Overview

SAGE™ (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment) middleware that provides a common operating environment, or framework, to access, display and share data-intensive 2D/3D multimedia content, such as images, video, and PDFs, on tiled-display walls.

SAGE2™, an open-source, browser-based framework to access, display and share data-intensive 2D/3D multimedia content on tiled-display walls.

Contribution Summary

  • Using Omicron input abstracted library, integrated multi-touch interaction for multi-user collaborative use.
  • Designed a multi-touch, multi-user centric user interface
  • Protoyped multi-touch interface design, evaluated in user studies, and deployed into the SAGE2 codebase.
