Welcome to ITS 2011

The Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces 2011 Conference (ITS) is a premiere venue for presenting research in the design and use of new and emerging tabletop and interactive surface technologies. As a new community, we embrace the growth of the discipline in a wide variety of areas, including innovations in ITS hardware, software, design, and projects expanding our understanding of design considerations of ITS technologies and of their applications.

Building on their success in previous years, ITS again features Papers and Notes presentations, as well as tutorials, posters, demonstrations tracks and a doctorla symposium.

ITS 2011 will bring together top researchers and practitioners who are interested in both the technical and human aspects of ITS technology. We invite you to begin planning your submissions and participation for this year's conference!

Co-located workshop

Dexis 2011

Dexis 2011 focuses on the use of interactive surfaces for visual data exploration. Interactive tabletops and surfaces provide rich opportunities for data visualization and analysis, and consequently are used more and more in such settings.

Organizer: Petra Isenberg (INRIA)
