• studioDesk

• ErgoDesk

• Interactive Modeling Proposal

• T-SQUAIR

• The Origami Project

• Xerox LightWorks

• Designer's Outpost

• Tan

• Fakespace Systems

• Software system for architects/designers

• No hardware, but pen-based input recc'd

• Will allow 3D study model creation (still in development)

• Simplified Interface

• Allows for tracing, drawing, overlaying, customizable tools

• Internet-based

• For use with desktop,laptop and PDA's

• Software/hardware drawing system for designers

• Allows for 2D gestural input for 3D modeling

• 3D Virtual Annotation

• 'Seamless' 2D/3D transitions

• Speech Input

• Allows for two handed interaction

• Hardware used: 6 D.O.F. trackers (viewing camera and 3D annotations), Lightpen (2D input), Stereoscopic vision, ActiveDesk (made by Fakespace Systems)

• Future work includes 3D hand gestures

• User study feedback

• 3D Software/hardware system for designers

• "Back-of-an-envelope" environment is desired for sketching, doodlin and erasing

• Proposed Hardware: Transparent digitizing surface, cordless pen, rear-projection display

• Studying the affordances of digital desks on information access

• Completed user study on image sorting on several sized digital desks/tablets:

• Users studies results indicate that users prefer a digital tablet while sorting, and a digital desk for sketching

• Web-based architectural collections of images fail to provide information access

• Why? Because they do not account for typical search methods used (including sketching)

• Goal is to combine electronic and printed documents

• Desk is augmented with video camera (above desk), LCD projector (above desk), LED tipped pen

• Registry is central component of system

• Scenario:

A 'registered' document is printed with additional OCR elements to assist recognition by the system

The document is placed on the digital desk and physical locations on the paper are associated with actions (links in this case

Text is being copied from paper to a new, electronic document

The new document is printed

• Software/hardware system for web designers

• Hardware: Digital Desk, digital cameras, stylus

• The system infers site structure from groupings of post-it notes

• The system also allows for linking of post-it notes (to show linking between pages in the site) and the labeling of groups

• Project was developed by looking at the task of web design

• No OCR?

• Highend emmersive projection displays

• Projector and mirror systems are used

• Utilizes passive stereoprojection of images (vs. LCD shutter systems)

• Visualization only

• Highend emmersive projection displays

• Projector and mirror systems are used

• Utilizes LCD shutter systems
