Acquario: A Tangible Spatially-Aware Tool for Information Interaction and Visualization

Published: 15 October 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Acquario is an interactive, spatially aware personal cubic display that can be used as an interaction tool for visualizations. Acquario uses the Pepper's ghost effect to transform a web-based visualization into a "holographic" visualization that can be interacted with using gestures, proximity or custom laser printed tangible objects with embedded NFC tags. The aim of Acquario is to enable proximity, tangible and gestural interactions for designers for keyboard and mouse based interactions, allowing users an innovative and "hands on" means.
