ABSTRACT
We present CThru, a self-guided video-based educational environment in a large multi-display setting. We employ a video-centered approach, creating and combining multimedia contents of different formats with a story-telling education video. With the support of new display form factors in the environment, viewing a sequential educational video thread is replaced by the immersive learning experience of hands-on exploration and manipulation in a multi-dimensional information space. We demonstrate CThru with an animation clip in cellular biology, supplementing visible objects in the video with rich domain-specific multimedia information and interactive 3D models. We describe CThru's design rationale and implementation. We also discuss a pilot study and what it revealed with respect to CThru's interface and the usage pattern of the tabletop and the associated large wall display.

Tangible displays for the masses: spatial interaction with handheld displays by using consumer depth cameras
Spatially aware handheld displays are a promising approach to interact with complex information spaces in a more natural way by extending the interaction space from the 2D surface to the 3D physical space around them. This is achieved by utilizing their ...
Exploring gesture-based interaction techniques in multi-display environments with mobile phones and a multi-touch table
AVI '10: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesIn this paper, we explore the potential of combining shared and interactive displays (e.g. a multi-touch table) with personal devices (e.g. mobile phones) as an important class of heterogeneous multi-display environments. Within six case studies ...
