|
Time Warp Football |
Time
Warp Football is an example of interactive television. This prototype
allows football fans to skip forward and backward play by play rather
than rewind or fast forward. It also allows the fan to choose the camera
to be used when viewing a play. Instant replay is in the hands of the
fan rather than the broadcast booth. TWF also provides game stats on
demand rather than cluttering up the screen.

ICESheets |
ICESheets
are spreadsheets that allow any cell to contain a complete spreadsheet.
Functions can now return arbitrarily complex values rather than just
strings or numbers. The result is a much more powerfull spreadsheet
model that can do many things not possible in traditional spreadsheets.

Edge Aware Brushes |
These
are brushes that "stay within the lines" while allowing the user
artistic control over which lines are important and which are not. This
video also shows the ability to brush various effects into an image
while respecting the boundaries in a smooth and well behaved way.

Table-top Spilling of Handheld Computers |
A
technique for "spilling" the small screen of a hand-held computer on to
a larger table surface and then navigating around the larger display
with finger touches. For security reasons all normal interaction still
occurs on the hand-held device. The sensing mechanism is a MERL
DiamondTouch. |
|
Teaching Robots to Drive |
This
uses a fast classifier training technique to teach a robot what is safe
to drive on and what is unsafe. The vision system then helps the robot
to avoid unsafe areas. |
|
Screen Crayons |
This
is a technique for taking notes of anything found on the screen. The
notes include the visual context. There are also techniques for
assembling and viewing many such notes. |
|
Image Processing with Crayons |
A demonstration of a system for developing image classifiers simply by drawing on example images. |
|
Light Widgets |
Using multiple cameras new interactive controls can be drawn on any surface and then manipulated using bare hands. |
|
Query by Critique |
A
speech system for finding objects in a large list by critiquing
attributes of objects that are presented to the user. Examples would be
"lower price", "more bedrooms". |
|
Laser Pointer Interaction |
Demonstrates various techniques for using laser pointers to interact with a screen displayed on the wall. |
