Abstract

Abstract: Large interactive surfaces have found increased popularity in recent years. However, with increased surface size ergonomics become more important, as interacting for extended periods may cause fatigue. Curved is a large-surface interaction device, designed to follow the natural movement of a stretched arm when performing gestures. It tracks one or two hands above the surface, using an array of capacitive proximity sensors and supports both touch and mid-air gestures. It requires specific object tracking methods and the synchronized measurement from 32 sensors. We have created an example application for users wearing a virtual reality headset while seated that may benefit from haptic feedback and ergonomically shaped surfaces. A prototype with adaptive curvature has been created that allows us to evaluate gesture recognition performance and different surface inclinations.
