We developed an interactive system which takes the technique of Anamorphosis, with a 2D display and a cylindrical mirror. In this system, a distorted image is shown on a flat panel display or tabletop surface, and the original image will appear on the ...

We present uTable, a very large horizontal interactive surface which accommodates up to ten people sitting around and interacting in parallel. We identify the key aspects for building such large interactive tabletops and discuss the pros and cons of ...

This paper describes research on rich opportunities for novel interaction on large multitouch tables to assist researchers. We have designed, developed and evaluated ResearchTable which provides an interactive visualization of (co-)authorship networks. ...

We propose Reminiscence Park Interface. This interface gives the personal spaces for listening to the favorite songs by using the original music boxes. And our interface also visualizes the diffusions and the overlaps of the users' spaces by computer ...

The importance of utilizing the advantages of embodiment in presentation has often been pointed out. In recent years, because of the increase in the size of screens and displays, the realization of a large-surface presentation by arranging many screens ...

This paper focuses on a principle in presenting safety-related message on the table for a chemistry experiment support system. It is important for students to acquire applied skills to conduct experiments without the system in the future, as well as ...

We propose interaction design of a map navigation system that displays Google Maps on a tabletop display, and Google Earth and Google Street View on the wall display. In Google Maps on the table, we introduce the use of hand gestures to pan, rotate, and ...

We present a technique to enter numbers on interactive multi-touch tabletops using the 10 fingers of both hands. We recognize the number of fingers simultaneously touching the screen and interpret them as digits from 0 to 9 to represent any number in ...

This paper demonstrates a new user-computer interaction on a flat panel display through physical motions of a paper sheet. A user handles a paper sheet directly by hand, and at the same time, a computer program drives the sheet using a planar ...

We propose the concept and implementation of a graphical information hiding technique for interactive tabletops where users can view the information by simply casting real shadows. We placed three projectors (one in the rear and two in the front) in ...

Multi-touch tables are becoming increasingly popular and much research is dedicated to developing suitable interaction paradigms. There also exist multiple techniques aimed at extending interactions into the hoverspace---the space directly above a multi-...

Most software visualization systems and tools are designed from a single-user perspective and are bound to the desktop and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). These design decisions do not allow users to easily navigate through software ...

In this work we present a multi-touch wall display system that equips easily and considers occlusions problem using multiple range scanners. Our system is implemented on an existing large display embedded in a wall with two laser range scanners. Each ...

Despite the convenience and intuitiveness of multi-touch gestures, there are some tasks that do not allow users to effectively conduct even using two-handed gestures. We propose novel input techniques of combining hand and foot gestures to enhance user ...

In our daily lives, we often feel depressed on rainy days. In this research, we aim to relieve these kinds of unpleasant feelings by providing a novel entertainment system using raindrops. More concretely, we propose an interactive display named "...

This paper introduces Process Pad, an interactive, low-cost multi-touch tabletop platform designed to capture students' thought process and facilitate their explanations. The goal of Process Pad is to elicit students' think-aloud narratives that would ...

This paper presents a study into the use of different modalities in providing per contact feedback for interactions on tabletop computers. We replicate the study by Wigdor et al. [3] and confirm their results, and extend the study to examine not just ...

This paper presents a study into the use of mobile phones as private tactile displays for interactions with tabletop computers. Text entry performance on tabletop computers is often poor due to the soft keyboards that are normally used. We propose using ...

This paper presents a method for tracking multiple active tangible devices on tabletops. Most tangible devices for tabletops use infrared to send information about their position, orientation, and state. The method we propose can be realized as a ...

In this paper the authors argue that the affordance of peripheral activities in multi-modal tabletop interfaces for digital board games increase the user experience of passive players compared to WIMP interfaces. The authors have made a prototype ...
