Exploring multimodal interaction techniques for a mixed reality digital surface

Abstract

Quest – XRoads is a multimodal and multimedia mixed reality version of the traditional role-play tabletop game Quest: Zeit der Helden. The original game concept is augmented with virtual content, controllable via auditory, tangible and spatial interfaces to permit a novel gaming experience and to increase the satisfaction while playing. The demonstration consists of a turn-based skirmish, where up to four players have to collaborate to defeat an opposing player. In order to be victorious, players have to control heroes or villains and use their abilities via speech, gesture, touch as well as tangible interactions.
