User Interface Design to Control a Harvester Swarm using a Multi-Touch-Terminal

This work proposes a user interface for controlling a harvester swarm using multi-touch terminal. At the Center for Technical Design at the TU Dresden, Frank Apitz proposed a future-oriented human-machine interface concept for a 2025 scenario. This work focuses at human-computer interaction aspects of this concept. The goal was to design and to implement a prototype of a multi-touch terminal. A user centered design approach was applied to enhance the user experience.

This project was done at the Chair of Media Design and the Centre for Technical Design of the Dresden University of Technology.
