AN INTERACTIVE PAINTING ON A MULTI-VIEW DISPLAY A Masters thesis by Jeremy Newton for the NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program Thesis timeline: January - May 2005 Contact: jnewton@nyu.edu Personal website: http://jeremynewton.com ABSTRACT SUMMARY: The goal of my thesis is to boost the creative potential of flat screen monitors by developing an interactive display that shows distinct and separate moving images to more than one user at the same time. A second goal is to demonstrate the creative power of this display by making a responsive digital painting based on the flow of time. Research of past and current attempts to create a multi-view display reveals that merging a standard LCD with lenticular technology is the best method.   Download Thesis You change viewing angles to shift between past and future scenes MEDIA COVERAGE   -   USER EXPERIENCE   -   THESIS CLIPS   -   CLOSER LOOK   -   TECHNOLOGY MEDIA COVERAGE: Published in July-September 2005 issue of   IEEE Pervasive Computing "Addressing the need for a display that can simultaneously provide multiple views to multiple viewers, Jeremy Newton, a New York University student, demonstrated in his master’s thesis how to build a many-to-many display using a lenticular lens..." Read entry and comments "...Jeremy Newton's thesis project is an interactive multi-view screen that lets more than one viewer see and interact with a moving image or application on the same screen at the same time. Now little Annie can play Halo 2 while nerd child Danny does homework without infighting - interactive telecommunications meets domestic therapy, and no one gets hurt." USER EXPERIENCE: From a straight-on view, you see a past scene of a boy in the park. The pigeons fly around when you approach. The more you move around, the higher and wilder the birds fly. Step to the side, and see a rainy day in the future. The wilder the birds fly in the past, the heavier the rain. CLIPS FROM NYU THESIS PRESENTATION - May 5, 2005: Click image to load video.
