The Jennie Lee Research Laboratories at the Open University's (OU) Milton Keynes campus is home to a number of research projects exploring how a variety of technologies can be used to shape and change human behaviour. This week, silicon.com got to take a look at some of them.
Pictured above is a PhD project utilising Microsoft's Surface touchscreen table PC to run a collaborative tour guide application, enabling up to four people to stand around the table together and build an itinerary for tourists visiting the city of Cambridge.
Its creator, PhD student Richard Morris, wanted to build an interface that allows multiple people to interact with the application at once.
The table was demoed during a tour of the OU's Pervasive Interaction Lab, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to human computer interaction research. A team of computer scientists, cognitive scientists, designers and psychologists work together in the lab on projects that explore how technology can be used to augment and influence everyday human behaviour, and help learning and work activites.
