Studierstube on the Virtual TableStudierstube/Virtual Table Project start: 1998 Contact: Dieter Schmalstieg In coorperation with the Fraunhofer Center for Research in Computer Graphics, Providence RI, USA | |
|
Table-like display devices such as the Virtual Table are designed to serve for applications that are traditionally performed with or on workbenches, tables or presentation surfaces. We have developed an implementation that takes Studierstube and Personal Interaction Panel technology to this new platform. |
|
The virtual table allows multiple reasonable application scenarios to can be considered including virtual and rapid prototyping, simulation, exposition, and education and training; and to such diverse application areas as CAD, medicine, architecture, and strategic planning. |
|
New computer platforms such as the Virtual Table also require the design of new appropriate methods of human computer interaction. |
|
We achieve a new and very efficient method of 3D interaction with the
Virtual Table by using two-handed interaction based on transparent pen
and pad props derived from Studierstube and the Personal Interaction Panel.
