The students and researchers of the three Aalto schools work and study at geographically separated locations, and therefore rarely interact with each other on a daily basis. To increase the feeling of social unity, this project opens a virtual window between the separate Aalto campuses: three multitouch tables, augmented with 3D infrared cameras and mobile phones, are installed in a public place at each Aalto school. These multimodal environments are then interconnected via real-time networking, engaging people to interact with each other in an entertaining and playful experience.
