Interactive Display Bubbles [Licensing Information]

Publications

Computer technology is increasingly migrating from traditional desktops to novel forms of ubiquitous displays on tabletops and walls of our environments. This process is mainly driven by the inherent limitations of classical computer and home entertainment screens, which are generally restricted in configuration and interaction possibilities. Due to these limitations, users are required to adapt to given setups, instead of the display systems continuously accommodating the users’ needs.
 


Based on this observation, we have developed techniques for a fully interactive, projector-equipped visual workspace which provides flexible global control of the projected light at any location of the environment. In an intuitive way and with a maximum degree of flexibility, on-demand displays can be instantiated on any surface within this space. Subsequently, by scanning the environment, the displays can dynamically adapt to objects and persons in a smart way.
 


Technology

We provide a complete set of patented core technologies, algorithms and prototype implementations to achieve flexible on-demand displays in everyday environments. Either the entire architecture or selected technologies/implementations can be licensed.
