Orchestrating the Multi-touch Classroom
In June, we conducted the first pilot study using the Kinect to run the SynergyNet classroom. The teacher bravely tried all three tools – the screen, iPad and Kinect – with a strong preference for the Kinect, despite a few issues. Check back in the next few months for further developments with this technology!

iPad meets SynergyNet
The SynergyNet team got to bring some of their favourite things together this week – multi-touch technology, maths classes and really pretty hardware. See the photos below of Prof Steve Higgins running the mulit-touch tables and managing the classroom from his ipad, while the students worked on our newest application, NumberNet:
Networked content in use: Network Flick
Building on the Networked capabilities of the SynergyNet system, objects can be passed between tables. In the video below, the first group of school children pass images between their tables – to the excitement of the children and the SynergyNet team!
The SynergyNet Classroom
In May 2010, the four sit-to-use tables were delivered to SynergyNet, allowing us to build the first multi-touch classroom environment.
Lumin Tables
We have received two multi-touch surfaces from Lumin Visual Technologies AG. The TEL team has already developed the necessary component to interface this hardware with the software that will form a major delivery of the project.
