Qoom - An Interactive Omnidirectional Ball Display

Explore the innovative Qoom, a perfectly spherical interactive display system, in this 21-minute conference talk from the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology. Dive into the development of this unique ball-shaped input and output device that can be rotated, thrown, and even kicked. Learn about the implementation of touch and rotation detection, real-time object tracking, and spherical projection mapping. Discover how Qoom utilizes actions like touching, rotating, bouncing, and throwing as controls. Examine practical applications that showcase the distinctive advantages of ball displays, including Pano Chat, Calendar Ball, and Face Matching. Gain insights into the potential uses of spherical displays in daily life and understand how users interact with spheres in this cutting-edge presentation on user interface technology.
