Interactive display conglomeration on the wall

Abstract

We present a work in progress for a paradigm of wall-top displays for future offices, where instead of a small desktop, we treat the available walls as the desktop. Multiple projector-camera units, mounted on pan-tilt units (PTU), allow for the creation of the conglomeration of one or more high resolution displays, whose position, size, and aspect ratio can be changed by the user. This can be achieved by lucid gesture based interactions. Multiple wireless keyboard and mouse can be used to interact with the display(s) for shared collaborative or personal individual interactions. The system can also be extended to support stereoscopic projection and data input by superimposing projection displays and processing data from multiple cameras. This is achieved by a distributed network of projector-camera systems, and associated distributed registration and interaction methodologies.

Towards disappearing user interfaces for ubiquitous computing: human enhancement from sixth sense to super senses

“…Projection display can be a good candidate as DUI for human vision where computer generated images can be projected onto flat surfaces such as tabletops or concrete walls in indoor or outdoor environments. Together with the sensing of human body part movements, an interactive projection interface is provided on fixed surfaces whenever necessary with single or multiple projectors (Yamamoto et al 2015;Fleury et al 2015;Duy-Quoc and Majumder 2015). A wearable projector enables image projection onto any surfaces wherever the wearer goes, it can project onto any object in-front of the viewer, or even the wearer's own body (Harrison and Faste 2014).…”
