Presentation: Multi-Touch Workshop
SOCO currently holds workshops on multi-touch computing and its creative applications. The results of the workshops (5 new Multi-touch application concepts) will be presented on Thursday, 14 February from 20.00h-22.00h at the SOCO Amsterdam exhibition space.
Participants and projects include:
Regis Lemberthe-
A (Demo) Table-top application for recognizing and displaying information about food products. Utilizes RFID tracking, triangulation and more advanced blob recognition to enable better communication between the producer and end-user (consumer or chef)
Juan Rios-
A Media distribution interface for libraries.
Allows multiple users to simultaneously search through database of (torrent) media files via 3d graphic interface. Files can then be downloaded to mobile device through various formats (usb, bluetooth, etc.)
Remy Korrelboom & Thomas Kerkhof-
A table-top music generator/ sound sampler application
Nick Harmens & Robin Buitenhuis-
A color game for children (1 - 6 players).
Players use pools of primary colors (red, blue, yellow) to replicate colors as they appear in the center of the table.
Harmen Hofstra & Bolke de Bruin-
A group brain-storming application. Utilizes multi-user and gesture-based tools for brainstorm sessions. Does not require keyboard but rather shape and symbol recognition to annotate and structure initial ideas.
The SOCO Multi-touch workshop has been made possible in part by the support of:
Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst
..............................................
SOCO organizes events to provide a podium for certain temporal (time-based) disciplines.
Considering that much of the work that SOCO produces and exhibits is user-responsive, events help make those artworks more accessible by creating a social context in which to interact with them.
