Abstract

This video introduces DisplayObjects, a rapid prototyping workbench that allows functional displays to be projected on real 3D physical prototypes. DisplayObjects uses a Vicon motion capture system to track the location of physical models. 3D software renditions of the 3D physical model are then texture- mapped with interactive behavior and projected back onto the physical model to allow real-time interactions with the object. This simulates the functionality of future 3D interactive OLED display skins for product designs. We show a selection of interaction techniques used to design a number of DisplayObjects.
