multitouch

Japanese inventers have found another use for touchscreens: vending machines! "An embedded camera will recognize your gender and age, allowing the machine to recommend a beverage suitable to whatever stereotype is attached to your particular circumstances."

For the graphic interface of our multitouch table, we will make short animations of paper objects like an envelope, a cover, a folder... We use stop motion because of the tactile and crafty look this technique will create. Today we prepared our studio for the shooting and made some tests with different paper textures.

Augmented Shadow is a design experiment by Joon Moon. He produced an artificial shadow effect through the use of tangible objects on a displayable tabletop interface. His goal is to offer a new type of user-experience.

The project plays on the fact that shadows present distorted silhouettes depending on the light.
