Seminar Series

60 Oxford Street, Room 330
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.
