Project Details
- "This augmented-desk system provides novel man-machine interfaces based on direct manipulation of both real and projected objects with hands and fingers. The key technical innovations of the EnhancedDesk include fast, accurate tracking of multiple hands and fingers, interactive object registration and recognition of hand gestures, and overlay of interactive functionality."
- "When this augmented-desk interface system is put to practical use, it will revolutionize the way people use computers in every aspect of their daily lives. For instance, multimedia materials can be used more effectively for study. An enormous amount of information on the Internet could be more easily combined with physical objects such as paper documents."
