ABSTRACT
We propose “ReQTable”, an optical system displaying dual-sided mid-air images to each of four users with less stray light. Dual Slit Mirror Arrays (dual SMAs) can produce a mid-air image that multiple people can view simultaneously without wearing special equipment. Dual SMAs are rectangular and can theoretically display mid-air images in the four surrounding directions. However, they also produce unwanted light, called stray light, which is especially noticeable when mid-air images are displayed in some directions. It is difficult for users to identify stray lights, and they cannot concentrate on viewing only the mid-air images. To improve a user experience, it is necessary to suppress stray light. ReQTable displays mid-air images in four directions with stray light reduction.

Eliciting Mid-Air Gestures for Wall-Display Interaction
NordiCHI '16: Proceedings of the 9th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionFreehand mid-air gestures are a promising input method for interacting with wall displays. However, work on mid-air gestures for wall-display interaction has mainly explored what is technically possible, which might not result in gestures that users ...
Pen + Mid-Air: An Exploration of Mid-Air Gestures to Complement Pen Input on Tablets
NordiCHI '16: Proceedings of the 9th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionIn this paper, we report on a series of studies, exploring the potential of pen and mid-air input on tablets. We describe a field study with an early prototype of a drawing application and follow-up inquiries, such as the development and comparison of ...
Spatially aware tangible display interaction in a tabletop environment
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesOne limiting factor of digital tabletops is that interaction is usually restricted to a single 2D surface. I propose to extend this interaction space to the 3D space above the table by using spatially aware handheld displays. Utilizing the spatial ...
