Interscopic Multi-Touch Surfaces (iMUTS)

Basic data for this project

Description

Tangible user interfaces augment digital information by physical form.They build on the skills, which people already have for sensing and manipulating their physical environments, to simplify the exploration of virtual worlds. Among these multi-touch technology is a very interesting current development in human- computer interaction. It allows users to interact using a touch screen. This elliminates the need of conventional input devices like mouse or keyboard. Currently, most of people's sensing and manipulation skills are not used when interacting with digital worlds. Multi-touch uses some of those skills and places the digital information on the multi-touch enabled screen. This helps the user to interact in a natural way and gives him tactile feedback.
