Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010049738A1] A representation system comprises a material representation apparatus, for generating a real-time representation of a working space, which may be an imaging device or may also have material processing functionality. A multi-touch input device is connected to the material representation apparatus, for displaying the real-time representation of the working space on a display, and detects multiple points of contact. A data processor, connected to the multi-touch input device, and to the material representation apparatus, receives inputs representing the multiple points of contact, and generates control signals for the material representation apparatus in response to changes in the received inputs representing movement of the multiple points of contact. In the case of an imaging device, the control signals can for example change the scan size and the zoom of the image. In the case of a device with material processing functions, the control signals can control the material processing.
