.The user can use three kinds
of surfaces: a wall (public area), a table (semi-public)
and his pda (private area). Interaction on the wall is performed
with az laser pointer and on the table with the gloss clicker.
Following this instrument is done by using computer vision.
This demo is not implemented with the I-AM infrastructure
but was used to find software requirements to create I-AM.
I-AM implements above requirements.

"Disappearing
Computer " behind the scene |
|
"Disappearing
computer" is a wish but "hidding computer" is more
realistic; just have a look behind the scene :)
