Inter-View
Julia Kuisl Alissa Lüpke
INTER-VIEW is an interactive application for a public display. The application shows a ski map and is discoverable for the user by in-air gestures. It is especially created for people who enjoy spending time in the mountains. Up to six people can interact with the map simultaneously. For the user representation six different-colored avatars are provided. When the user is tracked one of the colored avatars is connected to the user making it possible to interact with the map through hand gestures by dragging and dropping the avatar on different tracks. When the user selects a track, the track is highlighted and information are shown. The information window contains the slope number, the level of difficulty, whether the slope is open or closed and a current picture of the area. To simulate this, a large TV representing the public display and the Kinect 2 to track the users were used.
