Curve: Blending Horizontal and Vertical Interactive Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Desktops are the most prevalent environment for productive use of computers. However, there is still a gap between physical and virtual desktops. Previous approaches merged both worlds into one interactive horizontal surface. We argue that horizontal and vertical surfaces serve different purposes and offer different advantages. Therefore, we propose the combination of both surfaces by a soft curve forming one large, L-shaped surface. This setup preserves the unique properties of horizontal and vertical surfaces while allowing interaction across boundaries without disruption.

BendDesk: Seamless Integration of Horizontal and Vertical Multi-Touch Surfaces in Desk Environments
We present BendDesk, a desk environment that combines a horizontal and a vertical interactive surface that are seamlessly connected by a curved surface. This increases the perception of spatial cohesiveness and provides a continuous interaction. Furthermore, the curve functions as a storage for virtual objects and as a display for system events. The system avoids changing input modalities by su...
متن کاملSubdivision-Curve Primitives: A New Solution for Interactive Implicit Modeling
To remain an attractive model, skeleton-based implicit surfaces have to allow the design and display of shapes at interactive rates. This paper focuses on surfaces whose skeletons are graphs of interconnected curves. We present subdivision-curve primitives that rely on convolution for generating bulge-free and crease-free implicit surfaces. These surfaces are efficiently yet correctly displayed...
متن کاملCombining Direct and Indirect Touch Input for Interactive Desktop Workspaces using Gaze Input
Interactive workspaces combine horizontal and vertical touch surfaces into a single digital workspace. During an exploration of these systems, it was shown that direct interaction on the vertical surface is cumbersome and more inaccurate than on the horizontal one. To overcome these problems, indirect touch systems turn the horizontal touch surface into an input devices that allows manipulation...
متن کاملComparing the Microclimatic Role of Horizontal and Vertical Vegetation to Improving the Thermal Comfort of Outdoor Spaces between Buildings: A Case study (Faculty of Agriculture, I.K.I University), Qazvin.
Vegetation moderates a microclimate by casting shadows, increasing light reflection, evaporation and perspiration; and correcting wind patterns. The present study aims to investigate the microclimatic role of vegetated surfaces and bodies in improving thermal comfort in outdoor spaces between buildings. The main research question is which of the green system modes, that is, horizontal vegetatio...
متن کاملSound Collage Creation on a Curved Touch Display
We present a novel audio workspace for creating sound collages based on a vertically curved display. In contrast to flat interactive surfaces, this form factor avoids ergonomic problems of tabletop displays or vertical touch screens and enables continuous touch interaction across vertical and horizontal display parts. Additionally, it allows combining established software and hardware component...
