Un kiosque interactif pour Espaces publics

Abstract

In this demo, we present a new integrated, multi-touch and presence-aware kiosk, designed for public spaces. Existing public interactive systems offer limited interactions, which hinders their utility, usability and attractivity. To overcome these obstacles, we propose a computer vision-based approach to fluid tactilisation and context perception. This is coupled with an interaction toolkit inspired from PAC agents achitectures. An interactive application is described much like a web application---using asynchronous XML, CSS, and a Javascript- like language. GUI rendering performance is achieved by using the OpenGL-based canvas GML. Commercial installations show that naive users appropriate and use our kiosk.
