Synopsis

GeoTUI is a system designed for geophysicists that provides props as tangible user interface on a tabletop vision-projection system for the selection of cutting planes on a geographical map of a subsoil model. Our GeoTUI system allows the geophysicists to manipulate in the same action and perception space since the movement of the physical artifacts is done on the tabletop and thus constrained to two dimensions. Consequently, our system combines the advantages of the spontaneous conditions of user interaction that the geophysicists are commonly used to, in their classical paper/pen/ruler environment, with the advantages of the use of powerful geological simulation software.
