i-m-Top

Interactive Multi-resolution Tabletop:i-m-Top,is a tangible interface let allow user to interact with their finger directly.Different from Microsoft Serface, i-m-Top has two resolution, with high resolution in center and low resolution in other area.

These are the screen shots that run on simulator. The hole in right part is the area in high resolution,which appeared on the left side.

Initially, the picture would flow slowly on the screen, and there is a blue disc placed at the bottom-right corner.

Once the user touches the disc, it would move to the center and expand to five categories.

On choosing any category, it splashes a group of cards,which carries the image and information corresponding to that category.The cards could be scaled, rotated, moved by fingers with some gestures.

Selected one of the cards, the painting would scroll to the position of that card, and user could flip the card to read what is going on that spot.
