ABSTRACT
This paper presents a tabletop application used to explore the potential of tabletops on maritime ship bridges. We have constructed four conceptual scenarios for tabletops in everyday ship operations. An initial study consists of creating video prototypes within a full-sized bridge simulator. These scenarios correspond to tasks regularly performed by a ship's crew. We have introduced an interactive surface to a bridge simulator to conduct an inquiry of bridge officers. Future research should introduce tabletops to a real bridge to investigate their use in a real environment.

Enabling beyond-surface interactions for interactive surface with an invisible projection
UIST '10: Proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyThis paper presents a programmable infrared (IR) technique that utilizes invisible, programmable markers to support interaction beyond the surface of a diffused-illumination (DI) multi-touch system. We combine an IR projector and a standard color ...
Investigating multi-touch and pen gestures for diagram editing on interactive surfaces
ITS '09: Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and SurfacesCreating and editing large graphs and node-link diagrams are crucial activities in many application areas. For them, we consider multi-touch and pen input on interactive surfaces as very promising. This fundamental work presents a user study ...
Novel interaction techniques using touch-sensitive tangibles in tabletop environments
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesIn this work, we propose techniques for interaction that use a touch-sensitive tangible to assist 3D manipulation in tabletop applications. The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness and user satisfaction with this combination ...
