Selected videos from DiamondTouch User Community

Around the Table. Researchers from the Human-Computer Interaction Design group at the Indiana University School of Informatics offer up this study of collocated collaboration and the need for multi-user computer interfaces.

Emergency Response. This is a system designed for disaster management built by Geodan using the DiamondTouch table.

DiamondSpin. First shown at CHI 2004, researchers from MERL, University of Paris, and Stanford University offer this solution to the orientation issue in tabletop computing. DiamondSpin is now open sourced and downloadable on www.diamondspin.org.

Beyond Social Protocols. Researchers from Stanford University, MERL, and University of Paris examine how people work together and how multi-user touch can be used to enforce social protocols. This work was first presented at the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)

GroupLab SDG Toolkit. Researchers from University of Calgary developed a toolkit for rapid development of single display groupware on the DiamondTouch table.

WarCraft. Edward Tse from University of Calgary created this speech + gesture interface for operating WarCraft on the DiamondTouch table, making Ed a YouTube rock star! More about Ed on www.edwardtse.com.

Expressive Touch. Presented at TableTop 2006 (the first annual IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Human-Computer Systems), this work from University of Toronto and MERL looks at one and two hand gesture input on the DiamondTouch table.

DiamondTouch + Max/MSP. Here is some interesting work from University of Tokyo’s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), using DiamondTouch and MAX/MSP to create a multi-touch, multi-user musical interface.

TetraTetris. This is a four-player twist on the popular computer game of Tetris. This application, developed by researches from the University of Arizona, was presented at INTERACT 2003 and was one of the first multi-user DiamondTouch applications developed outside MERL.

UIST 2001. This video shows the original DiamondTouch prototype system developed at MERL as shown at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in 2001. The last 50 seconds, which betray the state of mind of the authors after several all-nighters, are worth the wait.
