MW19: Simple Tangible Interaction
1 like186 views
The document discusses the development of tangible interaction models for exhibitions, specifically focusing on Trajan's weapons frieze. It highlights the importance of hands-on experiences in museums and introduces innovative, cost-effective hardware solutions for object tracking within collaborative virtual environments. This work is supported by a team of researchers and aims to enhance cultural learning through engaging storytelling and interactive experiences.

- 9. The hands-on experience is very important, for having tangible feedback from objects and to generate a visual narrative, by touching and combining physical/virtual interaction simultaneously, to customize the visit according to the experience and empathy generated by the unique artifacts.
- 10. In the more social environment of a museum, users may be disinclined to isolate themselves with a head- mounted display, or spend time learning the interaction vocabulary of a game controller, stylus and the like.
- 12. In collaborative virtual environments (CVEs), where multiple coexistent users experience a space together, there has been some difficulty developing easy-to-use and intuitive mechanisms for navigating through a virtual world, and interacting with its objects.
