Playing with Google Earth and Warcraft III on a Table


Edward Tse created a digital table interface that allows users to interact with programs such as Google Earth and games like Warcraft III. In this video, Edward shows how he can zoom in, out, and over a 3D Google Earth globe using his hands and voice without any mice or keyboards. The interactions with the Earth globe are truly amazing. In World of Warcraft, Edward and a partner move players around on the digital tabletop with their hands. This work was his PhD thesis topic - Multimodeal Co-located Interaction at the Interactions Laboratory of the University of Calgary.
