[ARToolKit] Call for Participation: Boot-camp on Build Your Own Multi-touch Surface

Call for Participation: Boot-camp on Build Your Own Multi-touch Surface

This Bootcamp aims to share the knowledge and experience of developers
of multi-touch surfaces with the wider tabletop and interactive
surface community.

Multi-touch interaction with computationally enhanced surfaces has
received considerable attention in the last few years. The rediscovery
of diffused illumination and frustrated total-internal reflection
principles, which allow for building such surfaces at low cost, has
pushed the development of multi-touch applications forward. Although
this and other related techniques have been presented in an academic
setting, the steps involved in building a high quality multi-touch
enabled surface, on a software and hardware level, are not trivial.
By practically demonstrating the steps involved in creating these
interactive surfaces the workshop aims to encourage the exploration of
multi-touch by researchers who may not have considered
self-construction of such hardware viable.

Topics covered:
- Infrared Illumination
- Silicone & Projection surfaces
- Cameras, Optics, Filters & Projectors
- Software
- Hardware Integration
- Community & Network

Date: October 1 2008 (14:00 to 17:00 hrs)
Venue: The bootcamp will be co-located with Tabletops and Interactive
Surfaces at Park Hotel Amsterdam (http://www.parkhotel.nl/).
Capacity: To keep the bootcamp interactive and manageable, the number
of attendees will be restricted to the first 50 or 70 participants.

Participation: The bootcamp is free for all participants of the IEEE
Tabletops and Interactive Surfaces workshop. You can register your
interest in this bootcamp by registering through the website of the
workshop. Please visit www.ieeetabletop.org
for registration.
