Organising Crowd-Sourced Media Content via a Tangible Desktop Application

Abstract

This paper aims to present a framework for collaborative design environments during the manipulation of multimedia content. The proposed desktop system can be assumed as an imitation of physical desktop including three additional properties: a tangible timeline layer, a projection of 2D plan and 3D perspective views which can be controlled through specified augmented reality markers. The potentials of this desktop application, such as unfoldable experience of time via a timeline, multi-touch manipulation and organisation of 2D and 3D visual data, were explored for the further augmented reality studies.
