Dyadic Projected Spatial Augmented Reality
A Strong Sense for Natural Interactions
This week, Microsoft researcher Hrvoje Benko (@hrvojebenko) is in Hawaii, but not on one of the islands’ beautiful beaches. As conference chair for UIST 2014—the 27th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Symposium on User Interface…
Sensing Techniques for Tablet+Stylus Interaction
We explore grip and motion sensing to afford new techniques that leverage how users naturally manipulate tablet and stylus devices during pen + touch interaction. We can detect whether the user holds the pen in…
3D-Board: A Whole-body Remote Collaborative Whiteboard
Introducing 3D-Board, a digital whiteboard capable of capturing life-sized virtual embodiments of geographically distributed users. When using large-scale screens for remote collaboration, awareness for the distributed users’ gestures and actions is of particular importance. Our…

FlexSense: A Transparent Self-Sensing Deformable Surface
We present FlexSense, a new thin-film, transparent sensing surface based on printed piezoelectric sensors, which can reconstruct complex deformations without the need for any external sensing, such as cameras. Done in collaboration with Media Interaction…
