A component-oriented framework for experimental computer graphics

Computer Standards & Interfaces

Abstract

This paper provides a report about a framework that uses a variety of standards. Readers interested in 3D computer graphics or component-oriented technology in C++ will find a report about the integration of various standards by relying on yet another standard for component oriented software engineering. The highly successful Java standard called Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) is employed in a C++ implementation called Open Service Platform.

Towards a Formalization of Multi-touch Gestures

ACM Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces 2010

Abstract

Multi-touch is a technology which offers new styles of interaction compared to traditional input devices like keyboard and mouse. Users can quickly manipulate objects or execute commands by means of their fingers and hands. Current multi-touch frameworks offer a set of standard gestures that are easy to use when developing an application. In contrast, defining new gestures requires a lot of work involving low-level recognition of touch data. To address this problem, we contribute a discussion of strategies towards a formalization of gestural interaction on multi- touch surfaces.

Abstract

Multi-touch hardware has only recently entered the mainstream of information technology. Interaction designers, product developers and users have been influenced by this development. In order to build multitouch applications, programmers have created various reusable frameworks. To obtain an overview of this diversity, we present a list of criteria to classify, evaluate, and select multi-touch frameworks.
