Project Details
- VIDEODESK Teletutoring is a simultaneous, gesture-driven telecommunication interface that supports collaboration of remote locations.
- The VIDEOPLACE concept is a light table with overhead camera that observes user hand gestures. These images are superimposed over computer applications to drive them through the interpretation of gestures by special video processors. The unique advantage is that no additional hardware devices are necessary - no gloves, mice, wires, etc. interfere with the interaction.
- The end result of the interface is shared between both locations, allowing "multipoint control" (parallel processing of intent instead of singular events like mice) through the interpretation of gesture of the entire hand.
