ElicitTABLE Images

The ElicitTABLE offers and alternative, intuitive method for accessing the SLV collection. Its design is based on the everyday spatial and tactile interactions on a tabletop. Using motion and colour tracking of hand movements on the table the users are able to navigate and interact with content similar to the way they would navigate a web site.

The postcard is an important function of this project. The common touch screen kiosks offer a ‘closed off’ experience to the user and their space. When users finish at the kiosk they are left to remember what could be a large amount of information. If the user were to pick up a card from the rack, read it and want to know more, place it on the table, access information in a space connected to their environment and take the card away with them to aid in their recall of information, it is expected their experience will have benefited.
