About

This is a multi-touch installation by SenseBloom and it's located in the campus bar at the Computer Science Department of the University of Coimbra.

Motivation

Let pupils learn new Human-Computer-Interaction concepts and highlight their creativity by giving them the tool to do so, being in class courses or just for fun.

What is it

In terms of hardware, the display has an area of 2.8m x 1.05m and it consists of 2 XGA ultra short-throw projectors amounting to a total resolution of 2048x768. For the multitouch sensing, this is an LLP setup using 8 infrared lasers, 2 PS3 Eye cameras and a custom compiled version of the excellent CCV tracker (http://ccv.nuigroup.com/), giving us a touch resolution of 1280x480. Although it is a multitouch enabled surface it also has a pair of cameras at the top for computer vision applications, a microphone for sound input, speakers for sound output and an RFID reader (http://www.touchatag.com).
