Scientific Team Project/Lab Project in Summer Term 2009
Tabletops & Magic Lenses
Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Raimund Dachselt, Dipl. Medien-Inf. Mathias Frisch, Dipl. Ing. Martin Spindler
first meeting: Tuesday 14.4.09, 14:00 hrs (following meetings can be rescheduled if necessary)
User Interface Lab G29-241
4 SWS (CV; 7 SWS IF; 5 SWS IngIF), ECTS-Credits: 6
Communication Language: German or EnglishThe lab project will primarily deal with software development for novel user interfaces. Thereby, the focus is on multitouch and pen interaction techniques for interactive displays as well as on so called magic lenses which show additonal information when they are moved across a tabletop. The project can also be carried out as a team project. Depending on the number of participants, several topics are possible.
If you are interested or like to get to know more, please contact Mathias Frisch. Good programming capabilities and independent scientific working style are required. The topics are appropriate for small groups of students (about 3 persons). A successfully accomplished project can also be extended to a masters' thesis. Registering via email early in advance helps us planning the team work and tasks.
Team 1: Development of interaction techniques for handheld displays
Development and implementation of interaction techniques with the Anoto pen and a Magic Lens for the existing framework. With the help of the digital pen, markings and annotation shall be entered on the lens. Additionally, buttons, scroll bars and IR markers shall be used for interaction. Furthermore, visual improvements will be applied to the existing height indicator.

Team 3: Multitouch gestures for diagramm tools
The goal is to generate diagrams on a multitouch tabletop with the help of gestures. In a preliminary study, users will be asked to devise gestures for selected actions. From this, a user-oriented gesture set will be prepared and implemented as prototype for a diagramm editor.
