Aero-screen: blimp-based ubiquitous screen for novel digital signage and information visualization

Published: 24 March 2014 Publication History

Abstract

The Aero-Screen system is a blimp-based ubiquitous screen onto which information is projected. Although most Augmented Reality research has focused on projectors and cameras, the screen has almost always been the same: flat and fixed. In our system, the screen floats in the air, so our approach makes the screen more active than in conventional screen systems. As the screen floats in the air, the users and the screen approach each other to start interaction. The system recognizes both user and blimp positions through the stereo camera, so it moves to users and shows information to them. The blimp's movement also changes in response to the information being shown. For example, if there are new contents on-screen, the blimp moves more quickly. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of our Aero-Screen.
