Through the ilight project, Immersion is developping new input devices that will support a more direct, natural and intuitive interaction. Based on the use of gesture (G), hand (H) and touch (T), the interfaces we are devising cover a wide range of applications, fully customized and adapted to your needs.

The stereo multitouch multiusers table

From 25 to 29 July 2010, Immersion flies to Los Angeles on the occasion of Siggraph 2010, International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, to introduce a multitouch solution that enables multiview stereoscopy for collaborative exploration of mockups. Chosen among “Emerging Technologies”, Immersion will present an exclusive demonstration titled: « 3D Multitouch: When Tactile Tables Meet Immersive Visualisation Technologies ».


Developed within the framework of an european research project, V-City, the 3D multitouch application aims at researching, developing and validate an innovative system for the reconstruction, visualization and exploitation of large 3D urban environments. This demonstration associates a collaborative multitouch intuitive 2D interface with three-dimensional visualization solutions. Thus, two users can collectively explore a 3D city where everyone has his own point of view of the scene, as it would be with a real mockup.

"This is not so much the use of touch and multi-view which is original, as their combination within a single interface, with all the issues it raises. By the way, the interest of this device is reinforced, in parallel with our demonstration, by our participation in an oral presentation of this interface and its specificity at the conferences of Siggraph”, explains Jean-Baptiste de la Rivière, R&D Manager.
