Multi-Touch Interaction for 3D Urban Development

Abstract

Betaville is an ongoing project at University of Applied Sciences Bremen, that aims at providing an online collaboration platform in the field of urban development. Its main purpose is to engage the residents of a city in a collaborative, creative environment, where everyone can express their ideas towards enhancing underdeveloped city areas. By providing a development and communication environment, Betaville aims at narrowing the gap between residents of a city, the administration and potential investors as well as taking advantage of the creative potential of the people. Betaville is focused on reaching its audience through three different, yet integrated platforms: web client, mobile phones and multi-touch table (MTT). The demo presented will feature the MTT.
