Abstract :
The goal of our research is to support face to face discussion performed by participants with differing languages. To support such a discussion, the Lumisight Table, which can provide different information simultaneously on a single screen, has been proposed. We have developed a multilingual face to face idea generation support system on a Lumisight table. The advantage of the use of the multilingual function is to display the correct direction and in the participant´s native language. Each user seated around a table can see a similar image but characters in the images are rotated to each user´s direction. However, we found other problems in multilingual input and display. To solve the problem, we propose a concept of multilayer structure on Lumisight table.
