چکیده

We are stuck in a world where our digital life is confined into virtual windows that clutter computer screens everywhere. Tangible Windows allow you to break out of this prison by pushing windows into the real world. Instead of interacting with your applications through virtual rectangles, you can hold them in your hands, embed them in your environment, and take them with you. Tangible Windows employ a new set of operations that allow applications to move freely between them. We have implemented a working prototype of a Tangible Windows Systems and evaluated it by comparing it with a common desktop computer in a user study. All participants commended the system and prefer it over the desktop computer to some extend. Author

A tangible AR desktop environment

We present an AR desktop environment which integrates the standard 2D computer desktop into an augmented 3D space. The underlying physical space is given by the standard office desk used in everyday work. Instead of sitting only in front of a computer screen, the user wears a video-through head mounted displays and interacts with the environment in both tangible and virtual ways. In this augmen...
