PhD Proposal: Mark Hancock

3. tabletop 3D
display

4. collaborative
3D tabletop display

5. interactive,
collaborative 3D tabletop display

6. objectives

7. objective one: study alternate perspective views
objective two: study alternate input techniques
objective three: implement complete system

8. objective one: projection study

9. problem: multiple viewpoints

10. reference point at infinity
status quo
reference point at infinity ?
reference point ? ? ?
table surface
perspective
orthographic

11. stitched perspective ??
table surface

12. perspective lenses
table surface

13. factors dependent measures tasks projection shading shadows
time, accuracy, preference
communication, coordination
tasks
not yet determined – 1 to 3 people, interact in 3D

14. (intended) contribution one:
user study
comparison of different projection solutions
(intended) contribution two:
better understanding of impact of skewed views

15. objective two: technique study

16. problem: how people control objects

19. contribution one: contribution two: user study
more DOF improves performance & satisfaction
contribution two:
guidelines for shallow-depth 3D interaction
submitted to CHI 2007

20. objective three: complete system

21. problem: enable embodied interaction

22. dourish (2001)

24. urp (underkoffler & ishii, 1998)

25. (intended) contribution one:
integrate results of first two objectives
(intended) contribution two:
demonstrate possibility of embodied interaction

26. objective one: study alternate perspective views
objective two: study alternate input techniques
objective three: implement complete system

27. projection comparison study
design & implement projection alternatives
in-depth literature review
build 3D environment (e.g. “virtual urp”)
3D technique study
