LASIMUP

Abstract

Interactive projections account for a great way of user interaction and can be used in applications that need to span a significant amount of space. However, commercial hardware limit the number of the displayed projections and as a result the need for such applications cannot be satisfied out of the box. This paper discusses the inner workings of LASIMUP (LArge Scale Interactive MUlti-Projection), a platform that aims to bypass that limitation by developing the appropriate software and the use of low-cost supplementary hardware which can enable such functionality. The platform presented has the benefits of being cross-platform, easy to install and affordable to acquire. These factors enable the possibility of creating large scale applications, that otherwise would be impractical to deploy, with a very small financial and operating overhead.
