ITS 2012 talk posted!

I attended my first Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces (ITS) conference last week and presented an overview of our work to date on the MTAGIC project. I thoroughly enjoyed the conference! There is just so much great and interesting work going on in the areas of touch and gesture interaction for all types of platforms, ranging from smart interactive tabletops, to interactive boards, to Kinect-based mid-air gestures, to mobile touchscreen devices, and more. I presented our MTAGIC findings with respect to how children expect to and do use touchscreen devices differently than adults, focusing on low-level interactions such as touching onscreen targets and making finger gestures. For those interested, check out my slides. I look forward to attending next year’s ITS 2013 conference in St. Andrews, Scotland, UK!
