Nice. I found this through NUI. So how does one go about creating one? Is this something that one could build oneself or has this been productized? Best. -t

I´m wondering if you´ve patented the idea... ?

Seems awesome. Would love to own one one day to work with it.

Another question, how bright is the light from the screen/desk. Is it as clear in a well lit room?

Also may I link this to my blog?

@ a.g ... we are looking at possibilities of acquiring an IPR soon since this also involves a number of open source elements...

the brightness is pretty good (using a 2200 lumen beamer) so its usable even in semi-sunlight conditions.

we'll be glad if you'd add our link to your blog... please go ahead.

my question was just the opposite. i can see in the video that the light is very bright and i also see that as a disadvantage... stressful to the eyes.

also wanted to suggest that if it's to be a desktop then we should be able to sit and work at it just like a table.

i know you've probably been given thousands of suggestions but it just shows how useful, timely and interesting your idea is.

all the best.

@a.g hey thanks for the feedback... :)

your points are completely valid and we infact did think about these issues previously..

regarding the brightness.. it can be adjusted according to the ambient light conditions... we used maximum brightness for shooting videos to use minimum shutter speed to avoid flickering video... secondly the bright spots can be taken care of by using a good diffusing projection surface (for us money was a constraint)

for the height of the table... currently we are using a standard projector (that was readily available)... it requires a certain distance to project a 40" diagonal image... this can be fixed using high end short throw projectors and the height can be brought down to as low as 1'6" for a 36" diagonal wide screen projection.

there are numerous issues which we did consider... but at the end were limited mainly by budget constraints :)

an idea like this lacking funding? surprising.

i´m sure once the idea hits the market that won´t be a problem.

again, best of luck.

A multitouch keyboard ...

Hi ! Here is a video of our latest app... a multitouch keyboard. Now, access your keyboard with just an icon on your multitouch desktop. Touch it ... and a keyboard pops out. Dont like the size ? Scale it ... Dont like the orientation ? Rotate it ... Otherwise, it just works like any normal keyboard. You still have to "touch" the shift key and hold onto it to type things like $ and :) Cheers!

Introducing ....

Hi ! We present, a touch-senstive desktop (what we are hoping to be India's very first). This is a user interface that allows people to interact with digital content the same way they have interacted with everyday items their entire life: with their hands and with gestures. [ a snap of our touch sensitive table top interface ] We are students of National Institute of Design(NID), India . This blog is meant to serve as documentation for a classroom project, we are currently doing.Seems very reminiscent of the recently released Microsoft Surface, but yes, we are trying to build new software based applications using this as our basic framework. Moreover, this is completely built in-house, in the workshops of NID.The aim of this project would be to create new and intuitive ways of interacting with digital content/media. The underlying technology is usually referred to as Multitouch , and is based on FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflectio

Hi ! This is a compilation post of our multi-touch related work , since we started off in last october. work @ Natural User Interface Europe AB , Sweden We worked with NUI (Natural User Interface Europe AB) which is headquartered in Skellefteå - Sweden, and is a globally leading commercial company providing customized multi-touch software, hardware and service solutions to clients worldwide. We worked on researching and building a 100" multi-touch table for CityScape Abu Dhabi 2008. Here is the official press release And here is the video of the table in action... For other pictures during our three month trip to sweden, click here (flickr) MTOS - Multitouch Operating system In a 6 week classroom project, we designed , developed and built a full working prototype of a multi-touch table top system, with a range of software . The underlying was to make an entire operating system based on multi-touch interactions . A multi-touch system is ; a user interface that allows people to int
