Portable Large Interactive Display Concept - HyPe’s graduation project

Well… My long journey for getting a Master’s degree in Industrial Design ended last April, where I concluded my graduation project.

After a long break I am finally taking some time to present some of my work to the community, I hope you like it.

For the coming days I will be editing this post adding images and videos. For now, I have added three teaser images. When I have resolved some music issues in the video for youtube I will display that here as well.

A month ago my suitcase was featured on Bright.tv a dutch tech lifestyle magazine:
If you understand Dutch it might be interesting to see the whole video, but if you don’t understand Dutch, just scan through the vid you can see some actual footage.

For a local Dutch company called DPI Animation House I developed a concept where stakeholders in the building industry are given a tool to discuss their large sized building plans.

Traditional building plans have always been printed and presented on large sized documents, nowadays some architects still prefer these physical building plans; according to some because, scale and detail can be communicated much better on paper than on computer screens.
But since building plans are created on a computer more and more, printing them out for a meeting and handling during meetings can get messy.

The concept presented here is only one way to help supporting the stakeholders in this business. The concept features a suitcase which can be rolled and carried to meetings where building plans need to be discussed. This concept is realized in a physical prototype with a fully working interactive surface. The software which is presented in the video only reflects part of the total concept.

Some technical aspects:

The system is placed on the desired surface and generates a 60 inch projection with an ultra short throw projector.
Integrated camera with front LLP system - yes occlusion is present, but this does not seem to pose a problem when operating.
Wireless pens are used to annotate the CAD files and images, this is presented in the concept but not actually working (yet).
Prototype weight: 13 kg - woodworks make the prototype much heavier.
Proposed weight: 6-7 kg - with polyester fiber casing.

The software part is powered by a standard laptop which is carried along with the suitcase.
I used tbeta to receive and relay the touch inputs to a proof of concept flash program which could load up CAD files and images. In the bright.tv video you can see the CCV calibration screen, but for the graduation presentation CCV wasn’t out yet.
