Scientific Team Project/Project for Individuals/Lab Project in Winter Term 2011/2012
Novel Interaction Techniques
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Raimund Dachselt
First meeting: Tuesday, October 18th, 9:00 am (following meetings can be rescheduled if necessary)
User Interface Lab G29-245
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. 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 in examples for topics, please look at past project-pages (SoSe 2008, WiSe 2008/09, SoSe 2009, WiSe 2009/10, SoSe 2010).
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) as well as for individuals. A successfully accomplished project can also be extended to a bachelor or masters' thesis. Registering via email early in advance helps us planning the team work and tasks.
Team 1: Porting of Yid to Android and iOS
Tangible Magic Lenses facilitate natural interaction above a tabletop by augmenting optically tracked paper-based handheld projection screens with digital image content. In our project, we aim at replacing such passive screens with active tablets (iOS- and Android-based). For this purpose, the existing Yid-framework will be extended to allow for streaming 6DOF positioning-data and multi-touch events between different devices within a heterogeneous network. We will design various test examples and example applications to prove the reliability and illustrate the benefit of the whole system.

Team 2: Above the surface - Integration of the Kinect within a tabletop environment
The goal of this scientific individual project is to determine the capabilities of the Kinect in combination with interactive surfaces, e.g. multi-touch tabletops. This project focuses on determining the position of the user in relation to the tabletop. We plan to use this information to enhance possible interactions, to realize novel interaction techniques, and to provide personalized actions.
