Immersive, Social Applications for 8K Displays

Abstract

Collaborations between the MIT Media Lab, NHK, and Toshiba Memory Corporation are exploring applications for large touch- and gesture-sensing 8K screens, including collaborative educational games, interactive visualizations for extremely dense anatomical datasets, and novel interfaces for exploring large media archives. In this paper I give an overview of the project, describe four representative applications, and provide design and user experience lessons learned.
