How will you contribute?

Multi-display environments combine multiple high-end interactive displays, such as wall-sized displays or tabletops, potentially complemented by wearable devices. They can render large quantities of information and can accommodate multiple people to support collaborative work.

Aim of this internship is to explore how tangible objects can be used in such an environment to interact with geospatial data. To do so, the candidate will work with state-of-the-art interactive tabletops and wall-displays available at LIST to design and prototype a series of tangible interaction techniques, suitable to explore geospatial data.

The internship includes the following tasks:

Get familiar with the technologies used in LIST for multi-display applications and study different contexts of use
Rethink the available tangible objects and their design
Design suitable interaction techniques based on tangible objects
Prototype a selection of techniques
Create a demonstrator to showcase the developed techniques
