After touch screen tablet, now touch screen table

By SiliconIndia,Monday, 25 January 2010, 03:53 Hrs
Washington: Researchers have designed Pictionaire, a 1.8 meter long table, which is placed directly beneath a ceiling-mounted camera and projector, which can "read" and respond to items placed on the table. This is developed by Microsoft researchers Andy Wilson along with colleagues from University of California, Berkeley, according to ANI.
After touch screen tablet, now touch screen table


When a user places a sketchbook on the table, the ceiling mounted equipment recognises it by its size and shape, and projects virtual "drag-off" handle onto the corner of the page. If the user swipes over the handle, the camera takes a digital snapshot of the sketchbook page and sends the information to the touchscreen so that a digital version of the page appears on the table.

The ceiling-mounted hardware then projects the image onto the pad and the user can trace key components onto their sketchbook page. "We're playing with the concept of moving back and forth between the virtual and the real," New Scientist magazine quoted Wilson as saying.

Furthermore, when the user places the keyboard onto the touchscreen, the overhead camera recognises it. As the user types, images or words conceptually related to those they type appear on the touchscreen around the keyboard to help in the brainstorming process.

2: Does the amount spent on the research and design of this system can ever be recovered? There are numerous problems for which solutions can be found and improving the existing systems for development is the need of the hour.

6: This i feel is a useless invention. The researchers are wasting their time in nothing practical.
