In this project we explore tangible interactions on a tabletop with objects which are too small to be tagged with fiducial markers or to be tracked with a camera. Our approach, called Mediated Tabletop Interactions, uses an intermediate device to identify the objects and communicate their location and orientation to the tabletop. Our prototype, the Rabbit, was design to support the integration of laboratory test tubes and tabletops... TIDE explores the integration between smartphones and interactive tabletops. Our goal is twofold. By integrating the smartphone to a large tabletop display, the smartphone application gain a large display real state for a better user experience, particularly in collaborative settings. On the other side, using applications loaded on a smartphone circumvents the shortage of applications available for such devices and the possible privacy issues associated to using your personal data on a public tabletop... Transparent displays, whether used for spatial..
