PhotoHelix - Organizing and Viewing Photos in a Tabletop environment
Project Thesis, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Germany), 2006 (bib)

In the course of my Project Thesis I designed and implemented an application for tabletop displays that allows the user browsing, organizing, viewing and sharing of his or her photo collection. The photos are shown along a curled, spiral time-line that is bound in its position to a (physical) rotary device on the table and can be navigated with it as well. The user can combine single photos to events and create enlarged, manipulable copies using simple gestures. In the following, I present goals, design, implementation and its aspects and the limits of PhotoHelix.
