Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this work, we studied foundation of input methods for large interactive surfaces such as tabletop systems. We first developed a method for compensating distortion when we put transparent silicon gels on a LCD. Next we developed a system which provides active feedback to users when they touched on the silicon gels. Finally, we developed a method for remote-pointing using simple gestures and combined with touch-capable interactive tabletop systems.
