Tangible Desk
The Project gives a preview how new technologies such as multitouch could influence our work in the next years. We tried to find a way to use the technology in a reasonable way because we thought that in the most cases it's only used as a gadget but less profitable. Therefor we created a hybrid desktop that consists of the real desk and the desktop metaphor. We did a lot of research to find out which gestures are used in real life and how to transform them to work with multitouch. The following clip and the photos show examples how multitouch could be used in a bureau or office environment.
Our project was selected as honorable mention in the Non-Browser-Based Design category at the Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2009.
