Strip ʼ TIC : a mixed interactive space for Air Traffic Control

The current environment used by French air traffic controllers mixes digital visualization such as radar screens and tangible artifacts such as paper strips. Tangible artifacts do not allow controllers to update the system with the instructions they give to pilots. Previous attempts at replacing them in France failed to prove efficient. This paper describes Strip’TIC, a novel system for ATC that mixes augmented paper and digital pen, vision-based tracking and augmented rear and front projection.
