Chia Shen, Visiting Senior Scientist, Initiative in Innovative Computing at Harvard, and Senior Research Scientist, MERL Research Lab

Seminar Title:

From Clicks to Touches-Decipher the Myths and Misnomer of Multi-Touch

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been much Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research as well as commercial hardware innovations on direct touch interactive tabletops. As a result, a new field called Tabletop Computing (Off the Desktop Computing) has emerged. In this talk, I will offer glimpses into some of the ongoing research and development endeavors around the world, including our own, that have begun to put these interactive tabletops into the realm of social and visual computing, as well as educational and pedagogical applications. I will touch upon the impact, the challenges and open research questions that have stemmed from these new efforts.
