Design and Development of Low-cost Portable Immersive Spaces (2011)
article⁄Design and Development of Low-cost Portable Immersive Spaces (2011)
abstract⁄In this paper, we will explore the potentials of lowcost portable immersive environments that combine textile structures, gesturebased interfaces and multiple projections. Our aim is to develop affordable, easy to set up, portable and inviting immersive spaces that can serve as an interface between a webbased geographic virtual environment, experts and lay people. In this context, after the introduction, we will review a variety of methods, conceptual tools and materials related to textile tectonics and techniques which can be individually used or combined for the development and construction of portable immersive spaces. In the next section, we will discuss the opportunities and challenges of using a lowcost gesturebased interface Kinect to support ’touchless’ interactions. Consequently, we will present the design alternatives of lowcost portable immersive spaces that we have synthesized from our background studies. This will be followed by the observations and findings from our prototype development, implementation and preliminary testing processes. In conclusion, we will discuss our conclusions and recommendations regarding the future development of lowcost portable immersive spaces.
