PrintScreen: Fabricating Highly Customizable Thin-film Touch-Displays Simon Olberding, Michael Wessely, Jürgen Steimle Abstract: PrintScreen is an enabling technology for digital fabrication of customized flexible displays using thin-film electroluminescence (TFEL). It enables inexpensive and rapid fabrication of highly customized displays in low volume, in a simple lab environment, print shop or even at home.
Microsoft FlexSense: A Transparent Self-Sensing Deformable Surface
We present FlexSense, a new thin-film, transparent sensing surface based on printed piezoelectric sensors, which can reconstruct complex deformations without the need for any external sensing, such as cameras. FlexSense provides a fully self-contained setup which improves mobility and is not affected from occlusions.
HML creates first commercial installation of TeleHuman at AIS Bangkok
Twin EON Icube Mobiles at World's sixth largest shopping complex to create collaborative immersion. AIS utilizes two EON Icube Mobiles, for their "AIS Future Experience", installed side by side to simulate communication and interaction from two locations. Installed at the World's Sixth Largest Shopping Complex in Central World in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Human Media Lab worked together with Singtel, BaseFX and EON to create the fullest possible immersive teleconferencing experience possible at the AIS Future of Telecommunications experience in Bangkok, Thailand. Using Kinects to create live 3D surround video of the users, and representing these video models in a 3D cave system, users can communicate as if they were standing next to each other. They can walk around each other in full size and experience shared virtual rides. We also designed and implemented the gesture interaction system that allows users to touch virtual objects such as menus floating in front of them, or, e.g., move simultaneously to choose the direction of the ride. Come check it out at the CentralWorld mall flagship AIS store in central Bangkok.
