Suburban Birmingham: designing accessible cultural history using multi-touch tables
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Suburban Birmingham project aimed to allow the exploration of a collection of resources originally presented through a website on a touch table. In this paper we will explore some of the issues illustrated by this project involving the manipulation and sharing of resources on multi-user applications in public spaces, including ownership, affordances, and managing and interpreting gestures in different contexts.

"Tangible Culture" - Designing Virtual Exhibitions on Multi-Touch Devices
Cultural heritage institutions such as galleries, museums and libraries increasingly use digital media to present artifacts to their audience and enable them to immerse themselves in a cultural virtual world. With the application eXhibition:editor3D museum curators and editors have a software tool at hand to interactively plan and visualize exhibitions. In this paper we present an extension to ...
متن کاملThe Four Ts of the Collaborative Classroom
Drawing on a multi-year study of using multi-touch tables in a classroom setting, this paper lays out a framework to use when designing and studying collaborative classrooms. The framework identified the overlapping aspects of teachers, tasks, technology and teams, as being essential features of the use of computer-supported collaborative learning in classrooms. We argue that the design of coll...
متن کاملDesigning a multi-touch etextile for music performances
We present a textile pressure sensor matrix, designed to be used as a musical multi-touch input device. An evaluation of our design demonstrated that the sensors pressure response profile fits a logarithmic curve (R2 = 0.98). The input delay of the sensor is 2.1ms. The average absolute error in one direction of the sensor was measured to be less than 10% of one of the matrix’s strips (M = 1.8mm...
متن کاملGraVVITAS: Generic Multi-touch Presentation of Accessible Graphics
Access to graphics and other two dimensional information is still severely limited for people who are blind. We present a new multimodal computer tool, GraVVITAS, for presenting accessible graphics. It uses a multitouch display for tracking the position of the user’s fingers augmented with haptic feedback for the fingers provided by small vibrating motors, and audio feedback for navigation and ...
متن کاملDeskTop: A Design Guideline to Creating a Multi-touch Desk Prototype
In many multi-touch tables, a projector is used to project an image onto the surface and a camera is used to detect user touches. The optical paths for both the camera and projector limits the physical design of multi-touch tables. Our research focuses on the creation of a multi-touch desk that improves on the physical design of past multi-touch tables by using a combination of multiple cameras...
