MagicLens Interaction

Project Description

The goal of this Ph.D. project is the development and evaluation of novel interaction techniques by using spatially aware mobile displays (Tangible Magic Lenses) - usually within the environment of a larger stationary display such as an interactive tabletop. Besides the development of a technical basis (hard- and software framework), a vital scientific goal is the examination of the interplay between different interaction modalities (e.g., spatial location of displays, multitouch, digital pens, head location) for a more natural and intuitive interaction.

If there are any questions or comments about this Ph.D. project, you're welcome to contact Martin Spindler.

Associated Individual Projects

  • This project explores novel interaction techniques that are based on spatially aware tangible displays (Magic Lenses) in multi display environments. The height above a reference surface (e.g. tabletop) is used to better explore complex information spaces. more information

  • We contribute to the seamless integration of interaction and display devices and introduce novel ways of visualizing and directly interacting with information. Rather than restricting the interaction to the display surface alone, we explicitly use the physical three-dimensional space above it for natural interaction with multiple displays. more information
