Digital Tabletops – Putting Humanity back into the Interface
Edward Tse is working to Digital Tabletops. From his Edward’s blog
a blog about my PhD research on supporting people’s natural interactions over digital surfaces such as large tables and wall displays. Notable examples include Warcraft III and Google Earth on Digital Table. More detailed info can be found at www.edwardtse.com including images and videos.
It’s interesting work.
Needless to say, check out Edward’s Videos demonstrating multi person touch interfaces.
Here’s a teaser of two people playing warcraft.
This is similar to Jeff Han’s work on touch Interfaces.
It will be interesting to see when the price point drops to be affordable to all. Who know if this will actually be useful in the workplace? Will this be only useful to visual workers and gamers?
