NDLI: Dialog Table

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Segen, Jakub McAllister, Michael Walczak, Marek
Abstract	Dialog Table is a shared interface where you use hand gestures to discover a museum's collection. Several people can gather around and together explore the table's movies, narratives and 3D journeys. The table provides an opportunity for people to discuss with each other their thoughts on what they have seen. Several teen beta-testers said they wanted their desk at home to work just like the table. The table can work in situations as varied as hospital kiosks, conference rooms, collaborative design stations, game rooms, bedrooms.Dialog Table was commissioned by the Walker Art Center through an international design competition to promote social interactions among visitors, to provide access to the Walker's multidisciplinary collections, and to facilitate learning about art. The table was designed by Marek Walczak, an artist and architect, Michael McAllister, an industrial designer and Jakub Segen, a leader in recognition systems. http://dialogtable.com.
