Design and Impressions of a Multi-User Tabletop Interaction Device

Cunningham, A., Close, B., Thomas, B. and Hutterer, P.

    TableMouse is a cursor manipulation device designed specifically for multiple users interacting on large tabletop surface. TableMouse tracks position, height, orientation, button state, and unique identification. It is designed using infrared light emitting diodes and computer vision to perform device tracking and identification. This paper explores the functional design of such a device. Insights into the inherent features enabled by this functionality – out of arms reach interaction, collaborative interaction – are described. The architecture, vision analysis process, and issues to consider are described. Finally two example applications utilising the TableMouse are described.
