Many interactive surfaces have the ability to detect the shape of hands or objects placed on them.

This paper explores the intersection of emerging surface technologies, capable of sensing multiple contacts and often shape information, and advanced games physics engines.

Multi-touch interfaces allow users to translate, rotate, and scale digital objects in a single interaction.

This note examines the role traditional input devices can play in surface computing.

Although interactive surfaces have many unique and compelling qualities, the interactions they support are by their very nature bound to the display surface.

We present techniques and algorithms to simulate grasping behavior on an imaging interactive surface (e.g., Microsoft Surface).

Adding multi-touch sensing to the surface of a mouse has the potential to substantially increase the number of interactions available to the user.

We describe techniques for direct pen+touch input. We observe people’s manual behaviors with physical paper and notebooks.

Instrumented with multiple depth cameras and projectors, LightSpace is a small room installation designed to explore a variety of interactions and computational strategies relat-ed to interactive

We explore the application of depth-sensing cameras to detect touch on a tabletop.

Speakers often use hand gestures when talking about or describing physical objects.

OmniTouch is a wearable depth-sensing and projection system that enables interactive multitouch applications on everyday surfaces.

Phone as a Pixel is a scalable, synchronization-free, platform-independent system for creating large, ad-hoc displays from a collection of smaller devices.

Our society has entered a data-driven era, in which not only enormous amounts of data are being generated every day, but there are also growing expectations placed on their analysis.

How can the physical objects of tomorrow be embedded with information?

A developer's work can get quite repetitive. This tedious part of his or her job decreases work time efficiency by a considerable amount.

Human interaction with the physical world is increasingly mediated by automation -- planes assist pilots, cars assist drivers, and robots assist surgeons.

Identifying and tracking people and mobile devices indoors has many applications, but is still a challenging problem.

Optically see-through (OST) augmented reality glasses can overlay spatially-registered computer-generated content onto the real world.

Gaze-based alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) devices provide users with neuromuscular diseases the ability to communicate with other people through only the movement of their eyes.

Interactive systems like search engines, recommender systems, and ad placement platforms are ubiquitous.

The presentation slide and the complete schedule of Dr. TLA+ Series are available at github.com/tlaplus/DrTLAPlus. A snapshot of the state of a running program is useful in several ways.

UndoDB is a reversible debugger based on a proprietary JIT binary instrumentation implementation. It runs on Linux and Android user-mode processes, on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 and ARM.

Abstract: Program verification tools such as Dafny and F* rely on Z3, an SMT-based automated theorem prover, to dispatch verification conditions.
