چکیده

Recent developments in the field of semi-immersive display technologies provide new possibilities for engaging users in interactive three-dimensional virtual environments (VEs). For instance, combining low-cost tracking systems (such as the Microsoft Kinect) and multi-touch interfaces enables inexpensive and easily maintainable interactive setups. The goal of this work is to bring together virtual as well as real objects on a stereoscopic multitouch enabled tabletop surface. Therefore, we present a prototypical implementation of such a mixed reality (MR) space for tangible interaction by extending the smARTbox [FLBS12]. The smARTbox is a responsive touch-enabled stereoscopic out-of-the-box system that is able to track users and objects above as well as on the surface. We describe the prototypical hardand software setup which extends this setup to a MR space, and highlight design challenges for the several application examples.

Tangible Interaction in Mixed Reality Systems

In this chapter, we discuss the design of tangible interaction techniques for Mixed Reality environments. We begin by recalling some conceptual models of tangible interaction. Then, we propose an engineering-oriented software/hardware co-design process, based on our experience in developing tangible user interfaces. We present three different tangible user interfaces for real-world applications...

A Mixed Reality System with Visual and Tangible Interaction Capability - Application to Evaluating Automobile Interior Design

This paper presents a mixed reality (MR) system with tangible interface as well as visual fusion in an MR space. The sense of touch is given by physical objects on which computer generated imagery is accurately registered and superimposed. The proposed approach is especially useful in industrial design where digital mockups and physical mockups are thoroughly utilized.
