This video shows the Open Cobalt metaverse browser being tested on a 13-foot by 5-foot multi-touch visualization wall equipped with six high-definition projectors located at the Renaissance Computing Institute engagement center at Duke University. The input drivers are being developed by Dr. Xunlei Wu so that users can directly manipulate high-resolution data using both hands and multiple fingers for a more natural and intuitive data exploration experience. In the video, Dr. Wu is using both gesture and touch to navigate through, and rearrange content between, two Cobalt virtual worlds. See http://opencobalt for more information.

  • Fail?

  • this is a lame unneeded vid. no offense, but i want one!

  • Awful -- a whole lot of stroking and retries succeeds in rotating a 3-D animation of a skull; and not much else. Oh yeah, there is an image of Jupiter, and the demonstrator zooms the images. I am struck by the apparent crudeness and difficulty of controlling the system; a separate interface with or without a touch screen in which the controller shares the audiences' perspective would seem to make more sense. Not remotely ready for dynamic control of a huge display!
