Gesture-controlled interaction to enrich information access. This project is a study of gestural computing (enabled by sensors such as pressure mats, infra-red sensors and video tracking) which aims to move away from desk-bound, restrictive computing environments and towards computing that is more integral to the building structure and space itself. Linking gesture controllers and information sonification delivers a unique bridge between data and human interaction. Enriching the capacity to acce ....Gesture-controlled interaction to enrich information access. This project is a study of gestural computing (enabled by sensors such as pressure mats, infra-red sensors and video tracking) which aims to move away from desk-bound, restrictive computing environments and towards computing that is more integral to the building structure and space itself. Linking gesture controllers and information sonification delivers a unique bridge between data and human interaction. Enriching the capacity to access information in dense workplace environments is central to improved efficiency across the Australian workforce. Greater accuracy and enhanced techniques for controlling information in visually-overloaded work environments contribute to Australia's competitive leadership in a global marketplace.Read moreRead less

Summary
Australian Creative Resources Archive. The facility will digitise wasted cultural materials to create an accessible archive that meets the needs of Australian researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, and the public, specifically in order to stimulate broadband content development. This unique facility and associated research will: (1) provide a rich resource for broadband content development; (2) provide a platform for productive research collaborations with Australian content producers; (3) develop ....Australian Creative Resources Archive. The facility will digitise wasted cultural materials to create an accessible archive that meets the needs of Australian researchers, artists, entrepreneurs, and the public, specifically in order to stimulate broadband content development. This unique facility and associated research will: (1) provide a rich resource for broadband content development; (2) provide a platform for productive research collaborations with Australian content producers; (3) develop innovative classification systems and associated software for content development; (4) develop new intellectual property and new business models; (5) develop new ways to develop and deliver Australian broadband content; and, (6) develop new understandings of creative production processes.Read moreRead less
