A tangible mixed reality interface for the AMI automated meeting assistant

Abstract

In this paper we describe our approach to support ongoing meetings with an automated meeting assistant. We propose an alternative user interface for the AMIDA Content Linking Device. In order for the system to be less distractive and more collaborative than the original laptop screen based one, we developed a system that projects documents onto the table tops right in front of the meeting participants. This way they appear as if they were printed on paper, lying in front of the participants. We describe our setup as well as the user interface we built to handle and share these documents. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
