Today, in NTUA- School of Architecture Costas and me presented our initial setup of a multitouch display and its capabilities regarding the urban-space reform and the interaction capabilities on public space.

The setup we used was a Sony Digicam hooked on a Linux-based laptop running tbeta (o community open-source multitouch cross-platform system ) and then via a projector the result (tracked IR blobs) is projected back to the acryllic that has created the IR-blobs (through FTIR) in the first place.

This was just a proof of concept on multi-touch and multi-input systems, that can be easily be the core technology behind an interactive installations in public spaces. Many ideas come up today during a brainstrorming and we are trying to detrmine our next step towards a more specific scenario-based approach
