acura oracles, multi-touch interaction (watch video)

At the recent Detriot Auto Show there were three interactive multi-touch tables called the Acura Oracles. These tables were part of the Acura booth designed by George P. Johnson, and enabled up to four people at a time to explore Acura technology features. Consulting on this project for former student Nikolai Cornell of GPJ, I helped define the technology and interaction. I brought in Moto Development to build the hardware, and worked with GPJ, Moto, and the software/content developer Mindflood.

We hope to conduct a class this summer with one of these multi-touch tables, exploring forms of information presentation and interaction afforded by large-scale multi-touch, multi-user systems. See also a page put up by Bill Buxton, one of the original people to implement multi-touch systems back in the '80s.
