Tangible Tracking Table (TTT) I

Andy Wu, Manvesh Vyas, Meekal Bajaj & Dr. Ali Mazalek

The Tangible Tracking Table (TTT) is an interactive tabletop display that allows both fingertip and tangible object tracking. Multiple users can simultaneously control a variety of tagged objects that can perform different tasks. At the same time, users can employ their fingertips for more subtle manipulations. TTT can support a range of digital media applications in collaborative settings, such as meeting rooms, classrooms and living rooms. Applications under development include games and storytelling engines, as well as a stage manager for machinima creation. The TTT project includes the construction of the table and adapted software APIs based on the ReacTIVision toolkit for user-end application development.
