Multitouch Tables

This project was a live installation done as a part of IIJS Signature, Goa 2010. The brief was to create an interactive and dynamic art installation for the cafeteria space of the exhibition.

The initial idea floated around a concept of engaging the visitors with an interactive table while they were spending some quality time at the cafeteria. So we replaced the coffee tables with four interactive multi-touch tables. One of the tables was designed so that people could view the last year’s exhibition photos and the other three were based on the concept of human-object interaction. The reason for introducing an interactive table at the cafeteria was to provide the guests an experience of the Goan environment with some subtle animations as well as an opportunity for them to mingle with one another.



The table was equipped with multi-user interactive animations which were designed based on the theory of response stimuli system. It was an intelligent system which was able to distinguish between the natural hand gestures and objects like ipod, mobile phone, coffee cup etc, and thus responded accordingly to generate visually pleasing animations. The theme of the exhibition was celebrating Goa. So taking inspiration from the goan beaches, we choose water ripples as one of the visuals for the table.



The project comprised mainly of three major segments. First was the designing of the interface through which people interact with the table, the second challenge was achieving it technically and finally the design of the form, colour and placement of the table.

The method of FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) was used for running the photo application on one of the tables and the other three tables worked on the principle of Front Diffusion Illumination. For both the tables, CCV (Community Core Vision) received the blob coordinate data from the web cam feed and later, sent to Adobe Flash via TUIO protocol to generate the graphics.

Controlled Vaccine cooling system Upgradation

Vaccine cooling is required near about five degree centigrade or below. Interface electronic with temperature indicator carried out, which is working successfully. Entire system can also be run on solar panel. Good or bad vaccine condition are displayed by Green and red light emitting diode. Battery charging system is also inbuilt.

Controlled Vaccine cooling system

A project based on controlled vaccine cooling system is successfully done with Mr Pradyumna Vyas. In this project there is a facility for selecting range of temperature for vaccine. So, whenever selected temperature is archived cooling system will be gets on or off. For taking decision ATMega16 microcontroller is used with seven segment display unit. There is also facility for power source so, user can run this unit using A.C. mains power source or battery or solar penal. There is also facility for indicating the vaccine condition is it good or bed. And there is also indication about low battery.

Mobile Data Analysis

To make mobile user-friendly it is essential to know how many mistake mobile operator is doing. This program is written in Visual Basic. Here mobile simulation is available on computer screen, where user can enter data through mouse click. Timing analysis of data feeding is also recorded in text file. This text file can be imported in excel for further data analysis.

ATM Machine Data Analysis

Data collection from the ATM machine further processing and analyzing the data in Microsoft excel. This program is written in Microsoft visual basic. User can feed the data like get cash and balance enquiry etc. Visual basic will collect this data and put into text file which can be imported in excel for data analysis and time consume.
