- 4. Traditional Computing Vs. Surface Computing Surface Computing You can use your fingers for input. It provides direct interaction to user. It provides Multi-touch & Multi-user environment. It also support object recognition .
- 5. Surface Computing in Academia Multi User Interaction • In Academia’s Perspective these economical surface may be very effective: provides Multi-touch / Multi-user environment, i.e., many students can perform different activities simultaneously. Interactive and Easy-to-Use • These surfaces are very Interactive and easy-to-use such that a kindergarten to a qualified one can operate with it conveniently.
- 6. Design & Development of DeskTAP Building blocks of DeskTAP • Hardware • Software Hardware Hardware consists of Wooden Table Webcam IR LEDS with 850 nm wave length Projector 12v power supply
- 7. Continued… Computer Tracing paper Acrylic Sheet Mirror SOFTWARE The software that we used for hardware interfacing is an open source software that is Community core Vision version 1.4. For the hardware to work properly in windows 7 we had to install multi touch drivers for windows 7 For running flash applications on our hardware we used Adobe Shockwave and Flash player.

- 9. Scope Analysis • The Scope analysis encompasses the different application areas of our project. • Some of them are stated below Restaurants Academic institutions Shopping malls Hotels Banks , Hospitals and Franchises Offices, Meetings ETC…..
- 10. Conclusion • Surface computing in academia provides more advantages over traditional computing • It provides multiuser and multi touch environment for all the users, which are its key features and provides it the wow effect • The economical model that we have proposed and developed if implemented it could be very much useful in different application areas pertaining to academia
