Collaborative Access to Information about Physical Objects via See-Through Displays

该项目的主要目的是调查透明显示器的使用，以提供资源，以丰富用户对放置在玻璃屏幕后的感兴趣物体的信息的访问。LCD技术和微级可控照明的快速发展推动了在零售环境和美术馆等公共场所使用透明显示器的概念。到目前为止，大多数研究原型都局限于单用户交互，然而这种显示器最有益的方面是它们能够支持多个独立的用户组通过系统同时工作。不幸的是，到目前为止，对用户如何在这样的显示环境中交互或者应该如何设计这样的环境以支持多个用户同时使用的了解还很少。

The main aim of this project is to investigate the use of see-through displays to provide resources to enrich user access to information on objects of interest placed behind a glass screen. Rapid advances in LCD technologies and micro-level controlled lighting have propelled the concept of using see-through displays in public spaces like retail environments and art galleries. To date most research prototypes have been limited to single user interactions, yet the most beneficial aspect of such displays is their ability to support multiple independent groups of users in working simultaneously through the system. Unfortunately, there is, as yet, very little understanding of how users can interact in such display environments or how such environments should be designed to support simultaneous use by multiple users.
