3rd Year Project Proposal: Interactive Poster Browsing on Multi-Touch Wall

MultiTouch Wall is a state-of-the-art modular LCD cell-based interactive display, composed of 5 LCD boxes each containing near-infrared camera inside to detect the finger touch and movement on LCD surfaces, together making a 3m X 1m wall (5,400 X 1,920 pixel resolution) which is multi-user touch-operated. As part of CLARITY: Centre for Sensor Web Technologies, this project will develop an interesting way to visualising a large number of research posters and image sets to be organised, browsed and manipulated by multiple users standing in front of the Wall. It is an exciting opportunity to work on a very unusual interaction platform that will become one of the ubiquitous devices in the future. Programming environment is in C++ under Linux, IDE is currently eclips but we can use any other programming environment as long as it runs on Linux. Two 3rd-year students will work together on this project. Supervisors: Prof Alan Smeaton and Dr Hyowon Lee
