4th Year Project underway

After a long absence from any blog posts (my fault entirely) I have decided to ressurect my blog to chronicle my 4th year project for my Computer Science degree at the University of Bristol.

The basic idea is a using a DNP HoloScreen to provide a touch interface that combines the real and digital worlds. The example I am using is a bookcase which has (physical) books in it and a glass HoloScreen on the front. Obviously you can see "through" the screen, and information is projected "on" to it. In this way users could point at books and at information on the screen and get the best of physical and digital interfaces.

I'm currently trying to think of a good name for it. The best I have so far are; Touchpacity, LucentTouch and SurfaceTouch. Any good suggestions are welcome!
