Still today, the most common way to interact with software
applications and internet it is by using a keyboard and a mouse device.
Altough, in the last years technology brought us new interesting ways
of interacting with informations and systems such as multitouch
surfaces, movements and speed tracking by using accelerometers,
gestures recognition and so on.
My Multitouch Table prototype (i-Cube) and MIRIA SDK in action
In this scenario seems like the OSC protocol, a protocol used for transmitting output received by those devices, is becoming a standard.
MIRIA relays on top of this protocol and it is a cross-platform software that consist of two components:
MIG (Multi Input Gateway) a desktop client for the end-user and it
will let him interact with applications by using his multitouch table,
ipod/iphone, wii-remote, wii-fit and such. MIG has also a Remote Pad functionality that let you use your ipod/iphone as a multitouch pad to control your PC remotely.
MIRIA SDK library for adding, to standard desktop or
Silverlight /Moonlight web applications, multi device support and
let end-user experience a more natural interaction with them. MIRIA SDK is available for .NET and
MONO platforms.
Interessantissimo il lavoro di Chris Harrison sul riconoscimento dell'input basato sull'interpretazione del suono prodotto dal movimento di una mano. ad esempio, su una superficie.
