| + objective |
|
Using the reacTIVision and TUIO framework, a flexible table-top TUI environment
based on computer vision, students develop concepts for their own table-based tangible interface such as musical instruments, educational toys, design tools or other
table based interactive interfaces based on object tracking and multi-touch interaction. Tangible User Interfaces allow the seemingless
integration of the digital world into our everyday environment. The lecture will provide an overview on tangible interface concepts in general covering human computer
interaction focusing on touch. We will also discuss various technologies and hardware design issues for this type of interfaces.
This workshop has a strong practical focus and extends over three compact modules. Students are encouraged to develop and work on their projects between
classes, while the lectures will provide the general conceptual and technical framework of the workshop. Additional support will be available via e-mail during the whole semester.
