MUSE is a framework for developing cost-affordable interactive environments. It allows for rapid development of interactive systems based on tabletops and interactive tiled-display walls. The framework enables to quickly explore different interaction possibilities of multimodal user interfaces based which are made of multiple low-cost commodity devices (e.g., single- and multi-touch overlay panels and foils, web cameras, depth sensors). The framework provides functionality for coupling multiple low-cost commodity touch sensors which are represented as a single seamless interface and functionfs distinguishing and continuous association of users and operations they performed. It allows to track users' hands and to identify which hand generated touch event detected by coupled touch sensor. Description of touch events is extended with user-related semantic data which significantly expands further event processing (e.g., personalised gesture recognition). The framework enables new research directions in exploring interaction methods in co-located group collaborative environments. Current version supports for coupling multiple touch sensors with basic description for touch events (only hand-blob identification, not the user).
