Multimodal Interfaces

VIMMI : Multimodal Interfaces

Research Topics: • Interaction on Large-Scale

Environments.

• Multimodal interaction for multi-touch devices.

• Calligraphic Interaction.

MAXIMUS http://www.maximus-fp7.eu/

• Improve the design review process within

automotive and architectural design through

dramatically improved rendering and

interaction technologies

Tabletop LEGO

• Interactive LEGO application, developed

accordingly to an adaptation of building

block interactions and gestures for multi-

touch tabletops.

Bimanual and pen-based input

• Multitouch enabled surfaces can bring

advantages to modelling scenarios, in

particular if bimanual and pen

input can be combined.

Multitouch DJing

• Virtual DJ system with natural interaction,

paired with a low-learning curve and an

emphasis in user-oriented design.

Touch Interaction Through Acoustic

Sensing • Users can naturally express

different actions by

touching the surface with

different body parts, such

as fingers, knuckles,

fingernails, punches, and

so on…
