Desktop: A Design Guideline To Creating A Multi-Touch Desk Prototype

In many multi-touch tables, a projector is used to project an image onto the surface and a camera is used to detect user touches. The optical paths for both the camera and projector limits the physical design of multi-touch tables. Our research focuses on the creation of a multi-touch desk that improves on the physical design of past multi-touch tables by using a combination of multiple cameras and a liquid crystal display to create a physical design that is ergonomic, mobile, collaborative/scalable and simplistic in design.
