Touchable Holography
Researchers, led by Hiroyuki Shinoda, from the University of Tokyo have developed a display that lets users touch objects that appear to float in space. This trick is done using and LCD and a concave mirror and the sensation of touch is recreated using an ultrasound device positioned below the mirror and LCD.
Augmented Reality for Ordinary Toys
Frantz Lasorne, a student at L’École de desing in France, and his Scope display automatically recognizes ordinary toys that have been mounted onto platforms covered with hexagonal patterns. The idea being that when viewed through the augmented reality display those patterns become interactive buttons and can be used to make modifications to the toys.
Hyper-Realistic Virtual Reality
Virtualization Gate is a new virtual reality system from a team at INRIA and Grenoble Universities in France and is said to be able to track users’ movements very accurately using multiple camera, which allows them to interact with virtual objects with a totally new realism
Scratchable Input
Carnegie Mellon University researcher Chris Harrison will be demoing a system that can turn any surface into an instant input device by sensing the unique sound produced when a fingernail is dragged across it.
