Multitouch interactive surfaces:
development of prototype, control system and application paradigms to 3D visualization
I presented my end of degree project at the University of A Coruña as one of the works I made working with VideaLab. It is about multitouch surfaces and its application to 3D visualization.
There are three main objectives or subjets in it:
- Software: design and development of a cross-platform, multithread, client-server system to control any kind of multitouch device (even home-made ones), with a easy interface to be integrated with arbitrary applications.
- Hardware: the construction of a full usable prototype, following the optics principle of FTIR, that was broadly used in different presentations, exhibitions, etc.
- Research: the creation and development of two new paradigms of 3D movement in 3D that responses to the gestures of the user, as a natural interface. Mainly to be used in architecture and terrain visualization. They are called PRotaZoom and Walk-through.
