We will develop several tools for our client, Lockheed Martin, for use with the Microsoft Surface table. We have three goals for the semester.
1. 3D Toolkit: We will build a 3D gesture library for use with the Surface table. Gestures will be designed so that they can be used intuitively in any 3D environment on the Surface. We will also develop a Surface Maps tool. This program will bring Google Earth functionality to the Surface table and allow users to navigate the map with our 3D gestures. Users will also be able to interact with the maps in various ways, such as plotting points or drawing vector shapes.
2. Data Visualization: We will develop a data visualization interface for the Surface table. The user will be able to define a problem and then enter observations including the time and space in which the information was observed. The program will display the level of certainty that a particular observation correlates to an expected scenario.
3. External Devices: We will research external devices that can be used or developed for the Surface table. This may include writing devices, RFID or wi-fi devices, or anything else we find useful.
